Best Covent Garden/Chinatown/Soho Location

Best Covent Garden/Chinatown/Soho Location Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Best Covent Garden/Chinatown/Soho Location on Newport Court, you’ll immediately understand why this four-star hotel gets such high marks for location. I mean, you’re literally steps away from Leicester Square’s buzz, but tucked into this quieter side street that feels almost secretive. The entrance is understated — no grand lobby theatrics here — but that’s actually part of its charm. You get the sense you’ve found something the tourist masses haven’t quite discovered yet, even though you’re right in the thick of everything.

Location Magic

Here’s what I love about Newport Court — it’s this narrow little street that connects Charing Cross Road to Gerrard Street, putting you at the crossroads of three of London’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Step left and you’re in Chinatown with its red lanterns and late-night dim sum spots. Head right and Covent Garden’s street performers and market stalls are a two-minute walk. Soho’s theaters and pubs? Even closer. I’ve stayed in plenty of central London hotels, but honestly, this spot gives you more neighborhood variety within a block than anywhere else I know. No wonder couples rate it so highly — there’s something romantic about having the city’s best bits right at your doorstep.

The Neighborhood Experience

What really sets this place apart is how it sits in the heart of authentic London life rather than just tourist London. Newport Court itself has this wonderful mix of Chinese restaurants, quirky shops, and that slightly gritty urban energy that makes the city feel real. You’ll hear multiple languages on your way to grab morning coffee, and the street stays lively well into the evening. It’s the kind of location where you can pop out for a quick bite and end up discovering your new favorite dumpling spot or stumbling into a hidden jazz bar in Soho.

Practical Perks

The transport connections here are genuinely excellent — Leicester Square tube is practically around the corner, giving you access to the Northern and Piccadilly lines. Covent Garden station is just as close if you prefer the Piccadilly line. But honestly, you might find yourself walking more than taking the tube because so much is within easy reach. The British Museum, South Bank, Oxford Street shopping — all very doable on foot. There’s something satisfying about being able to walk to a West End show, grab dinner in Chinatown, and be back at your hotel in minutes.

Why Guests Love It

This hotel works because it delivers on the promise of its name — you really are getting the best of all three neighborhoods without the compromises that usually come with central London stays. The 8.3 rating reflects what I experienced: a place that understands location is everything in London, and they’ve nailed it. You’re not paying for marble lobbies or rooftop pools here; you’re paying for the privilege of being exactly where you want to be. For couples especially, there’s something magical about having romantic Covent Garden, vibrant Chinatown, and edgy Soho all as your backyard.
