The Hampshire Hotel

Have just returned from a 2 night stay at this hotel and really enjoyed it. I booked a twin room for my daughter and myself but on arrival realised we had been given a double room. I complained that this was not what I had booked. There was not a twin room available so they upgraded us to a junior suite over looking Leicester Square. This room was fantastic - so spacious, very clean and a wonderful view. Breakfast was included in our deal and though very good, I wouldn't have paid £19 per person for it. Staff were always helpful and... more

I booked two nights at this hotel for my wife and I and aside from the location (fantastic, right on the square, 2 mins from the tube and walking distance from the theatres) we were disappointed. We booked a superior double room at just under £200 per night, and whilst it was clean, the decor was dated and the room and bathroom were both small. Staff at the desk were friendly but at times, a little too friendly! During each day of our stay, they called the room to ask as 'if everything was okay' - nice at first, but soon became... more

stayed at this hotel in july from the moment we walked in we were impressed friendly welcoming reception staff rooms were bright and airy we booked a standard room very nice but small 14inch tv with only a few channels rooms were newly decorated and modern spacious bathroom the real bonus with this hotel is the location perfect for film premiers at the time we stayed miami vice premier was just outside our room window the nearest tube is literally a two minute walk! take the picadilly line directly from heathrow takes about 50mins to... more

Great location - walkable to most London theatre district attractions, chonatown, oxford street etc. Hotel public areas are nice - hotel rooms are very tired and beaten up. I have stayed at the property more than once - room experience is consistently below what i would expect.

For a weekend stay you just can't beat the location - right in the heart of theatre land which means you don't have to go taxi hunting. Rooms and bathrooms are impressive - make sure you get a room overlooking Leicester Square because it's traffic free which means a very quiet night which must be virtually unique in London. Breakfast was okay, but very pricey, so I'd book a room where it's included in the rate, otherwise go out. It's not worth £19 a head. Lobby and bar are maybe a little small, but staff are all... more

I thought the hotel was characterised by good service with ok facilities in a great area. When I checked in, at first I felt the room was small and it only a had a double bed. What the hell- how big a bed do you need when you are on your own. I was wary of street noise so I requested a quiet room at reception and they assured me that the double glazing kept the noise down. Absolutely true, I had a room overlooking Leicester Square and I can assure you the room was as quiet as any I have stayed in. The aircon was a little noisy.<br... more

I stayed here for four nights during the week of April 23. It was nice and as all have noted, the location is superb. I was traveling on vacation with my sister. We had two twins. The room was big enough, but not large. The bathroom was big enough, but not large. The service was good, but not great. The light in the room was okay, not great. (I had a bit of problems adjusting to the time change so we played Scrabble late at night and the room was fairly lit, but not bright.) I will say that it was very clean, the lobby and bar were... more

Stayed at the Radissson on 20 April with 8 of our salespeople on an incentive trip. Staff were efficient and friendly - much more so than I normally find in London Hotels. Alex the trainee concierge is a gem. Gaves us maps, directions and lowdown on bars around Leicester Square and sheperded our late arrivals around as quickly as possible so that they could join us. We stayed in the superior rooms which in truth were not as superior as would be found in some other upmarket London Hotels - but then the other hotels are not in... more

We have just returned from a wonderful 3 night stay in the Radisson Edwardian Hampshire on Leicester Square - booked as a surprise for my boyfriends birthday. Got a great deal for a classic double room on lastminute(-)and couldn't fault the hotel. I phoned the evening before to request an early check in and when we arrived at 11am our room was ready, we were given an upgrade to a deluxe double room on the 7th floor which had lovely views of the London Eye, Nelsons Column and Big Ben. The room was spacious and comfortable and included... more

Just back from staying 3 nights here on a pleasure break. We arrived the evening of the BAFTA's and immediately regretted not upgrading to a room that over looked Leicester Sq!!! But at the time of booking did't feel the extra cost was justified and we didn't know the BAFTAS were on then...hindsights a great thing! But I still managed to see George Clooney which made up for it!! As previous reviewers have stated, the location is first class and yes the Hotel is expensive for what you get but you are within walking distance of Covent... more
