I took my daughter to London for five days as a college graduation present. Middle Eight was an incredible place to stay. The staff is super helpful, the room was extremely comfortable and the location can't be beat. It's near everything, the National Gallery, theaters(we went every night), St. Paul's church, the Thames. We were able to walk so many places. We will stay there again next time we're in the city.

We stayed here as we were going to the theatre. The staff were very friendly. We were offered a complimentary glass of prosecco or a soft drink on arrival. Check in was smooth. The delux room was excellent. The decor was lovely, there was enough space and a sofa too. Everything was very clean. Tea and coffee provided with a little bottled milk in the fridge. Ordered room service in the morning and it was very prompt. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very poor value Middle Eight Hotel - Garden London

I recently stayed at the Middle Eight Hotel - Garden London, choosing this location for its convenience and the apparent plushness based on their website. I was willing to pay extra for a better experience, but sadly, my stay fell far short of expectations. Upon arrival, the reception was welcoming and professional, which was a positive start. However, my experience quickly declined. I paid €414 for a one-night stay, expecting a decent-sized room. Instead, I was allocated a very small room with a tiny bed and a window that overlooked some serviced ducts in a service yard, which was disappointing. I asked at reception if I could be moved to a larger room. I was shown an upgrade option, but it came with an additional charge of £100 (approximately €120), which I found unreasonable given what I had already paid. The upgrade room wasn't much bigger, but I accepted because the first room was far too small. Additionally, I was told the mini-bar was complimentary, but it only contained milk, which was not particularly useful. The did bring 3 small bottles of Coje and 1 bottle of beer on request. Since I had an early flight the next day, I requested a late check-out to shower before leaving. This request cost another £80 (roughly €100), adding to my overall disappointment with the value received, however I was thankful to avail of this service. Overall, this stay was a major letdown. I dont mind paying good money for a good product in retur

From the moment I walked into the Middle Eight, I was treated as a VIP. The gorgeous lobby, the friendly and professional hospitality staff really made me understand why Middle Eight is designated as a luxury hotel. The room was lovely and comfortable. The dining room staff were quick and thoughtful, and the breakfast just right. Everything was superb. I will be back next week. Thank you all.
