Great location, clean and tidy hotel. Room was slightly small but to be expected for the price and location. Staff very helpful and friendly.

We stayed at the Cavendish Hotel in London with my family. We were pleased with our hotel stay. The breakfast service was great and was served as a buffet. Especially, the location of the hotel was wonderful.

From the moment we arrived, our stay was nothing short of exceptional—but what truly stood out was the incredible hospitality from the staff, especially Vanessa. A big shoutout to her for going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, including helping us get some special amenities during our stay. To top it all off, she surprised us with a beautifully handwritten card that added such a thoughtful and personal touch. It’s rare to find that level of genuine care, and it made our experience all the more memorable. Can’t wait to come back!

This hotel is just fab. Went for our honeymoon night and stayed in the penthouse suite with the balcony. The bed was so great that we wanted to take it home. The bathroom was big enough to sleep a family of four in, with lovely toiletries. The lounge area opened onto a balcony with fabulous views of the city - especially at night. The staff were just brilliant and could not do enough for us - everyone from housekeeping to reception to the restaurant staff were great. Alasandrassa (?) at Reception worked some miracles for us and we're really grateful to her for making, and not breaking, our honeymoon. Thank you everyone. A most definite recommendation to stay if in London. Lovely location.

Great location, nice spacious rooms. It's a little pricey, but not unrealistic for this part of London. Staff were excellent across all aspects. Reception, concierge, car valet, room service. Breakfast was superb, the only thing I'd change about breakfast is the bacon. They use streaky bacon, just cooked, it's better crispy. Or better still English back bacon is a better choice. (I'm ex breakfast chef) Thistle hotels. Overall a really nice stay and I'd visit and stay again for Theatre shows.

What a birthday treat. My line of work takes me through hotel stays but this was a stay with a difference. The decor, the reception and service was amazing. Friendly and helpful staff to make your stay as enjoyable. Great location to see London in a different eye. I will absolutely recommend to anyone to give Cavendish London hotel a visit. Worth every penny
