Hotel staff friendly and helpful. Room size was good. They offer breakfast, which is nice. Convenient location, easy walk to food, shops, Underground station, and other nearby places. The only thing I didn’t like, was the room didn’t have A/C. It was very hot and stuffy. They do have standing fans in the room, and with the windows open, it cools off enough at night.

Great location! So easy to get around, staff were friendly, some reviews mention how small the small double room is and I was prepared, but for one person, it was totally all I needed! The bed was comfy, I slept well. Great value if you're not looking to spend excessive money, but want to stay central to activities in London. I will absolutely stay here again!

City hotel with good public transport connection

Typical city hotel in an old buiding with all benefits (close to metro, some tourists attractions are close by, good transport, many restaurant, quite area) and negative (no isolation, you can hear you neighbours, no air-conditioning). The executive room is close to a loud ventilation systems which is shutdown in the evening but woke me up each early morning when running again. Good continental breakfast.

I had an unfortunate medical emergency while staying at the Phoenix Hotel. The staff was very quick to come to my aid which relaxed me. I felt like I was with family. They got me to the hospital where I am now recovering. The hotel is saving me a room where I can recover for the next few days before my flight back to America. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone. This is my third stay there and every time has been outstanding.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I don't often leave negative reviews but unfortunately this was one of the poorest hotel experiences I've had in some time. First, our room on the second floor was exceedingly and uncomfortably hot. Despite the fact that the temperature outside in the city was actually pleasantly cool for most of our stay, the room itself, with no AC, windows that only opened about 2 inches and only a very basic fan provided, was very hot. There was also no fridge in the room, so not even the possibility of storing some bottles of water at a cold temperature. In fairness, the hotel does not advertise that it has AC, and we should have probably checked before booking, but it also should not have been necessary in relation to the weather outside. Notably, the ground floor and reception areas appear to have AC, but not the rooms. The water also had a strange quality whereby soap would never completely rince out, which was really unpleasant. The wifi also kept disconnecting, such that you had to reconnect every day in order not to accidentally use all your data. When it did work it was decent though. Location was convenient and quiet. Breakfast was decent but nothing special. Staff were not particularly warm and approable, but did offer helpful assistance when asked. All in all, okay stay, but uncomfortable for the price paid. We were relieved to be going home when we left!

Very clean. Polite and professional staff. I stayed by myself and the room was small but more than enough for one person. Some people might expect more in the way of bathroom amenities, but the only thing I missed was toothpaste. Shower was nice and powerful, although it'll be a squeeze if you're on the larger size. I actually said "Yes!" When I saw the jammy dodgers that were included with the tea and coffee, of which there were plenty. Breakfast was really good with something for everyone and lots of it. The dining room was also very nice and made me want to stay, rather than wolf down my food and leave. I'm already planning to stay again on my way out of the UK.
