The Mountbatten Hotel

this was a very last minute decision to stay in central London on new year's eve and I was expecting the normal irritations - problem with booking, unfriendly staff, tiny room, noisy etc. Am delighted to say I experienced NONE of this at the Radisson Edwardian! I arrived late afternoon and the reception/check in staff were friendly and efficient. My room was lovely - a big single bed by anyone's standards, a furry comforter which was very comforting, good size clean bathroom and huge heavy drapes which helped to shut out the city noise and... more

Don't be put off by some of the poor reviews, this hotel isn't that bad and has one of the best locations in covent garden. We stayed from 29th-31st December, double room on the 3rd floor. The rooms are small but when staying in central London you have to ask yourself how long you intend to stay in your hotel room!. The hotel is right in the middle of the theatre district with most shows within 10minutes walk we saw Mary Poppins (5 mins walk) and The Lion King (10 mins walk), coupled with being only 5 minutes from the tube stations at either... more

The one thing that the hotel can do nothing about is its only strength - its location We booked at the last minute and booked an upgraded room. When we checked in (at the second attempt - when we first turned up they did not have our booking), the room was little more than a converted cupboard - we could not even lay our small cases on the floor. The ceiling was low and the aircon/heating oppresively loud. The "curtain" harldy kept out any light. When we pointed out the mistake, reception thought of a thousand excuses not to sort... more

Stayed overnight in this hotel mid week. Excellent central location although offered a twin room when paid for a deluxe. Was up on the 7th floor and was annoyed all night by the noise of a large generator. Ear plugs are a must! The breakfast offered was excellent and there is a nice bar within the hotel (although vodka is overpriced and over-iced).

I am a frequent traveller and have stayed in the Mountbatten many times due to its excellent location. What I dont like is the constant attempt to overcharge. I recently stayed in a Standard Room and paid the amount that is normally charged for a Suite or a Deluxe Room. Please make sure that you are getting the room and the value you are paying for.

Selected this particular hotel because of its location. Situated 5 Mins walk from Leicester Sq its an ideal base for seeing the sights and theatreland. The rooms are quite small yet well appointed and very clean, many thanks to Fatima for our room service. Check in and out was swift, and all staff were very polite and pleasant well worth a visit

An excellent base for sight seeing everywhere theatres etc. within a short walk. Staff were friendly beyond the call of duty. Would certainly stay again. Highly recommended

I spent a long weekend in London over the Labor Day weekend wiih my sister giving her some brotherly support (breakup, tears, etc., etc.) and wanted to find a place near Covent Garden & SoHo; I correctly thought that a lively 'hood might cheer her up. Boy, did I choose correctly! The Mountbatten is in the PERFECT neighborhood (Seven Dials) for shopping, theater, music, dance, museums, restaurants....so near Covent Garden, Leicester Square and the afore-mentioned SoHo that we hardly used the Underground or taxis. The neighborhood itself... more

We booked this on londontown.com it was a secret hotel booking, I must admit when the name was confirmed I was worried given the amount of poor reviews in here but I needn't have worried. Great Location, clean & modern, yes rooms & bathrooms are small to be expected in central london & in London your out most of the time anyway. (de-luxe rooms may be bigger but for the extra expense is it worth it!) We paid £95 a night Tax included which given london hotel prices is great, you could pay the same for a crappy 2 star. ?Having said that... more

The room was lovely albeit small but hey it was comfortable.Concierge were very helpful.breakfast was good unfortunately we were busy eating out did not sample the dinner.
