  • Overall: Rating of 4.4 out of 5

    "The hotel overall is very nice, modern and great service." source Hotels.com

    "I would recommend this hotel to anybody and it is where we are going to stay when we go back next year." source Expedia

  • Clean: Rating of 4.5 out of 5

    "Thank god she looked in the drawers, we found our medication placed all nice and neat in the drawer in the other room (bedroom)." source Expedia

  • Service: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "Housekeeping kept the room serviced regardless of what time we went out and they made sure we always had enough coffee." source Orbitz

    "Outstanding in every regard except that I was not able to use their internet service to get an airline boarding pass as I was not a business client (I used an "internet cafe" down the street)." source Expedia

  • Location: Rating of 5.0 out of 5

    "The Charing Cross is in a great location, basically just off of Trafalgar Square." source Orbitz

    "If it's in your budget go for it - particularly if you're interested in theatre - Leiscter Sq and most theatres are in walking distance - also the National Gallery which is free and you can just pop in for an hour or so if you want to kill some time." source Skoosh

    "This hotel is located right next to a Tube station and a railway station. It is within walking distance to many theatres, Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery and the Portrait Gallery." source Hotels.com

    "Location was more than I could have asked for, is central to everything in downtown London." source Expedia

    "Aside from that, few complaints; good price, attentive staff, good value and fantastic location on the Strand a few blocks from Trafalgar Square and easy walking distance to many sites." source Hotels.com

  • Value: Rating of 4.0 out of 5

    "Good value but bit annoyed at the " push" to upgrade to a junior suite at only an extra £35 per night." source Skoosh

    "Wish that internet access was included in the room price." source Hotels.com

    "The Charing Cross is a perfect location - a block from Trafalgar Square, about 4 blocks to Leicester Square for half-price theater tix, several pubs nearby, a food court inside the Charing Cross tube station, and an easy walk on the footbridge across the Thames to the London Eye, great views of Parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey." source Expedia

  • Room: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "The hotel was a nice old hotel and the room was pleasant with a towel warming rack." source Expedia
