The location really is outstanding - you step out the door and are in very close walking distance to the theatre district, Covent Garden, Leicester Square, and Soho. Embankment and Charing Cross train stations are a minute away. Other conveniences are super close (supermarket, chemist, net cafes), and it's safe to walk around there at night because it's so busy... more

Dear fellow travellers, your reviews led me to book this hotel but I was severely let down. It is London afterall so my expectations were low but this place is really dreadful. Sticky carpets, threadbare bedspreads, curtains and lumpy mattresses that haven't been changed since the 50s. Totally unacceptable standard for a hotel operator. Mould on the bread at breakfast.... more

This is my second review of this hotel. Via my user name read this in connection with my earlier review save me repeating myself. This was the 5th time in 12 months I have stayed at the Royal Adelphi and I love it. This hotel is about location not 5* luxury. Work colleagues have also now started to stay at... more

My wife and I stayed at the Royal Adelphi Hotel on Villiers Street in London from May 22-May 26, 2008. We had a room with a private bath and double bed. The location was absolutely perfect - across the street from Charing Cross station, about 150 yards from the Embankment tube station, and a very short walk to Trafalgar Square.... more

Not the most fabulous hotel I've ever stayed at....probably one of the more basic. The hotel is not fantastic but it is clean with a comfy bed and fresh towels each day. Soap/shampoo are provided but we didn't use them The breakfast is just ok, just a range of breads, croissants, preserves and cerial with orange juice and tea/coffee.We only... more

If you're expecting the Ritz-Carlton at this price and location.... don't go to the Royal Adelphi Hotel! As for the realists, if you need a place to rest, take a shower and want to be in the heart of the city so that you can easily walk anywhere... this is for you! Clean, Very Friendly Staff and location, location, location!... more

The Royal Adelphi is in a really good location for exploring the city. The train station is just across the road with the underground just a short walk away which means you can get to almost anywhere really easy. Trafalgar Square is about a 5 minute walk, if even that, and buses etc are in abundance. The hotel was in... more

This Hotel is very clean but if you have problems with stairs go somewhere else , no lift and loads of stairs even from the street to reception. We stayed for two nights and couldnt get in to breakfast any day,the room is so small very few people can get in at a time and most tables were for two.The... more

We needed an interim place to stay for 2 nights during a recent trip to London. The pictures of the rooms posted in the hotel lobby were very deceiving and must have been taken quite some time ago. Although we found the staff to be quite friendly and informative, our first room had cigarette burns in the comforter and carpeting,... more
