The Soho Hotel

Came to the hotel for the film club. The hotel in general was really nice. Price for the film only option (no brunch) was £15 so not that much more than your average cinema ticket but this private cinema is significantly nicer. Comfortable clean leather seating, no adverts and free popcorn. A must do!

An A-​OK affordable afternoon tea in central London. I’m marking it up to four stars for the beautiful setting and slightly confusing quirky décor. Tartan chairs, arty lamps and a bookshelf of old paint cans? Not sure what it was trying to be but either way I liked it!
The servers deal well with large groups and dietary reqs, and we were a party of 11 for a friend’s hen do. For £25.50 we got a full afternoon tea with a bellini (sans bellini was £22.50 and a champers upgrade was £30). As you’d expect for such decent tea prices for central London, you don’t get free refills as you might do elsewhere.
There’s more than enough food to keep you going though. I surprised myself by really enjoying the savoury layer when I’m usually all about the sugar. The sandwiches of salmon and coronation chicken were well-​made, and teamed with a ham and piccalilli slider and mini leek and gruyère quiche. This is where I would’ve asked for refills! The scones were tasty, if a little overbaked, and we definitely had to ask for extra clotted cream. The cakes were all fine though none really stood out for me.
Not the highest quality food i’ve had at tea then but you get what you pay for — it does the job and in a lovely setting. Feels like a tea better suited for groups as we were given the lively dining room, rather than a particularly intimate or indulgent one.

A more comfortable bed you cannot find. The rooms are spacious, cozy and filled with amenities. Staff are accommodating and friendly and the location can’t be beat. This will forever be my go-​to hotel in London as I can’t say enough good things about it.

Such a lovely venue for speaking engagements.
The set up — and there are three — is not unlike a stadium seating cinema-​lecture hall hybrid. Clean, modern and cozy.

Best cityhotel ever: great service, spacy rooms, good bed, best breakfast ever and everybody smiles! I would go to London just to stay in this hotel!

Came here for afternoon tea. Now… I like an afternoon tea me, I’ve been to a few around the town. This one focuses more on its pastries and deserts then it’s sandwiches I would say but it was lovely.
I had a nice early grey tea and I must say the scones where AMAZING and fresh like they’d just come out the oven from a bake. I also like that they give you one each of raisin and non raisin. They were very yummy, Light and fluffy!
What was really nice was there was a little mix up with out booking so they catered for us and gave us a little special treat sh oh was very nice of them.
The décor is nice, modern and I quite like that it’s off the beaten track of soho.
If you’re around the soho area, want afternoon tea in a chilled relaxed casual vibe and also decent price! (£22.50 p/​p) then Soho Hotel is a great shout.

Basing this review on the two occasions that I’ve used the screening room. First off, the seats are very comfortable and the sound system is good.
Because of the size of the screen compared to the number of seats, there probably isn’t a terrible seat in the house. My only complaint is that there isn’t anywhere to put a drink and both times I’ve been there someone has had to rush in to clean up a wine glass that has been kicked over.
Certainly the best hotel screening room I’ve been to.

Came here for breakfast on numerous occasions during my stay in London and was very pleased with the service, ambiance, and of course, the food!
There’s always tables available which makes it convenient for breakfast or even high tea. I haven’t had dinner here but I’m sure it’s just as good as the breakfast.

We loved this hotel, the only bit we didn’t like was checking out to come home.
Certainly not a cheap nights accommodation, but wow, everything was amazing, we landed an upgrade to one of the superior rooms.
The size of the room was impressive, even with a large walk in wardrobe.
Quite frankly i was loathe to leave the room, the furnishings were plush, the bathroom with twin sinks, a huge tub and spacious shower was great.
The bed was massive and gave a good nights sleep.
The room itself was exceptionally clean, but i guess thats what you get at this price.
Everything you could ever need was in the room, they evened catered for the wet climate with an umbrella matching the colour of the room.
The mini bar was reasonably priced in comparison to some of the hotels we’ve stayed in but in no way cheap.
We didn’t eat in the restaurant as it was a little too rich for us price wise, but seemed very popular and busy.

I guess they only reason they get 4 stars is because the gym was closed when I was there. Otherwise they would get 5 stars.

I was only here for a brief amount of time for a work related event in technology in the basement but i found this spot to have a combination of cool/​trendy but also a sense of proper furnishings and beautiful atmosphere.
I definitely want to check out the hotel bar when I am in Soho for fun with the hubs!

Great screening rooms here for corporate events, very comfortable atmosphere and super furnishings in the communal areas and bars make for a very pleasant place to have a few drinks.

When you’re paying an eye watering £100 a head for a fancy meal you don’t expect:
a. for the place to be so understaffed that you need to keep beckoning a waiter to remind them of your drinks order
b. for the chateubriand for two to be dry and average
c. there isn’t a ‘c’ but it was £100!!! — and I’ve had a lot better
I think there are so many better restaurants that are much more reasonably priced in soho which is why they get 2 stars. it just wasn’t amazing enough. i’ve been to gastro pubs where the food was better and less than half the price. the waiters weren’t attentive enough either. it just wasn’t special and i will not be going back (except to visit the bar where the cocktails are pretty amazing).

Gosh, the chairs are nice aren’t they? They really, really are.

A bit pricey, though what you’d expect with such a great location. The hotel is well designed, but not over the top or trying too hard. My room was generously sized, quiet, and very comfortable with lots of natural light. Service was generally good, though I had a couple vendor snafus. I sent off some pants which were ruined at their dry cleaner, fortunately I had the receipt for the pants and the hotel reimbursed me fully without a fight. Also on checkout I had booked a car through the hotel but it didn’t show up. The concierge kept saying 5 minutes, but after 15 minutes I opted for cab instead. Even with those two misfires I’d still stay here again.

I came here for a very fun Afternoon Tea with the girls to
celebrate a dear friends hen do The Soho Hotel has managed to tuck itself
away within the absolute heart of W1 I later learned you can gain access two
ways, the quickest from my home was to run across Oxford Street, down Wardour past an old familiar pub that I must have
walked past a million times in the last 23 years with my head in the clouds as I
was completely unaware of the small Mews that runs to the side of it which you
must enter to gain access to this building! It felt a bit like entering Narnia or Diagon
Alley as once you step past the pub all the chaos and hustle bustle of hectic
Soho seems to magically disappear and the dirt and grime of the weather worn
streets suddenly turns into a modern, clean, contemporary utopia that leads to
a large glass front. The door was opened for me and led directly into the restaurants
well-​oiled front of house desk who directed me to where I needed to be. As I
walked through past the bar and restaurant it struck me as a cheery, chattering,
light and relaxed room to be lunching or drinking inThe room we were to use ran adjacent to the entrance.
All the ground floor seems to have floor to ceiling windows that let light stream
in making even the dullest day seem sunnier. It was a select gaggle of girls some of us
new to each other others old friends of almost 20 years. We caught up on gossip and news while
reclining on large, deep, comfortable sofas in a spacious, colourful drawing room
set up that had a wonderful mix of the traditional, modern and somewhat bizarre
with glass domed cake stands displaying knitted cupcakes that looked good enough
to eat, a painting that I liked very much and a life-​size pagan looking bronze
of a very curvy woman. As it was a hen do we decided cocktails should
be brought immediately. Throughout the afternoon we were served by two very
fun, rather hot waiters who bent over backwards to make everything go well and
very sportingly put up with our teasing and tipsy demands. I ordered a favourite
of mine a Dirty Martini that arrived quickly and in a reassuringly weighty
cocktail glass (I hate those cheap rice paper thin ones that don’t seem to
balance properly well when held by the stem) It was mixed very well indeed. As some in the group were wheat intolerant (and
I was staying away from bread that day) we had a choice of regular or wheat
free afternoon tea (you had to pre-​book the wheat free so don’t just turn up expecting
to be able to get it) As expected you had a great choice of teas
I opted for my favourite Earl Grey but others chose less obvious and more
exciting names one of which I had never heard of before! Then tea arrived Wow what an absolute
feast! There were savouries goodies including prawns wrapped in lettuce
leaves, a selection of sandwiches which were surprisingly good for wheat frees
(not as dry as usual) and the cakes and jellies and what free scones with
outrageous amounts of double cream and jam plus many more temptations were
amazing.

I LOVED our stay here. It was beautifully comfortable, classic but updated English style, with great attention to detail. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful… they even gave me tape and a huge roll of bubble wrap to pack some art we had bought.
I usually prefer modern and minimal décor, but this was delightful… even loved all the pink.
And, as someone who worked for IKEA for 15 years… trust me, this place DOES NOT even remotely resemble IKEA, as stated by Sheila P… one of the reviewers here. Utter nonsense.
We had breakfast here, and it was delish, and even dinner one night, when we were too tired to walk anywhere, and that was great too.
We are fortunate enough to have had many great hotel experiences, and this one measured up. I’m not that easy to impress, and I thought it was great.

So, I took the wifey on our first trip to London and Paris.
This review is coming from a dude who doesn’t mind the smokey motel 6 for 39 bucks a night. Hey, I like keepin it real. But, ever since I married jet-​setting, frequent flier mile gatherin, travel savvy wifey, I can look at hotels from her perspective.
Our first stop was the Soho Hotel. Our taxi drove us through a neighborhood full of theatres and bars which were bustling despite the post Robert Green fiasco. We took a left into a alley lined with brick office buildings. At the end of the alley, we saw a crowd of teenie-​boppers hovering over one of the actors from «Glee».
«Whoah» I said to myself, «how much is the bill going to be?» I looked over to my wife and smiled lovingly. «This place is going to be nice.» I said to her.
We were brought to our room which was nicely decorated. My wife had a thing for the guy in the suit, and told me to tip him. Ok, I know it was actually for his help with our luggage, but part of me knew that it was because he was attractive.
Anyhoo, the bed was super comfy, the room service food was reasonable (as room service prices go– 22 pounds for an entrée isn’t too bad), and the bathroom was pretty large.
The concierge was awesome. It was in the detail and extra helpful information that we appreciated. We wanted to try the «local fare» and were directed to a fish n chips place which was excellent– they also recommended that we not eat fish n chips on a Monday because the fish wouldn’t be fresh. Upon asking them directions to the British Museum they even highlighted the items to look for («aside from the Rosetta Stone, look for the oldest chess set, etc, etc»)
Ok, so I have to say, it was a wonderful experience in London– especially because of this hotel.
We’ll certainly come back here again!

While the prices are comprable to The Dorchester & 41, The service is not. In my opinion this is not a 5 star hotel and it is a tad bit overpriced ($ 500 a night).
Sure the staff are nice and check in and check out easy, but for the price this place looks like it was decorated by IKEA! It is supposed to be hip and trendy but to me it looked cheap and tacky.
The breakfast was okay nothing memorable. The rooms are bit small for the price you are paying. If you have the money and this is your kinda place, hit it up… for me not so much.

Like most of the other reviewers I haven’t actually stayed at the Soho Hotel. Having only visited it during the daytime so far I can’t comment on the bar either.
I absolutely love the way it is done up — they did an amazing job on a really difficult (and mainly dark) building.
I was given a gift voucher for the spa a few years ago and enjoyed the best massage I have ever had. The location in the basement isn’t all that great, but you forget all about it once you are in one of the treatment rooms being pampered.
Saving up for a follow up — as it’s not exactly bargain basement
