F6 Greek Street by City Living London

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to F6 Greek Street, I almost missed it entirely. It’s tucked into this narrow Georgian townhouse that blends so seamlessly with the Soho streetscape that you might walk right past if you’re not paying attention. But that’s actually part of its charm, you know? While tourists are queuing up for the flashier hotels near Leicester Square, you’re slipping into something that feels more like a well-kept local secret.

The location is honestly brilliant if you want to be in the thick of things without staying in some soulless chain hotel. Greek Street itself is this perfect little slice of Soho – you’ve got Ronnie Scott’s jazz club literally around the corner (fair warning: it can get a bit lively on weekend nights, but the double-glazed windows do their job), and you’re maybe a two-minute walk from some of the best dim sum in Chinatown. I mean, you step out the front door and you’re immediately surrounded by independent coffee shops, vintage record stores, and those tiny Italian places that somehow fit twelve tables into a space the size of most people’s living rooms. The whole area has this creative energy that you just don’t get in the more polished parts of central London.

What really impressed me about F6 is how they’ve managed to create something genuinely stylish without trying too hard. The interiors feel contemporary but not cold – lots of warm wood, decent lighting that doesn’t make you look like you’re dying, and they’ve actually thought about things like having enough plugs near the bed (revolutionary concept, I know). The staff seem to genuinely know the neighborhood too, which makes a difference when you’re asking for restaurant recommendations. They pointed me toward this incredible little wine bar on Dean Street that I never would have found otherwise. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no lengthy speeches about amenities I’ll never use, just efficient and friendly. The rooms aren’t massive, but this is Soho, not the suburbs, and they’ve used the space cleverly. Plus, honestly, when you’re staying somewhere this central, you’re not exactly planning to spend your days lounging around the room anyway. That 8.6 rating feels about right – it’s the kind of place that gets the important stuff right without any unnecessary fuss, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want.
