"Staff very helpful at reception and concierge on arrival "

My daughter and I stayed here on a weekend break ! We found it perfect for our stay . Close proximity for shopping in Oxford street and close to the tube stations for easy access for sightseeing and theatre land ! It was clean and very comfortable ! I am a light sleeper and wasn`t disturbed once ! If there was one thing that was wrong it was the fact that the curtains allowed the daylight to stream in early in the morning ! But on the 2nd night I put the suitcase against them and this helped a lot ! Would definitely use this hotel in the future :-)

"Some rooms beginning to look a bit tired and in need of redecoraction."

Great location but it is not cheap. Some rooms are really small with the bed up against the wall which isn`t ideal. Breakfast will cost you £18 each in the hotel but there`s a Wetherspoons just around the corner where you can get 2 breakfasts and drinks for £12.Have never tried Rhodes restaurant but there always seems to be plenty of people in there.Always put the `Do Not Disturb` sign on the door otherwise housekeeping will be knocking on the door before 8 a.m., not good on a weekend break!

"Clean, comfortable hotel"

Rooms clean and comfortable. Public rooms very grand. Bathroom requires a more effective extractor fan, as became very steamy when having a shower. Bathrom became a wet room when taking a shower as the shower screen had no rubber seal at the base of it. Breakfast was an experience - the Market Restaurant was more like a school canteen/motorway service station than a breakfast room. Food was OK but nothing spectacular so would not recommend having breakfast there unless it was inclusive in the booking price. Situation is good close to Oxford Street and the shops, the underground station, Marble Arch and lots of pubs and cafes/restaurants nearby. Would stay there again but would probably forego breakfast unless it was part of the deal.

"Very, very nice hotel - lovely staff"

Was made to feel welcome the moment I walked in. Very nice staff. Service was excellent. The lobby is amazing and the bar is very atmospheric. Room was very clean and tidy. Air con excellent. The only thing I could complain about was a strange smell of drains in the bathroom, which seemed to come and go. Otherwise, a very good hotel.

"excellent quiet room"

Even though we arrived at about 09.45 we were given the choice of a quiet room in the adjacent building. This was really excellent and courtious service. All the more apparent when we went out next morning to find a 100ft crane outside the main building!! and we never heard a thing. will definetly return

"Comfort on the doorstep of the city"

Really comfortable, very attentive and friendly staff. There was a slight draft from the window at night, the TV signal was not great, and the shower leaked a little - but other than that, a fabulous 4-star stay. I will definitely be recommending it.

"A perfect balance of quality and value "

It was our first time staying at the Cumberland and would most defiantly stay again. Good large clean rooms and extremely quiet, more than enough on site eating/drinking which make this hotel the perfect balance of quality and value.

"Evening meal "

We were not aware that it was necessary for Guests to book for evening meal in the Brasserie. When we went there at 7.30pm we were told that it was fully booked (by non resident parties ) so then had to go searching for elsewhere to eat

"Breakfast could have been better - Food warm and overcooked"

The £55 Service Charge on the meal at W1 was over the top. The drinks were far to expensive but the food was good.

"Room availability"

The hotel accommodation was good however we found that even though I paperwork said we could have our room from 2pm that it still wasn`t ready when we arrived at 3pm and then we were woken up by the cleaners trying to access our room at 8.30 am even though we didn`t have to vacate until 12pm.

Our stay at the Cumberland was marred by the absence of any water on the Sunday morning. The attitude of the staff member at the check in desk when we reported the problem was dismissive and rude. When we asked to see a manager, she disappeared and returned after to sometime saying none was available. After much effort, we eventually got an e-mail address for a manager. I should have paid attention toTrip Advisor`s ratings. There were long queues for check-in and the the noise in the hotel foyer was horrific with children running about screaming and the hard surfaces of the foyer did nothing to deflect the noise level. I would not recommend it to anyone. Its only positive feature is its location.

Hotel is excellent in most respects, the only failing is the registration/checkout procedure which is extremely slow, perhaps a feature of a large foreign clientele during my visit.

Very clean and plenty of room in the bedrooms. Bathroom cleaned to a high standard. Slightly noisy being so near to oxford street, plus problem being able to get in the lifts at 9:30 in the morning, as everone in the hotel seemed to be using them. Unable to find any stairs to walk down.
