I had such high hopes for The BoTree London. After seeing countless influencers rave about this property on social media, I was genuinely excited to experience it for myself. The glowing reviews painted a picture of a sophisticated, peaceful retreat in the heart of London—exactly what I was looking for. What those influencers didn't mention (because they stayed before it opened) was that the hotel now has a nightclub in the basement, and it has completely transformed the guest experience.
If you're planning a weekend visit to London, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. The nightclub makes sleep virtually impossible on Friday and Saturday nights. The bass-heavy music travels through the elevator shafts to every floor, creating a constant throbbing that penetrates the rooms. Adding to the disturbance, you'll hear the accessible elevator announcements—"going up, going down, going up!"—echoing throughout the building as club patrons come and go. If your room is anywhere near the elevator bays, you will not sleep.
The music doesn't stop until 2:30-3:00 AM, and then you're subjected to the aftermath: intoxicated guests shouting on the street, car engines revving, and vehicles blasting music as they pick up departing clubgoers. Expect quiet only after 4:00 AM. Our last night, the fire alarms went off, all the emergency doors closed. Some locked, including the one to the stairwell. I called this in from the room, but no staff were fielding calls.
