A really good hotel in a great location. Covent Garden, Seven Dials and a host of great restaurants and theatres within a few minutes walk. The hotel is lovely - our room was spotlessly clean, spacious and well-equipped, with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast options were varied and food was excellent - as were the bar's cocktail offerings. Most importantly, all of the staff were a delight - friendly and most welcoming, efficient and attentive. Our first stay - but we will definitely return.

Wonderful stay at Middle Eight. Lovely welcome at reception and super friendly staff throughout. Spotlessly clean and spacious bedroom. Fabulous seating area for guests on first floor with a large selection of books to browse. Ideal location for Covent Garden and theatreland. Highly recommended, we shall certainly use this hotel again for any future visit to London

My wife and I stayed when we were visiting. The location is great! Walkable to great areas. The room was very nice, although the bathroom was rather small. We were greeted by Saq, who made us feel welcomed and special. He was very knowledgeable about the area, and seemed to want to do everything possible to make our stay memorable.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Middle Eight London! From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding — special thanks to Saq at reception, who truly went above and beyond. He greeted us with such warmth and professionalism, made us feel genuinely welcome, and surprised us with a room upgrade and complimentary drinks to celebrate our anniversary. The hotel itself is beautiful — modern, elegant, and perfectly maintained. Our upgraded room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special. The location is perfect too, close to Covent Garden and within easy reach of the best that London has to offer. A big thank you again to Saq and the entire Middle Eight team for making our anniversary stay so memorable. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for top-notch hospitality in the heart of London!

I and my partner stayed at the Middle Eight Hotel for my birthday for two nights and I was genuinely impressed. We had an issue with our room and a member of staff came over swiftly to resolve it. Despite it being late in the day, we were upgraded without any fuss, which was a lovely surprise. We were also served by Dion in the lobby bar, who was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Ali made a house special cocktail (the Vanilla Spiced Mule), which was absolutely delicious. Both Dion and Ali went out of their way to make my birthday weekend feel that little bit more special. The only con is parking - the max stay is 2 hours before 6.30pm and it’s a tad difficult at times to actually find parking. I would recommend taking public transport. Other than that, I would highly recommend staying at Middle Eight. I’ll definitely be visiting again.
