The Londoner

The Londoner Overview

First Impressions

Walking into The Londoner on Leicester Square honestly feels like stepping into something from a movie — and I mean that in the best way possible. This five-star hotel sits right in the thick of things, where you can literally hear the buzz of street performers and see the glow of West End theaters from the entrance. The lobby has this sophisticated energy that somehow manages to feel both grand and welcoming, which isn’t always easy to pull off in London.

Location Magic

You know what’s brilliant about this spot? You’re basically at the center of everything without feeling overwhelmed by it. Leicester Square can get pretty hectic — especially on weekend evenings — but once you’re inside, there’s this perfect buffer from the chaos. I mean, you can walk to Covent Garden in about three minutes, hit Oxford Street for shopping, or catch a show in the West End without even thinking about transport. The couples who stay here absolutely love it (they rate the location 9.7, which honestly makes sense), and I get why — there’s something romantic about being able to stroll through the heart of London together.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was actually quite impressive — modern luxury without being cold or sterile. What struck me most was how they’ve managed to create this sense of space despite being in such a dense part of the city. The windows are properly soundproofed too, which you’ll appreciate when the square gets lively below. The bathroom feels like a proper retreat, and honestly, after a long day of walking around London, that rainfall shower hits differently.

Dining and Breakfast

The breakfast situation here is pretty stellar — they’ve got everything from a full English to vegan options, plus continental and gluten-free choices. What I really appreciated was that it’s set up as a buffet, so you’re not waiting around for service when you’re eager to get out and explore. The restaurant itself has this warm atmosphere that makes you want to linger over coffee, even when Leicester Square is calling just outside.

Why Guests Love It

Look, there are plenty of luxury hotels in London, but this one gets the balance right between location and experience. You’re not sacrificing comfort for convenience or vice versa — you actually get both. The staff seem to understand that most guests are here to experience London, not just the hotel, so they’re genuinely helpful with recommendations and directions. Plus, there’s something to be said for falling asleep in the heart of one of the world’s great cities and waking up ready to dive right back in. The 9.1 rating speaks for itself, but honestly, it’s those little moments — like stepping out for a late evening walk through the illuminated square or grabbing morning coffee before the crowds arrive — that make this place special.

The concierge service in London arranges private palace salons, bespoke Savile Row fittings, and river yachts at twilight.

• Monica from Sweden (8/10)

  Smooth check-in, got a glass of sparkling wine at the residence. The doorman was really friendly and helpful.
  Our room was on the small side, but with a beautiful view over the London eye. Bed was comfortable.

• Farooq from United Kingdom (10/10)

  It’s very nice hotel like the club lounge gym spa

• Vasi from United States (10/10)

  We really enjoyed our stay and the exceptional help and assistance whenever we needed it. The only thing that could have been improved would have been the size of the room. For two people, it was rather small (particularly for the price that we paid)and there was little room to set up my computer since the table was so close to the bed. We should have been given a larger room. The Londoner is beautiful and the food exceptional, but next time, please let the guest know size of rooms that are available. Thank you.
