Haymarket Hotel

I stayed at the hotel while on a business trip. The location of the hotel is excellent right next to the Haymarket theatre and opposite the Her Majesty's Theatre which is running Phantom of the Opera. The entrance to the hotel is discreet. Its newly renovated with all the newest amenities. Being a botique hotel, it uses contemporary design. Rooms are spacious with a huge bathroom. In room wireless internet access is very expensive. The hotel has a very large swimming pool. It also has a rather small fitness centre in a 10 feet x... more

I travel on a frequent basis and admit to being a fussy hotel stayer. Past stays have included a range from George V through to Le Tousserok so I expect high standards. This was my second stay at The Haymarket and as per usual they exceeded all expectations. The hotel is beautifully designed, and those who comment an Art Gallery obviously fail to appreciate their ethos of bringing good design into a hospitality space. The mix of the historical facade and the furnishings throughout are a complete success. The hotel has a vibe... more

We love the Firmdale hotels in London - Soho, Charlotte St, Covent Garden, Knightsbridge - but Haymarket is not a hotel, it's an art museum. Great to look around and oooh and ahh about the design, but not great to stay in. Kit Kemp has gone one hotel too far. Bar and restaurant are totally overlooked by spotty, pasty faced tourists and autograph hunters who loiter around waiting for celebs to exit Her Majesty's Theatre. Please! Weird public areas designed for conventions rather than me. I didn't feel cared for here, not like... more

My husband and I have just returned from a very enjoyable stay at the Haymarket Hotel. We had a deluxe double room facing Suffolk Place so it was very quiet. The room was beautifully furnished and large, it was also very bright and airy, the bathroom had a plasma T.V. inset into the wall over the bath, if you like that sort of thing. My husband ordered flowers as it was our anniversary and the manager was kind enough to send us complimentary champagne which we enjoyed before going to dinner. The only quibble I would... more

We needed a hotel near Leicester Square as we were invited to the Pre-screenig of the New Harry Potter on 24th June at 9.00am. We booked 2 rooms, and the reservations desk was very helpful.We all agreed the hotel is beautiful, the decor lovely and the rooms spacious and well-designed. The pool area is stunning to look at and everyone seemed very friendly. These are the good points. Now the bad...The service was poor especially in the restaurant. We booked a table for 8 for 8 o'clock. I explained we had our 6 year old with us and we... more

It is always a gamble staying at a new hotel but this one paid off. The hotel is in the heart of the West End and yet was perfectly quiet.The rooms are a good size with a great bathroom albeit without a bath! A large powerful shower was fine. The bedding was crisp and as good as anything i have ever encountered. The staff were attentive and a last minute request for a rollaway was met without fuss. A proferred tip was refused-they were just doing their job i was told. Highly recommended.

Up to date and stylish room. One of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. Great fixtures. Excellent location.

Had a great dinner in 'Brumus' the hotel's restaurant which faces directly opposite Her Majesty's Theatre...my bedroom was fabulous and the bathroom enormous...on the day I stayed Posh and Becks were also in house....what more can one say! The pool is spectacular and if you can take a peek at the Shooting Gallery..it's stunning! The hotel's a winner in my book!

The Haymarket Hotel is really the 'greatest hits' of the Firmdale group, owned by Kit Kemp. This place has all their design trademarks: lots of pattern, art, wallpaper, quirky furniture and decent materials. It opened 10 days ago, though clearly there is more work to do. We checked in and were disappointed to be told that the fabulous swimming pool was not open. Our room was upgraded from superior to luxury which seemed a nice gesture...though the room was on the 3rd floor with funny slot windows. There was no double glazing so you really... more

I am a huge fan of the Firmdale hotels and love the Covent Garden Hotel in particular. Unfortunately the CG was fully booked and so I was directed to the Haymarket which is the newest member of the group and had been open a mere 48 hours. First, the positives - there is no doubt it has been beautifully and elegantly designed and furnished. The location is also fantastic. However, there are some serious problems. The many staff who greeted us every time we were in a public space were universally ineffectual. Worse still they were... more
