Nottingham Place Hotel

Hotel Description

You know, when I first walked up to the Nottingham Place Hotel, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect – it’s tucked away on this quiet Georgian street that feels worlds apart from the chaos of Oxford Street, even though you’re literally just a five-minute walk from it. The building itself has that classic London townhouse thing going on, all white stucco and black railings, but what struck me right away was how the entrance actually felt welcoming rather than stuffy. I mean, some of these older London hotels can feel a bit intimidating, but this one manages to keep that traditional elegance without making you feel like you need to whisper in the lobby.

The location is honestly brilliant – and I don’t mean that in the typical “convenient for shopping” way everyone always says. What I loved was that you’re right there in Marylebone, which is sort of like discovering London’s best-kept secret neighborhood. You’ve got Regent’s Park literally at the end of the street (perfect for morning runs or just escaping the city buzz), and all these fantastic little cafes and pubs that tourists somehow never seem to find. The Chiltern Firehouse is around the corner if you’re feeling fancy, but honestly, some of my best meals were at the tiny places locals frequent on Marylebone High Street. The tube connections are solid too – Baker Street and Bond Street stations are both close, so you’re never stuck waiting ages for transport.

What really won me over, though, was how the staff seemed to actually know the area. When I asked about late-night food options, the guy at reception didn’t just hand me a generic list – he told me about this 24-hour bagel place on Brick Lane that’s worth the journey, and mentioned that the pub downstairs stays open later than most. Speaking of which, the ground floor pub has this cozy, lived-in feel that’s perfect for a pint after a long day of walking around London. The rooms themselves are what you’d expect from a solid 4-star – nothing revolutionary, but comfortable beds, decent shower pressure, and those lovely high ceilings that make even smaller rooms feel spacious. I will say the street can get a bit noisy on weekend nights (there’s a popular restaurant nearby that draws crowds), but honestly, that’s London for you. The 7.8 rating feels about right – it’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s the kind of place where everything just works, the neighborhood feels authentically London rather than touristy, and you’ll probably find yourself planning your next visit before you’ve even checked out.
