Top Criterion Theatre Hotel Reviews

St. James' Court, A Taj Hotel, London

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Luxury hotel! First class! Highly recommend purchasing the breakfast selection was well worth it!"

Royal National Hotel

8/10 Good

"Huge hotel with great check-in time"

Mimi's Hotel Soho

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and very helpful staff"

Club Quarters Hotel Trafalgar Square, London

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience, full breakfast buffet."

Page8, Page Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"It was super easy to check in! Staff was very friendly and helpful. We booked a regular room and the huge windows were fantastic! Rooms are larger than your average European ones."

Victory House Leicester Square

8/10 Good

"The hotel is perfectly positioned right on the edge of Leicester Square, perfect for theatre land and shopping the rooms were clean and well appointed but OMG was it noisy. First night of our stay the base of the music was bouncing until 4am, then the bin wagon appeared to empty the bottle bins. At reception they offered to move our rooms (we had 2) and told us there was a casino and strip club next door and that’s the sound was coming from. We didn’t move but I did go and invest in a decent set of ear plugs for the second night. It’s a real shame as the hotel it’s self was fabulous other than that."

Moxy London Piccadilly Circus

8/10 Good

"What amenities? There's basically self-service and not much staff to help with check-in assistance. The room was not 100% turned around and replenished."

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

8/10 Good

"My first two nights I was in an older room. There wasn’t even a coffee pot that was a bit of a bummer. Lots of noise and construction going on all night long the rooms without air-conditioning. You have to open up the window so it’s very noisy. Cute little bar and café on site. I moved to another room for two more nights, and that was a much better room higher up with air-conditioning bigger and worth the extra cost. With all that being said, it’s all about location, location, location, and this one has it. There’s a Mark and Spencer‘s right across the street shopping pharmacy and all the food restaurants, pubs, music, plays and comedy clubs all a 10 minute walk."
