The location was ideal. The service was pretty lackluster. Maybe because it’s a Club Quarters, rather than a regular hotel? We were there over the holidays, and had a frustrating experience. After being notified by Expedia, we had requested reservations from the restaurant via the form provided for Christmas dinner several days in advance. We did not hear back, only to be then were notified when we arrived that we did not have a reservation. Having received an automated response to my request email tgat it has been received, I was confused to say the least. Were there no reservations for the time we had requested? And if so, why weren’t we contacted? The manager of the restaurant was very ambivalent about it—he basically shrugged. We certainly understood that things happen, and had he been more professional about it, we would have felt differently, but it left a sour taste in our mouths. The food at the restaurant was pretty unappetizing and very expensive so maybe we got lucky!

Staying at the Grand hotel Trafalgar was very confusing. I received a text to check in from Club Wuarters. I texted back that I was staying at the Grand Hotel. They are 3 different names for the same place--may even be a 3rd name. That explained why the service charge was an outrageous 20 percent of daily rate--to equalized the higher daily Expedia rate for Club Quarters. Expedia needs to clear this up! I like Club Quarters in US--private lounge area with coffee machine, refillable filtered water bottles, printer and conference room for meetings. But I was expecting an updated Grand Hotel from 25 years ago. Essentially no service over 5 nights. A couple of days someone came in to replenish coffee pods and remove trash. I asked for sheets to be changed but they were not and blankets were merely straightened. The hotel location is fabulous. Bus 91 route ends at the Grand Hotel and stops at Euston and St Pancras Stations. Although I usually stay in Russell Square to spend time at the British Museum, but I wanted a Christmas holiday near the National gallery and St Martins in the Field.

Honestly the hotel room was just okay. Clean but it must be an old building- The scent plug-in was too much so we unplugged it. We asked for clean bath towels and toilet paper via texting, but it took so long for anyone to actually respond (it’s chat bot) and bring these.

Excellent setup in hotel with super comfortable beds, free coffee and such with large lounge for working and relaxing, and easily available free sundries. Only comment, and it did not affect my stay, is a couple of items related to a drywall patch and cracked shower floor tile that will require some TLC in the future. Recommend this hotel for anyone.

The place was beautiful and in a fantastic location! You can walk to a lot of the typical spots in town and also close to 2 different tube stations. Great staff, very attentive to your needs, very helpful with storing bags before and after your stay. Room was nice, bed was a little small but comfortable.

The staff was very helpful, noticed we were an "older" couple and changed our assigned room from one where we would need to navigate a few stairs to one that didn't. Secured our bags as we arrived early. Also, great location! Near two tube stations (Charring Cross and Embankment) as well as all the bus stops at Trafalgar Square.

Our stay was WONDERFUL! You can’t beat the location. We were four seniors that traveled from the States so long exhausting flight. The hotel had rooms available for early check-in so we were very grateful. Did I mention, we weren’t charged for early check-in? Fantastic hotel and staff—can’t brag about it enough!!
