great hotel in a great location
this was my 2nd time here and it was just as expected. in a great location , walking distance to soho and theatreland. located a short 5 minute walk from googe underground station - it's easy to get to from LHR (if you're taking the tube). hotel is quiet and had everything that I needed. only bummer was wifi was pretty expensive at the hotel (15 pounds/day) and it was the only reliable wifi available - but performed well. might be a little more than hotels a bit further away, but the time and money saved from not having to use taxi's makes it break close to even. looking forward to my next visit to the UK and will stay here again. will definately stay here again

This is my 2nd stay in this very centrally located, good value for money hotel. The area is nice with several excellent restaurants to choose from. Oxford Street and Tot Court Roads are within spitting distance. The tube is a short walk. Rooms are a little small, but nothing to complain about considering the location and price. Clean, neat and tidy is all I need. I will definately be staying there again on my next trip.

Stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the stay in the Rathbone. I will definately use this hotel again. The location was everything, hardly needed to use the tube it's so central. Room a little on the small side, but not complaining. Breakfast a touch expensive, but there this a Pret, Starbucks and a multitude of eating spots all about. Good choice, you can't go wrong. I had a 'double' room.

nice place
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel rooms were very clean. The breakfast was a little expensive but certainly convenient. The connection to the wifi was not good as you went further up the building. 15 pounds a day seems a lot since many hotels will do free wifi. The side street of the hotel was quite noisy in the mornings as local businesses were setting up or having trash emptied, etc. Definately don't want to open windows if you like it quiet.

Eighth London trip in 10 years
Probably the best all around hotel experience in 8 trips to London. Would have liked it a bit warmer in my room, or at least another blanket, and was frequently bothered by sun (yes,believe it or not, it was sunny all week) streaming in through a gap a foot wide and five feet high between draperies that would not close.

Excellent location for the price
Excellent location within easy walking distance of Oxford Street, Soho, the west end and most attractions. Small but very smart and clean hotel. Room was relatively large for London and was very clean and well appointed. The staff were very polite, friendly and helpful. I would certainly stay thre again and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

Fine location - poor service
It's close to the tube but that's about it's only selling point. Staff was unhelpful and the room was uncomfortable.
