"Everything you need. Excellent staff and service. Value for money."

Great site in the middle of everything. Efficient reception and front of house staff.Bedrooms not de-Luxe but real value for the price. Concierge most helpful and informed. Bedroom Doors a bit heavy to open and the card lock only gives you 5 seconds to get the door open. Room 507.Thanks for a great stay.

Room was comfortable although complimentary water and biscuits would have been appreciated, offered as standard in other hotels. Also we found restaurant service a little slow in particular afternoon tea when the restaurant was not busy.

"A beautiful hotel in a great location"

The decor is really 1st class, the bedrooms were spotlessly clean and the furnishings were lovely. All of the staff at the hotel are curteous and polite and we had an extremely enjoyable stay. Would not hesitate in recommending this hotel.

"an exceptionally comfortable hotel.Ideal location.No queing at breakfast or reception to checkin "

One item I found irritating was the fact we were billed for drinks we never had.This was due to the touch system of the fridge, we moved some items to make room for water. So we were automatically billed.I felt this was an unnecessary use of staff time, a waste of resources ie paper nand envelopes thrown away.I thought we were all into conserving things.Please amend this waste.

"Good value for money"

A comfortable hotel, centrally placed for the Royal Opera House, managed by friendly, helpful staff who provide a very good service. The morning after the evening opera/ballet you are provided with a good breakfast that sets you up for the day. We shall definitely be using the hotel again.

"Quality with excellent location!"

This hotel offers everything. Use it !!! We found it ticks every box. The staff are friendly and helpful. It feels like you have paid for 5 star service and you could not get a better location - it was fabulous. To sum this hotel up - It is quality at an affordable price! See for yourself - We couldn`t fault it - GO!!!!

"Convenient location, comfortable hotel, efficient staff."

Good quality breakfast included in the price. Bathrooms could do with improvement - weak fixed overhead shower and a curtain rather than a screen didn`t impress. £38 for 2 glasses of white wine rather steep.

"noisy"

My only comment would be that if you are on the 7th floor during the hot weather the air conditioning units on the roof are very noisyI would definitely stay again but would request another floor The staff were excellent and we had the set meal in the restaurant which was the spatchcock chicken which was disappointing and a little too fussy being on the bone - I accept this is more a personal preference. The breakfast was very good and the staff very helpful

"Very clean modern room. Helpful and polite staff"

Room was clean and all facilities that you would expect to find were there. We had paid for breakfast which was hot and plentiful. There was a good choice and could help yourself to as much or as little as you wished. Rooms cleaned every morning all staff very polite would stay here again without hesitation

We actually got an upgrade to Westbury Hotel Mayfair so cant comment on Kingsway. But Westbury was very good, clean and newly refurbished. Only downside was that the drinks in bar of hotel were way too expensive....£ 13 for glass of wine.

"Great stay, little touches missing."

lovely hotel ,but for a 4 star hotel we had to ask for tiolet roll to topped up soap and shampoo refreshed, and biscuits are not supplied with the tea and coffee. Poor show for a 4 star. That said its still a good hotel in a great location.

"Excellent location"

Plus points excellent location, staff very helpful and friendly, clean hotel...negative points the charge for Internet in public area, extra charge if a cappuccino requested at breakfast, and a serving table was in front of the fire extinguisher in the restaurant between the two work stations the staff used, also felt tables very close together in restaurant not much privacy. . Would def come back though.

"Excellent room and very clean and tidy throughout."

Could do with updating television stations. Only 3 worked when we arrived but improved a little to 7 the following day which is still not very good.This was the only poor part of the hotel with staff polite at all times and breakfast good.

" Room nicely decorated but lacked quality products of other 4 star hotels.Breakfast abysmal! "

We booked this hotel for my birthday and to attend the opera. We do this each year in London. The hotel staff were very polite and accommodating. However, we did not have Molton Brown products in our room as described on the website. Neither did we have bottles of mineral water which is a given in other 4 star hotels we have stayed in.The Breakfast was seriously inadequate for the price of the room, worst breakfast we have ever had in a hotel supposedly of that status.
