St Giles London - A St Giles Hotel

We stayed for 2 nights (Wed-Fri). Fabulous hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely room, small but equipped with everything we needed. Clean with a really comfy bed - Good nights sleep had. Breakfast was fabulous (Buffet Style) lots of choice and nice and fresh. It was my birthday (Lovely touch from hotel staff with banner and card) Perfect location with easy access to the tube station. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

2 stars, really — but the location makes me bump it up to 3. If you want a hotel with proper (or even basic) air conditioning, this property is not for you. Our Executive Room never truly comfortably cooled down enough for our entire 4-night stay, and the windows didn’t open enough for useful outdoor ventilation. To the hotel’s credit, our first room was so outrageously hot that they moved us to a different room that was only barely more tolerable. I would stay here again if the air conditioning was properly functional, as our Executive Room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the hotel location is hard to beat. But knowing now how hot the rooms were would make me look elsewhere the next time my travels take me to London. Fix the AC and I’d gladly stay here again.

Stayed here for the past 5 days! It was clean and has very considerate staff. I enjoyed being greeted and chatting in the morning by the man working the buffet! The lobby staff are very kind. As when I had lost my key and inquired about a later check out hour, they were  quick to help and informative. The concierge is also a plus, as the check out times don't always align with flights. It is a convenient service and he was friendly. The central location is great, with many close restaurants and shopping. The hotel is also just a short walk to the Tottenham Court underground entrance.
My only complaint is the rooms do not get dark enough at night as there was no curtain in the single twin rooms. There is only blinds. Otherwise, the rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms are sleek. I enjoyed my stay here at the St. Giles Hotel.

I’ve stayed at this hotel before in the regular small rooms. They’re decent value for money this centrally. This time we upgraded to the executive king bed room and I can’t recommend anyone doing that. We spent a lot more money on basically the same space. I suppose there was a couple of square meters more to the room but due to the layout and furniture it’s practically unusable. Also the seating section is so cramped it is best used for storage space. All in all this was disappointing due to the extra cost for a room of this type. The view from floor 7 did not make up for it. Bathroom is old and worn as is the interior of the rest of the room. Bed not great for comfort. Also be aware that you’ll usually spend 5-10 minutes waiting for elevators to arrive. Might be better to have a room lower down and use the stairs.
