Ham Yard Hotel, London
More photosExpert reviews
“Snug within its own Soho enclave, Ham Yard still feels as fresh as when it opened in 2014, with its procession of fabrics, textures, and fizzy commotion that rebooted the whole concept of the boutique hotel.”

Pleasant
Lovely furnishings, comfy room and bed and Linen, well appointed bathroom
Most of the staff were great, especially the doorman and the front desk staff
The breakfast staff seemed a little short tempered. Not all of them but one in particular, who also got our order wrong. We felt like we were a nuisance to her. The bar and restaurant were "ok"...but that's it.

I want to love it but...
1. The bowling alley.
2. Ham Yard is almost identical to the Soho Hotel (also a Firmdale property) but in my opinion less refined, despite being pricier. Ham Yard is trendier I think, and in a very slightly better location but Soho is in my opinion the better choice.
Unfriendly front desk staff. Lots of 'not possible'. We arrived early and asked to be notified by WhatsApp (only had a data sim) when our room was ready. Apparently something that is not possible.
They could also not give us an idea when then room would be ready, how hard is it to assign a room and coordinate with housekeeping? Not possible apparently.
The concierge and his team on the other hand were fantastic and accommodating in every way. Perhaps management should get the concierge desk to train the front desk on customer service.

Disappointed for value.
Breakfast and staff at breakfast were great.
Upgraded our room - it was spacious but poorly laid out we had to lift the TV to watch it while in bed. Generally staff good, in breakfast great, but had a rude experience on returning our first night as we said the wrong room number and cause unnecessary comments. I’ve been to the Ham Yard lots for business lunches and breakfasts, never stayed. Normally stay at the Rosewood or Claridges and we wanted to try something different.

The Hoxton Hotel, London

The Zetter Townhouse Clerkenwell, London
CN Traveler“The maximalist Zetter Townhouse taps a rich vein of Victorian eccentricity to create an urban den with genuine warmth—a theme hotel without the cheese. It’s a lovely, under-the-radar hotel that’s for real London lovers.”
