This is a fun hotel to stay at for a nice weekend. Super unique with amazing staff, accommodations that are comfortable and delicious food with a cool bar setup. Shoutout to the staff that helped wrangle in a wild room next door, late in the night.

Thank you ❤️

From the moment we entered the hotel we were met with kindness and love. Has to be the most stylish hotel in London. The cocktails and selection at the bar were beautiful. The food was incredibly well thought out and tasted beautiful. Unbelievable decor, incredible customer service and a weekend I will remember for the rest of my life. To Sim and the team, big love from J & T. Thank you for everything

The mandrake is an exceptional hotel, the interior decor is innovative and inspiring for creatives, with beautiful contemporary artwork, and installations, every floor is decadent glamour, there are quiet areas also and you feel like you are not in the centre of London but in a lush tropical location. The food is tasty, as well as the bar area with iconic cocktails. The staff are very friendly and hospitable, we loved our stay there and will return soon

Bill was £200 more than indicated on Expedia. Room was directly by a bar area, which had a full view into the room. The location was actually an upgrade, not clear why. Cleaners were on the terrace at 6 in the morning talking and waking us up.

The penthouse was battered and tired

Booked into the penthouse which is in need of a refurbishment. The jacuzzi was out of order which I wasn’t told about until I got to the room, the door handle to the room itself was hanging off the door, the fittings in the bathrooms were loose, the paint around the room was chipped and battered in places. I was offered a 20% discount once this was pointed out but I had generally expected better.

Front desk was often not staffed, yet the hotel requires you to leave the rather large keychain, key and lift fob at reception, leading to long delays getting to the room. Noisy as DJ plays downstairs most nights until 1am. Room not sound proof.

Unusual but lovely

Quite an unusual ‘nightclubby’entrance and hotel theme. Very dark but fun. We had a suite that was perfect, light clean comfortable. Coffee machine, bathrobes, good bathroom amenities,king bed. Unusual selection in the ‘mini bar area’. It was a hot day but room was lovely. and cool. There was music until 1am apparently but we didn’t hear it in our first floor room. Very quiet.Breakfast was fantastic although due to a brand new system it was extremely slow…needs sorting out.
