The Fielding

Great location, very close to shops, grocery and hustle and bustle of Covent garden. Yet it’s located on a quaint and quiet side street. Rooms are well maintained, staff are very kind and hospitable. 24 hour desk open. Most importantly, the bathroom is very clean and modern. Great price for location, will definitely recommend to others.

Stayed here for one night this week and was very impressed. The hotel is reasonably priced, not the cheapest around but not prohibitively expensive, and I think it’s great value given the location. It’s not the most luxurious hotel, but it’s definitely comfortable enough for a few nights. It’s tucked away on a side street by Covent Garden and I was impressed by how quiet it was for the middle of London.
Check in was fine and the staff at the desk were friendly. I’m not a huge fan of having to leave the key when you go out, but that’s not a massive issue. The stairs to the upper floors are quite narrow, so I imagine some people might have trouble navigating them. I was offered assistance with my bag which was nice.
Our room wasn’t huge, but there was enough to space, and the bed was lovely and big. The bathroom was also quite compact but nicely done out with plenty of toiletries provided. I also thought the bedroom was nicely decorated.
The only 2 complaints I have are; the pillows were weird (one normal, one foam block?!), and the room was a bit stuffy. However I would happily stay here again and would recommend it to others.

Quiet little hotel in Covent Garden. I’m on business trips to High Holborn quite often and really love staying in the Fielding Hotel. Yes, it’s small with (mostly) tiny rooms and narrow corridors. Yes, it’s a little old-​fashioned. Yes, it’s dark green inside. But hey, it’s a nice and convenient hotel that has everything I need on a business trip: A safe and tidy and quiet place to sleep, reasonably priced (especially for London!). As said, the Fielding Hotel might look and feel a little old-​fashioned, but it has its own charm. Definitely not the place to impress business partners, hold conferences (they don’t have conference rooms) or spend your holidays. But I’d rather stay here than in an anonymus concrete bunker with a spa, it’s special. The owner is constantly improving the quality of the rooms and hotel in general and the staff is always very helpful and friendly, not just for returning visitors. I like it.

Great hotel with friendly staff
In a nice location away from the riff-​raff
The rooms were large with flat screen TVs
And all the beds were large and comfy as I could see
The shower had pressure and heat
And getting lots of free toiletries was very neat.
Good hotel, would stay again
Good luck and amen

I had a hell of a time trying to find affordable accommodations in the heart of London, and that was 2005! Luckily, The Fielding’s rates have only slightly increased in the last four years (then: 80 pounds; now: 90 pounds for a verysmall single room with a toilet and shower). But for a gal traveling by herself to London for the first time, and knowing no one, it was a great central location for almost everything I wanted to do and see: museums, restaurants, pubs, cafes, sightseeing. Within walking distance or a short jaunt on the Tube you have Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Soho, Oxford Street, the Thames, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace. Westminster Abbey, the Tate Modern… Before I arrived in London, the proprietor gave me walking directions from the nearest Tube station, and Covent Garden is on a direct route to /​from Heathrow — a welcome blessing for my airplane-​swollen feet.
Pluses: the hotel is tucked away in a beautiful old building in a beautiful part of town, utterly walkable by day and early evening, and near everything a first-​timer might want to see. The windows overlook a stunning stone courtyard. While the rooms are not anything to write home about, they’re very clean and cheap, by London standards, and the desk clerk was always friendly.
Minuses: Tiny stairways made getting my luggage up to the 5^th floor quite an acrobatic feat — luckily I packed light. From time to time, especially late at night on the weekends, the areas abutting Covent Garden can turn into the zone of the debauched teenage riot. Oh, it’s probably harmless — just lots of swearing and breaking bottles and sweaty young people acting like wankers — but not my scene, to be certain. The biggest minus, however, is that the «real» nightlife in London — the stuff of legend — is far from the heart of tourist London — nary a warehouse rave in sight from theater row.

I stayed here a couple of years ago when visiting family in London. It is on a lamp lit Street which added to the quaintness of it. The staff were really freindly and helpful. The room was very comfortable and clean. It is very central to Covent Garden and is just across from the Royal Opera House. When I go back I will definitely be staying here again
