    We were lucky to get a deal which was £99 per night for bed and breakfast which we thought was excellent value. Lovely clean hotel with lovely attentive staff.

    Nice hotel in a good location. Walking distance to most of the attractions. Rooms are smaller than expected with low on furniture. Overall it's a nice clean room and friendly staff.

    This was my first stay at the Waldorf. The rooms were a good size but the view on to Aldwych was spoiled by the amount of traffic noise. This noise went on for most of the night . A tip for staying at the Waldorf ...get a room away from the road,

    Excellent location Very close to Covent Garden, near several theatres, restaurants, and other retail. Not too far from Leicester Square, Picadilly Circus, etc. Easy access to public transportation -- short walk to Covent Garden Tube station; bus stops right in front of the hotel. By European standards, guest room and bathroom were spacious. Had flat screen t.v. Only thing missing in the room was a dresser/chest of drawers to unpack suitcase. Traveler's tip on dining We loved the cozy little Italian restaurant around the corner called San Francesco. Food was excellent, and owner Italo makes you feel very welcome.

    The Waldorf Hilton is centrally located within the theater district. It is within walking distance of the British Museum and many other attractions. The hotel staff was very knowlegeable and helpful, recommending some great restaurants and theater options. The rooms were spacious and had all the amenities you would expect in a four star hotel: bathrobe and slippers, spa and health club, down comforter and bedding, premium bath products, and concierge service. I would highly recommend this hotel.
