At The Station

The Charing Cross is an old railroad hotel that has recently received an extensive and expensive renovation. The rooms are stylishly modern with almost every amenity (heated bathroom floors and towel rack, flat screen tv and free hi power wi-fi. They are cleary going green here. The bathroom even has a night light so you don't need to keep it;s lights on all night. One problem though, the bath room mirrors are insufficiently lighted. a lighted ,magnified shaving/makeup mirror is need. Great Location!

Charing Cross

In short, it is a great hotel. The staff is helpful. The hotel is beautiful. The location can't be beat. But the value leaves something to be desired. It is basically an al a carte treatment. Nothing is included except the bed and shower. If you need or want anything else, you have to pay for it.

Charing cross hotel

This hotel was in a great location close to the train station (under ground) restaurants all over walking distance to museums bars & night clubs. But the hotel lobby and hallways has a terrible smell like dirty socks the decor was dark and gloomy the room was very small for $300 a night and had a very dated bathroom the shower sucked & had half of a glass door so after every shower their was a huge pond on the bathroom Floor the sink was falling apart & needed a serious upgrade. The hotel was not at all worth the money.

Great location with average room experience

It is a great location hotel with Metro below the hotel building and 200m to Trafalgar Square. Quality is good although hotel rooms need some refreshment if they want to be considered as full 4* hotel

Perfect location and very nice hotel

My wife and I agree that this hotel is a perfect location. I was concerned about the price, but after doing research, it was a fair and reasonable rate. It is an old, historic hotel they have upgraded and improved. The bath included a lavatory, commode, tub and shower with heated towel rack. The towels were big enough to wrap-up in! The bed was a bit short for me... I'm over 6 foot, but I survived. The staff was nice, friendly and helpful. We ordered ice from room service every day and the man who brought it was very nice and professional. The concierge helped with our bags and helped us into our taxi. He was very gracious. The hotel is located adjacent to the Charing Cross Underground subway and this was one of the niceties at this hotel. Being located about a block from Trafalgar Square (the center of the city) helps too. Candles are placed on the stairs in the evening giving the entire hotel a very romantic feel. We highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay!
