"We had a lovely stay at Hausd in Soho. The room was a real highlight — beautifully designed, very cozy, and exceptionally clean.
The location in Chinatown is a major advantage. Despite being in such a lively area, the room was very quiet.
We also want to highlight the excellent service: the Hausd team was always available and very responsive. The check-in process was smooth and straightforward, and communication throughout the stay was clear and efficient.
Overall, it’s a perfect combination...

"Check in process was very easy! Unit was clean. Location was okay. Unfortunately, my unit was right next to the street and the construction crew started at 7am each morning. You can hear the train as well. "

"Fabulous! Apartment was exactly as pictured.
View of Westminster and London Eye from
balcony was extra special. Plenty of room for family of 5. Close to all transport, shops, restaurants, parks, etc. Grab some waters and essentials from
the Tesco around the corner and you are all
set. Would definitely return!"

"In the listing it does not clarify there is no elevator to a 5 floor building. Getting there with luggage or no luggage was hard. Ceiling with clear humidity. "

"Great place to stay in Central London - spacious and light, comfortable beds and easy to access. Our only issue was that we were there in the May 2026 ‘heatwave’ and it really was hot. A couple of pedestal fans would go a long way to helping with this at night. Luckily we were able to open all the windows and let some cooler air in eventually. Quite a noisy spot with all the 5am rubbish collections but earplugs were provided and we quite enjoyed hearing the city wake up around us."

"Stayed here during the recent heatwave in London. Overall the experience was decent and the location is excellent for exploring the city, especially around South Bank and Westminster.
We did have to switch rooms because the AC in the original room wasn’t working properly. The staff were helpful with moving us, but even after switching, the cooling systems seemed to struggle with the unusually hot weather. Just something to keep in mind if visiting during peak summer or during a heatwave.
Other than that, the amenities were decent, rooms were ok, and the hotel location was why I selected this."
"You can’t beat the location. It’s right by The Tower of London and Tower Bridge. It’s also very convenient to Tower Hill tube stop. We prepaid for the breakfast and it was filling and fast, as well as amazing. The concierge desk, particularly David, was a huge help on the trip. They held our luggage the first day until check in so we could explore. Very helpful when getting there from the States. There is also a Tesco nearby for snacks.
The only fault I had was the air handler was not able to cope with an admittedly unprecedented heat wave, so the rooms were a bit warm. Nothing we couldn’t cope with. Definitely will be staying there again."
"A centrally located hotel with easy access to the attractions in central London.
The lobby was hot and very busy on a late afternoon in June. The self check-in process was smooth, but my room key card wasn't programmed correctly. Having queued for a lift and wheeled my luggage to the furthest room on the floor, it was frustrating to need to return to Reception for a working key card.
The Reception staff were helpful in arranging a later, separate check-in for my companion.
The twin room was comfortable, with effective but noisy air conditioning.
We didn't pay extra for the buffet breakfast; there are many breakfast options nearby for a busy traveller.
Be aware that there is a £10 charge for left luggage."
"In a very good location close to Victoria station but quiet. Check in was fast. The rooms are new and big enough and everything worked. It was clean and so were all areas we passed. Loved the shower especially. Breakfast was good with a wide selection. Have stayed in other Riu hotels abroad and love the group. Stayed one night but will certainly stay there again."
"We booked based on the hotels.com website info and paid a price that reflected this being a hotel, however (apart from the room itself) everything else more like the hostel it has been taken over by. We felt very mislead. We received no replies to our messages via the hotels.com app pre-arrival, and the phone was not answered so parking wasn't booked. Check-in was chaotic. Lifts were not working and access to rooms was via a narrow metal spiral staircase. Breakfast was very disappointing - poor quality food and limited options, especially for hot breakfast - beans, hash browns, cheap sausages and a hard boiled egg in its shell! It was fine for a hostel but we'd paid hotel prices! Worst of all was when the fire alarm went off during the night. Not the hotel's fault, obviously, but very fortunately it was not a real fire as it was utter chaos for 1.5 hours while the alarm kept ringing. If there were any staff managing things we didn't see them - before the fire brigade arrived and said there was no fire there was no attempt to evacuate the building. There was zero communication or instruction throughout, no checking if rooms had been evacuated or roll call, no assistance for people with young children on the spiral stairs. People all over the building were wondering what on earth was going on. On the plus side the room was fine, the few staff we saw were lovely, and it's a great location."
"As usual a great stay at the President, quick check in, quiet room and spotless. Very hot day so had to remove quilt and just sleep with cover, but fan in room and windows open helped keep cool overnight."
