"It isnt a 4* but its nice"

The hotel was nice, however I deffinetly would not rate it a 4* more like a 3, I was a bit upset though in the fact that because we did a package deal our room seemed to be tiny compared to the other rooms, we also had a tiny TV and all other rooms had large wide screens and this is only the room next door.I like the hotel but I wouldnt go again, The bar was quite dull with no atmosphere, we went to have a drink there after the show and it felt like a waiting room, no music. The staff were okay but not so helpful, when we checked in we werent advised when breakfast was until or when we had to check out so we had to call down to reception a lot.

"Very comfortable stay."

We enjoyed a pleasant weekend break at this hotel. The room was bright and clean and also amazingly quiet for a London hotel. The bathroom was a little tired and due for a bit of a refurbishment but nevertheless again it was very clean and everything was in working order. The staff were extremely attentive and polite. The hotel is in a good position for the tube and it`s easy to get around using this place as a base.

"Friendly staff especially the ladies who looked after us for breakfast."

Lovely hotel. Plenty of restaurants nearby.Within walking distance of theatres and shops. The only things that need attention are the noisy closing of doors on the rooms and the prices in the bar.

"Good little hotel...."

We have stayed at the Rathbone a few times now and are never disappointed. It is in a good location, handy for the tube and there are many bars and restaurants nearby too. The staff are always helpful and friendly and the hotel is very clean. The continental breakfast is very good and, again, the staff are very attentive. Our only small complaint is that the rooms and bathrooms, although nice, are a little dated and need some refurbishment. The rooms could also do with new flat screen tv`s that are digital text enabled. All in all though a good place to stay, offering value for money and no doubt we will be back in the future.

"Overpriced."

Hotel cost around £140 for two people for one night. Whilst the location was excellent this was grossly over-priced for what we got; a very small double room with a standard continental breakfast. The room was about the size of a spare bedroom in a normal sized house, hardly what would be expected for £140 pounds. Would not go to this hotel again because of this disparity between cost and size of room.

"Good location and service"

The Rathbone is in a very good location, close to Goodge Street tube station and also in easy walking distance of many attractions. Plent of nearby bars and restaurants too. The staff in the hotel are all friendly and professional. The hotel has a high standard of cleanliness and the continental breakfast is very good. My only small complaint would be that the rooms could do with a freshen up and modernising, along with the en-suite bathrooms. Overall though, extremely good value, we enjoyed our stay and we will be back again.

"Good location but very noisy."

Location very good. Staff very helpful. Room clean but smelt damp. Don`t expect to get much sleep before 2am and you`ll be awake by 4am when the glass and rubbish are collected from the night before.

"Disappointing"

I was disappointed by the Rathbone Hotel. I certainly wouldn`t categorise it as a `luxury boutique hotel`, the decor is very dated and the standard room we were given was damp, the bathroom a little mouldy plus there was a sizeable hole between the window and the wall! We requested an upgrade as we were unhappy with the room, they eventually found us an executive room that was better but we had to pay for the upgrade even though our original room was sub-standard for a 4 star rating. The Rathbone Hotel did put a downer on what was a special weekend, luckily the show made up for it!

"Good welcoming atmosphere."

A well situated hotel perfect for a night out in the West End or a tour of London the staff were polite and welcoming and we enjoyed our stay. The short distances from the tube station made it easy to enjoy all of London.
