Grange Fitzrovia Hotel

The Grange Fitzrovia was good value for money compared with other places in the area; it came in at £75 for the night. The room was nice and big, very clean (decor was a little bit dated though), staff were very friendly and helpful at check-in and check-out. The hotel is set back from the oxford st area and getting there is a very pleasant 5 minute walk, lots of little restaurants and bars on the way.

Stayed at the Grange Fitzrovia in December 2006. Hotel was a bit dated but staff were friendly. Biggest concern was that I was woken up in the middle of the night with bed bugs all over me! I ran down to the reception where they did not really understand my concerns until I took them to the room and showed them my little friends! In defence of the hotel they did move me asap and get the problem sorted in the morning. I have to give this hotel a bit of a rubish rating as I've stayed at hotels in London for years and this is the... more

Stayed here as part of a combo deal with a theatre trip. The location isn't overly great if you're looking to go to the theatres in Leicester Square etc. as the nearest tube station is Great Portland Street and its a bit of a trek getting from there to Leicester Square, Covent Garden etc. I suppose you could always walk down to Oxford Street and go from there, but even that is a bit of a walk. The hotel has a very 'mahogany' theme to it! I thought it was quite nice as it was different. Bed was nice and comfortable and the shower... more

Stayed a Saturday night 2007. It was OK, but nothing special. The hotel has an old fashioned feel, lots of dark wood and heavy curtains in dark reds. But even checking in the reception looks run down with a shabby old in-tray on the desk. The glass and brass lift should be impressive but is covered in hand prints and needs a jolly good buffing. The double room was quite small, long and thin. Great if you like the old mahogany look, with Grandmas dark carpet etc. Bed- a double- felt small. TV too far from bed to bother... more

We stayed at the Fitzrovia quite by accident--we got stuck at Heathrow during the recent terrorist threat and the airport booked us at Fitzrovia. We were further discouraged when our cabbie got lost and told us he'd never heard of it. To our surprise, it was a lovely little hotel tucked into a residential/office neighborhood. Although we appeared to be far from the touristy sections, a walk showed we were within a few blocks of two different tube stations. A block away was a street full of family owned restaurants, a launderette,... more

After having stayed at the wonderful Grange City Hotel, we were disappointed with the Grange Fitzrovia hotel which was the same price. Arriving at the hotel, there was no ramp for your bags so you had to carry them up steps. The lobby was small and a tiny desk. The hotel refused to use the credit card that I pre-paid and pre-booked online with since we didn't have the physical card, so I had to use a different card. After getting to the room, we were surprised at the tiny and old-looking room. For some, the look may be appealing as... more

myself and some friends stayed at the grange fitzrovia for 2 nights. the hotel is in a quiet street and our rooms faced the back of the building and was very quiet. the decor around the hotel was nice and the room was nice, although we booked a triple room, which was really just a twin with a camp bed added, not very comfy for an adult. the addition of the extra bed meant there wasn't much room for 3 adults to move around. the bathroom was lovely with 2 sinks and bright mirrors. the service in the hotel was not up to... more

My husband and I were tired and would have settled for just a bed and bathroom. Imagine our surprise to find our room with coordinating bedspread and drapes, beautifully tiled bathroom, and even a cute little cabinet with tea making stuff! Just what one needs after a busy cold day doing the tourist thing! The room was very quiet, and the desk people were extremely helpful. We had a sufficient choice of breakfast food every day (the English Breakfast is an added expense you should skip). There are 2 little grocery stores near the tube... more

Booked a 'double room' which was very small and badly kept, with cracked walls and cracks in the ceiling, peeling paint, broken furniture etc. The bed was very small, not a full sized double. The tv was broken, there were cigarette butts all over the window sill, no hot water for a shower in the morning, and the breakfast buffet was understaffed with the result that I had to wait ages just for a bread roll and jam. The reception staff were arrogant and unhelpful. The only good thing about this hotel really is its location but if you... more

I've always used Grange Holborn when visiting London but as this was just a brief one night trip and we wouldn't have time to use the leisure facilities i thought i'd give the cheaper Grange Fitzrovia a try. Glad i did. Much as you can't fault the Holborn it's hard to believe that for one night this hotel is only £70 (compared to the £115 i'd normally pay). As soon as you walk in you can see the similarity in the fixtures, fittings and decor though this is an older, more traditional hotel. Even the bathrooms (if slightly more worn)... more
