Good hotel on a nice location

The hotel and the room were very nice, the only remark we had was that the room was very hot and we couldn't get it cooler, so sleep was hard to find. Location is perfect, all the great areas of London (parliament houses, Buckingham Palace, but also Covent Garden and Soho) are within walking distance! We only missed a bar in the hotel for a nightcap, but that is being build, I think.

great position

very central hotel in a beautiful old building but with modern comfortable rooms. Only faults were very limited supplies of coffee,tea and milk in room and that for the price I would have expected continental breakfast at least to be included

Very Comfortable Hotel

We had a very comfortable night in The Grand. Check-In & Check-out automated and very easy. Guest lockers are on each floor where you can help yourself to aditional packs of tea cofee, additional blankets etc and iron & ironing board. The room itself was clean and functional, no bath in our room but was a very good shower. This hotel could not be better situated 25 meters from Trafalger Square and from that point alone it was good value for money. Overall a very good hotel and we will definately be returning

Great position and hotel was pretty good but not fantastic

A minor gripe -the duvet was rough and so heavy it kept dragging down off the end of the bed. There was 1 VERY soft pillow each, although additional pillows were available on request. Other than this all was fine. The hotel is 2mins from Charing Cross underground. We were wowed by the foyer - marble, wood panelling in the main parts & fresh flowers in the foyer. There's a traditional wood panelled library with computers, magazines & newspapers(not sure if this was only for Club Quarters visitors - both The Grand and Club Quarters share the hotel, they have separate receptions - & the library said Club Quarters members only, but even though we were staying with The Grand everything was headed "Club Quarters".) A nice touch is the water dispenser next to the lift on each floor with bottles so you can take chilled water and ice chips with you for the day. The hotel is in an excellent position for the theatre, a 5 min walk to Haymarket & Leicester Square & an easy 10min stroll to Buckingham Palace. There is no restaurant at present, but the Obiza bar/restaurant is next door and you can access it from the hotel. You'll also find a Prezzo and a Garfunkels within 20 metres - literally! Room service is available from Obiza, and there are arrangements for you to order from 2 local restaurants, charged to your room bill (with the usual room service surcharge of around £3.) For position and price, I think pretty much you'd be hard pushed to beat it!

Great value for money

Just a one night stay for two of us. Everything about the room was excellent. Being a few yards from Trafalgar Square made it very convenient but there was some traffic noise.

Convenient comfortable and good value

We checked in via the automatic terminals and were in our room within 5 minutes of entering the hotel. Apart from some difficulty getting the lift to accept our key card, we found the hotel quiet (despite its close proximity to Trafalgar Square) and also our room spacious,clean very comfortable and had all the facilities I'd expect (eg internet, satellite TV, a microwave and mini bar). Staff were very helpful in helping us locate local places. Breakfast was slightly basic and a little expensive at the attached small bistro. I would definitely come back, I expect I'd go round the corner to one of the local cafes for breakfast though.

Hotel was in an excellent location just seconds away from the tube station

The hotel is situated in one of the most central parts of london and just seconds away from the tube station. You have some of the most famous attractions on your doorstep in walking distance. The rooms were modern and comfortable and the bathroom facilities met my high expectations. We were also offered the option of leaving our bags in a safe holding on our day of check out which proved invaluable as carrying your luggage around central london is perhaps not the most fun. Overall a great hotel with customer satisfaction at the forefront.
