Exceptional service and perfect location! Our stay at Hotel Cavendish was wonderful. The location made it so easy to explore — just a short distance to Buckingham Palace and Big Ben, with restaurants and shopping nearby. The views were fantastic, and the customer service truly stood out. We felt very well cared for the entire time. After checkout, the staff even loaded our bags into the car while we toured the city, which was such a thoughtful touch. A perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and attention — highly recommend for anyone visiting London!

Property is located in an excellent area for all things shopping, dining, cultural venues and theatre. The hotel itself is well established, modern (although scheduled for refurbishment), and has an onsite restaurant and valet parking. Public transport is also nearby. The rooms are on the small side, although adequate, an upgrade is suggested. The bathroom shower and bath are great with unusually good water pressure. Although clean, housekeeping is a bit hit or miss when it comes to providing adequate bath toiletries and refreshment refills. The reception and concierge staff are very helpful and friendly. We've stayed here quite a few times over the years and consider it our regular when returning to London solely based on location and adequate for a short 2 night stay. If looking for spa facilities or longer stays I'd suggest somewhere else that provides more in the way of facilities and services.

Fix window noise insulation!

Great location. Newer building relative to historical neighborhood. Terrible window insulation. Dated bathroom. Very strange, overbearing service. Ordered a cab, I did not ask for. On a plus side, they do work with you to remedy some issues you raise.
