The mandrake is an exceptional hotel, the interior decor is innovative and inspiring for creatives, with beautiful contemporary artwork, and installations, every floor is decadent glamour, there are quiet areas also and you feel like you are not in the centre of London but in a lush tropical location. The food is tasty, as well as the bar area with iconic cocktails. The staff are very friendly and hospitable, we loved our stay there and will return soon

Bill was Ā£200 more than indicated on Expedia. Room was directly by a bar area, which had a full view into the room. The location was actually an upgrade, not clear why. Cleaners were on the terrace at 6 in the morning talking and waking us up.

Front desk was often not staffed, yet the hotel requires you to leave the rather large keychain, key and lift fob at reception, leading to long delays getting to the room. Noisy as DJ plays downstairs most nights until 1am. Room not sound proof.

Unusual but lovely

Quite an unusual ā€˜nightclubbyā€™entrance and hotel theme. Very dark but fun. We had a suite that was perfect, light clean comfortable. Coffee machine, bathrobes, good bathroom amenities,king bed. Unusual selection in the ā€˜mini bar areaā€™. It was a hot day but room was lovely. and cool. There was music until 1am apparently but we didnā€™t hear it in our first floor room. Very quiet.Breakfast was fantastic although due to a brand new system it was extremely slowā€¦needs sorting out.

It turns into a nightclub at night (this was a Saturday). You cannot have a seat and get a quiet drink at your own hotel bar, you need to queue up behind drunk 20 year olds and deal with bartenders with bad attitudes.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Interesting hotel, the decor is terrific and the staff very helpful. Sitting in the bar area there were so many people coming into the hotel and disappearing into various out of sight rooms, had no idea what was going on but it made it all the more intriguing..lighting is very ā€˜ambientā€™, tripped a couple of times in the corridors (I do wear glasses), got lost coming out of the lift on wrong floor, and took me several minutes to get the door to the room open with the strange key lock mechanism. Lovely Full-English breakfast. All in all, certainly a different kind of place to stay in central London and will probably stay again.
