Good Hotel
Good hotel, but actually expected to be a better one. Lobby area looked amazing, Christmas decorations were fantastic too! Room itself was quite small (and look sort of different to what we saw on their website), we also thought our bathtub itseld could be cleaner! other than that room was cosy and clean.

Weekend visiting family (decided for hotel quietness)
The hotel was really great. Well connected and very central. Close to 3 subway stations, 2 stops from Piccadilly and Victoria, 1 from Euston. Nice reasonable-sized rooms - we were upgraded to an apartment!!! Awesome breakfast although a bit pricey but if you become a member (free) its 50% off. The gym was nice and unused which was also great. Best hotel I have stayed at in London for a while! Overall I highly recommend you stay here - unless you have enough money for one of those 5 star places ;) ;)

Wonderful Hotel and Location
I am from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and have never been to Europe before. I have a cousin who has lived in London for almost forty years, and only see her occasionaly at weddings and funerals back home. I met my twenty-one year old daughter at Heathrow airport, and we traveled together to the Melia White House. My daughter is studying in Antibes, near Cannes and Monte Carlo, France, and had visited London and my cousin already. A friend, who is also a AAA travel agent suggested the Melia White House because of its proximity to my cousin's home in Little Venice, and the wonderful access to the Tube...just a block away, and the fact that it is a world class hotel! My daughter and I were there over the G20 conference, and there were press interviews being done at the hotel, but it was hardly noticed because of the expertise of the staff there at the hotel. Breakfasts were wonderful! So much food, and a great reason for getting up and starting the day. The staff, especially the concierges, were so very helpful with directions, cabs, transports and a room upgrade. We were a little cramped in our original room, so we upgraded to the "Level", a larger room and much more liveable for a few days. I have stayed in many hotels accross the US, Mexico, Canada and the Carribbean, and this hotel was surely a treat. I am glad that my friend reccomended it. My only regret as an American, was the lack of wash cloths in the bathroom... apparently Europeans use what we call hand towels in place of wash cloths. We did ask for wash cloths, and immediately received more "hand towels". This was truely a lovely adventure for myself and my daughter, and if I am lucky enough to visit my cousin in London again, I will defineately stay here!

Located opposite Portland Street
Located opposite Portland Street tube station and close to Regents Park this was a great hotel. Although breakfast was NOT include in the price we were offered an upgrade for little more than the cost of twp breakfasts which gave us a king-sized bed, breakfasts and access to a lounge which provided free tapas & drinks from 6pm. That effectively meant that dinner was include as well.

Great hotel. Quite large but surprisingly quiet. Excellent location by Regents Park. Can't fault it. Taxi or tube to all locations are close by. 15 minute walk to Oxford Street
