Thank you very much for your kind comments. Myself and all the staff at The Cumberland love to hear how happy our guests feel during their stay. Being away from home on a business trip can sometimes be uncomfortable. I hope you come and visit us again, next time on a leisure trip. Kind regards. Ian Peck. More

Booked in for work, had an inner room that face in the inner courtyard, very noisy due to humming aircon and single glazing. The room had recently been decorated, but done cheaply, as there was overpainting on all the fixtures. The standard double was very small, but has all the facilities, staff were friendly.

Great location by the Marble Arch, walking distance to Oxford street and edgware road. Massive hotel, good and clean rooms, service has improved very much since my last stay. Would recommend for solo/family/friends travelers.
