St. Giles London Hotel Reviews

2 out of 5

Room was small but adequate. Would not be large enough for large man. Bathroom was not clean - stained shower tray, under sink filthy and wire connector covered with tape in full view.

The location of the St. Giles Hotel is great. It is literally minutes away from the Tottenham Court Road tube station which is great if you're seeing the sights. I stayed in a single room which was quite small but clean and comfortable with a TV and tea/coffee making facilities. The only complaint would be that the bathroom was a bit too small, you could hardly turn around in it, but there was plenty of hot water. The breakfast was great with plenty of choice of both hot and cold dishes and all the staff were very friendly and helpful, from check in and out to holding your luggage for you. I thought it might be noisy at night due to its location and size (it seems very popular with coach parties as any time I passed the reception area another coach-load seemed to be checking in), but there were no problems at all. I would definitely stay here again as it's in such a good location but I think I'll book a double room the next time for a little more space!

Great location for Central London attractions and only 2 min walk to tube station. Rooms are tiny - but clean and have everything you need (ensuite, kettle, hairdryer). Allowed us to check in early at 11am and can leave bags at hotel if leaving late for a small fee. Breakfast is standard. Staff friendly. Far better than other London hotels I have stayed at which were less central, not clean and costing more. No conplaints.

A friend and I shared a twin room for a long weekend. The room was adequately sized. I could see from the room map in the hotel that some rooms are very small but the one we stayed in was perfectly fine for the amount of time we planned sending there (quite little). The toilet/shower room was clean and compact. It did steam up a lot and could have done with a better extractor system. The beds were OK. Mine was a little more uncomfortable. We needed to leave the window open (we stayed there in June and the weather was warm and humid) but I still slept well. My friend wasn't used to the city noises so expect to hear vehicles and sirens being so close to Tottenham Court Road. Location of the hotel was excellent. Close to all the places we wanted to go and all within walking distance (if you don't Tube it all the time). Breakfast was good. The fried food was what I liked and the selection of cereals was good. Would have liked muesli to be availabel though. Altogether very satisfactory and I would stay again for 1-2 nights.

St. Giles is a good city base for anyone wishing to tour London, take in a show and do a bit of shopping. it is a two minute walk from Oxford Street and a well connected tube and bus route. the breakfast in the morning is substantial and will keep you going for the day. staff are friendly and efficient and check in/out is hassle free. the rooms are a bit on the small size but have all modern amenities e.g. tea/coffee making facilities, a safe and hairdryer and given the time spent in them, are comfortable. the only complaint i would have is that a complementary wifi/internet connection is not available - although internet kiosks are located at several points throughout the hotel. That said, there are local coffee shops nearby who offer complementary wi-fi access if it is really required. There is a concierge service and luggage storage facility available and the option of a late check-out for a nominal fee is also available, which is handy for those with later flights/transport connections. While St. Giles wouldn't be in the 'luxury' scale of things, it was comfortable and well situated so overall I would recommend the hotel and would return to it if I were to stay again in London.

Great location, central to the West End. Pleasent staff and clean if a little tired environment, (but the price refected the up keep of the place). Fitness facilities in this location at this price? very welcome and very unusual. Breakfast was mass produced and fairly average but good wide range was available. All in all highly recommended as a fairly cheap option in about as good a location as a tourist could want.

While our stay at the hotel was satisfactory one comment i would have to make is that the hotel rooms are very small indeed.

Fantastic Location, 2mins walk from Tottenham Court Road Tube Station, just over 5min walk into Leicester Square, most theatres within walking distance, some actually on your front door. Breakfast was superb for a buffet, everything that was supposed to be hot was hot and cold items were actually cold! Plenty of fried food along with fruit, breads, cheeses, drinks, juices etc. The staff couldn't have been nicer also, they even checked us in at 11am in the morning when we expected to just be leaving our bags with the consierge and returning later in the day to check in. The rooms were perfect, average size, clean, tea, coffee, tv...only gripe would be that the shower was very small, not a problem for us but could see anyone who was not agile having difficulty getting in and out of this shower. A lovely bar that serves until 2am weeknights and 3am at weekends which is great in London when you've had enough of crowds but just fancy one more for the road! Didn't get to see the swimming pool but heard someone in the bar say that it was grand, think it was a one off payment of 4pounds to use it for your entire stay. I will 100% stay at this hotel and have already recommended it to friends for future stays.

Stayed 2 nights in this hotel, excellent location, room was clean, staff friendly breakfast was very good... The buffet style English fry which was surprisingly good considering the number of people that were staying in the Hotel. I was prepared for noise at night(both from the traffic and guests!!) but we weren't disturbed at all. Would stay there again.

This hotel is clearly geared up for coach parties as reception expects guests to queue up inside a series of roped off areas while waiting for check in. Last time we were greeted in this fashion it was in Butlins! The receptionist struggled to make herself understood and did not complete our check-in adequately as we were later expected to pay for breakfast despite having been charged £103 for a single night's bed and breakfast. When we located our room in the warren of narrow corridors, the dated bedroom was very small, the grungy bathroom was even smaller and the shower minute. One divan bed was uneven, leaving me clinging to the edge while the other was too mobile as the castors rolled at the slightest motion, so my poor husband spent the night with the bed sliding across the floor every time he turned over. The bank of lifts proved inadequate to the predictable high demand in the morning, leaving guests on higher floors to wait for long periods or risk injury trying to negotiate steep staircases with luggage. Breakfast was unappetising in an badly over-crowded, grubby cafeteria - no wonder reception had illuminating signs urging guests to breakfast before 8am! If you want to sit at a clean table, have a reasonable choice of food and eat in peace, then either get there at opening time or eat elsewhere. This is not the worst hotel we have used in London, but it is very poor value and we will not return.

The hotel was very centrally located, very clean and the staff were very helpful. I would recommend it to people and I would definitely stay there again if I go back to London for a visit.

having lost my husband last month my daughter treated me to a London theatre break to try and cheer me up and she picked the st giles hotel as it was within easy reach of all the theatres.the hotel itself was brilliant with en-suite facilities,tv,tea and coffee making facilities also spotlessly clean.also underneath the hotel was a swimming pool and gym but did not have enough time to explore these.the breakfast was also brilliant,I was expecting a roll and jam but everything was laid on from cereal and fruit to full english breakfast.I would diffinately go back to st giles hotel again if I ever go back to London again it was well worth it.

Hotel was very comfortable and the staff were very helpful and welcoming. A hotel I will definitely be visiting again. Oh and did I mention that it is really well located for center of town but no traffic noise.
