Which London hotel

In November, I am planning a one night stay in London. I am struggling to know which hotel to book. I have some credit card points I can use which means I can book somewhere a little more luxurious than I am used to. Although, I don't want a hotel that I will feel uncomfortable/out of place in. I plan on seeing a show (possibly Matilda), so maybe a hotel around Covent Garden. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks

I love the Blackfriars Premier Inn. Out of the way enough to feel cosy but an easy walk to Covent Garden and beyond. Might not be as luxurious as you're thinking of, though.

SACO apartments are a good, affordable alternative to hotels

Thank you I will check these out. There are so many places to stay I was feeling swamped by all the choices!

Have a look at the Charlotte St Hotel. It's near Covent Garden but on a reasonably quiet street. Lots of cafes and shops right outside. Easy walking distance to all the theatres. It's more of a boutique feel and very female friendly.

Depending on your budget, you could also look at the Hotel Indigo on Leicester Square (if you really want to be in the heart of tourist central) or The Hoxton at Holborn (if you'd prefer to be a short walk away from the madness). Or blow your budget and stay at the Savoy. Grin

We're from London suburbs and had 2 short breaks in town when we've had overnight kid care,

One we went to fitzrovia, cheaper hotels, british museum, walk to the big shops, i think we walked to west end as well, it's all not far and tubes awesome. Lots of little squares and arty stuff round fitzrovia it's v nice. We stayed mercure london bloomsbury. Clean standard chain, comfy bed, small room, good value for so central.

Other time we went west London near kensington high street that's not the right side for you though!

Thank you for the suggestions.
I would feel like an imposter at the Savoy Grin

I can recommend Covent Garden Hotel on Monmouth St. it's really lovely.

My parents are very fussy with hotels and they stayed at the W Hotel at Leicester Square and said it was lovely and reasonably priced. If you do want to save pennies I stay in premier inn hub hotels when I stay in London. Tiny little rooms but so well laid out and modern. Amazing prices too. There is one in Covent garden.

What’s your budget? The Radisson Blu Edwardian Mercer Street is absolutely lovely and feels like a proper treat but without being intimidating/needing to get dressed up etc. It’s very close to Covent Garden.

We stay at the Novotel in Southwark. It's great there.

Tbh these days is not like the 80s, things are generally of a good standard now or they don't last. It's a lot less risky.

Pick location, plug in budget, check trop advisor, jobs agoodun probably :)

I think it's nice to stay a bit away from the crowds and walk around London. Depending on the part obv! But it's safe and lovely and off the beaten track you find all sorts of good stuff and peaceful :)

Southwark is good, tate modern is amazing building, walk along river beautiful, borough Market. Harry Potter fans can go leaden Hall and short hop tube to west end.

I love London tbh 😁
