    beautifully designed common areas, charming cobblestone locale, access to tea and coffee facilities

    Lack of elevator access made it frustrating to reach rooms on higher floors!!! The vague WiFi information could be clearer instead of having to ask for details!!!

    no lift

    Cozy spot with great service. Loved the happy hour and live music events. No lift access makes it tough for heavy luggage. Perfect location for exploring nearby attractions.

    cozy bed
    attentive staff
    excellent location
    no elevator
    difficult access

    I had a professional stay at The Academy, where the room was well-appointed with a cozy bed and a well-stocked complimentary drinks fridge. The staff were attentive, assisting with any requests efficiently. The location is superb, within walking distance to major tube stations, which made commuting for business meetings very convenient.

    The absence of an elevator made accessing the top floor challenging, especially with luggage.

    amazing location
    peaceful retreat
    no lift access
    heavy bags

    The location was amazing! Just steps away from the British Museum. The courtyard was a peaceful retreat after a busy day. Only downside was the no lift access, which was tough with heavy bags. 😅

    An Unforgettable Birthday Stay

    I recently celebrated my birthday at this luxurious hotel, and the experience was fantastic! From the warm welcome at check-in with an upgrade to a suite, to the complimentary bottle of red wine and a thoughtful birthday note, I felt truly special. The hotel’s location made exploring various attractions incredibly convenient, and the delicious continental breakfast, especially the freshly baked pastries, was a delightful start to my day. one improvement could be clearer information on breakfast charges during check-in.

    excellent service with some room for improvement

    The staff demonstrated exceptional care and attention throughout my stay, showing immense pride in their work. The location provided easy access to local attractions, and the food was truly outstanding.

    The room could use some updates to match the overall excellence of the service.

    exclusive tour
    cozy vibe
    prime location
    cleaning oversight

    Had a great time with friends! We loved the Academy Book Club for its cozy vibe. Plus, an exclusive tour with Travel Curious took us to the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace, super informative! The courtyard was a nice spot to unwind after a day out, and the location made exploring easy.

    But, we did have an issue with our room not being cleaned on one day, which was a bit of a letdown.

    Request a room on a lower floor if you have mobility concerns, as there is no elevator access.

    clean shower

    Can't recommend highly enough for a break on long journey

    Comfortable room, delightful staff, thoroughly enjoyed the essential amenities like the clean shower and complimentary toiletries, and found the location conveniently close to Goodge Street just a short walk away.

    Everything was perfect.

    fantastic location
    super easy access

    perfectly situated near covent garden and hyde park for strolls

    the hotel's fantastic location made exploring the city super easy, just a short walk to bustling covent garden and the serene beauty of hyde park, which I truly appreciated during my weekend getaway as a single traveler.

    comfortable room

    Ideal for a peaceful getaway

    The bathroom was spick and span with really good water pressure in the shower and every afternoon I came back to find the room tidied up just so every time creates a nice little routine

    It wasn't exactly cheap but for what you get it was frankly acceptable
