“All the storage space was in the bathroom!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012 via mobile

Stayed here for 5nights this week. We had not realised there was such extensive work going on in Leicester Square which reduced access to the hotel and made all footwear very muddy. I am sure the picture when we booked was of the Raddison Hampshire not the one we were located in which is the old Leicester Square Hotel. This one had a small reception desk, a bar and restruant which was closed when we arrived and never seemed to have any one in it. The room was very clean, but ALL the storage space was in the bathroom, even hanging rails and draws. Another strange feature was the glass door between bathroom and room (not clear!) . Also there was no shaving/makeup mirror and dreadful lighting so very difficult for makeup (no mirror at allin main room). Seemed to have a lot of trouble with key cards. The whole place was very lean and the staff were really helpful and polite.

Dear Baker

Our Very Best wishes from the Radisson Edwardian Leicester Square Hotel team. I am very grateful for your feedback following your stay.

I have read with interest your feedback and would like to take this opportunity to apologise for any inconvenience you experienced due to what appears to be mostly design led issues. We do have a small percentage of bedrooms where the wardrobe is located as you enter the bathroom, not to everyone’s taste I accept. All bedrooms at the Leicester Square Hotel do have shaving mirrors, we are in midst of replacing these to a higher quality spekkio product to make you aware, perhaps the bedroom was due installation and otherwise let, if this was the case, please accept my apologies.

We do have 2 hotels located on the south terraces of Leicester Square, The Hampshire Hotel a 5 Star Hotel and the Leicester Square Hotel a 4 Star Hotel. I am not sure which website you used to reserve, we have completed various scans of 3rd party websites to ensure photography is correct. If you do wish to let me know which website you searched on please do call me on the telephone number below.

The Leicester Square development programme is due to finish on or around mid April this year, whilst it is not ideal, all businesses around the Square and streets leading into the Square are excited to have the re-launch pending in mid April 2012.

Thanks again for your feedback and I am looking forward to seeing you soon. Please feel free to contact me at any stage should I be able to assist you with your plans on direct line 020 7451 0220.

See you soon at the Hampshire and Leicester Square Hotels.

“Good and well-placed hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

Very nice hotel in a central location. The Tube, Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square all within walking distance. Good-sized and well-appointed room. Very stylish bar. Breakfast OK but served in the bar (at low tables).

Dear Cat

Warm wishes from the Radisson Edwardian Leicester Square Hotel team. I am very grateful for your feedback following your stay.

It is fair to say that our location is much coveted by most, there are an amazing array of London's iconic sights within walking distance and the Hotel has recently enjoyed a full refurbishment so it's appearance is fresh and current. The Bar which you refer to is actually the seafood brassiere restaurant with a bar extension !! It is very stylish indeed and did you know that Leicester Square hotel guests can also use the nearby Hampshire Hotel's café, terrace and restaurant and charge items back to their account in the Leicester Square hotel so spoilt for choice and atmospheres really.

Thank you again for your feedback and I am looking forward to seeing you soon. Please feel free to contact me at any stage should I be able to assist you with your plans on direct line 020 7451 0220.

Our Warmest wishes from the Hampshire and Leicester Square Hotels.

“Lovely hotel in the middle of everything”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel is very lovely. Great inexpensive food, although there plenty of places to eat just outside. There's nothing else to say really, it's on the square and china town is near by, so many other shows/ musicals are right there or within short walking distance. Shopping on regent st/ oxford st and other hidden gems behind oxford st.

When I stayed there, there was so much noise from the renovations on leicester square, but only if you opened the window. You could barely hear it from inside. The room was MASSIVE for a london hotel. Enjoy.

Dear Reviewer

Warm wishes from the Radisson Edwardian Leicester Square Hotel team. I am very grateful for your feedback following your stay.

It sounds like you enjoyed a great night out on the town! Our location certainly does lend itself towards a busy night as there is so much to do literally on our doorstep. Whatever your passion our Concierge will be delighted to plan an action packed evening for you, from the Hampshire & Leicester Square Hotels pretty much all the major west end theatres are well within walking distance so exploring London becomes a lot easier.

Thank you again for your feedback and I am looking forward to seeing you soon. Please feel free to contact me at any stage should I be able to assist you with your plans on direct line 020 7451 0220.

“great location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

the hotel is in a great location for galleries, theatre, shopping and sight seeing
The hotel room was very small for the fairly high 'out of season rate' but very clean and well decorated.......on the down side, our room 509 was located next to noisy air conditioning ducting at the rear of the hotel....there was a constant loud droning noise coming from it.....perhaps updated glazing could remedy this?......i requested a different room because of the noise, the receptionist said that there was nothing he could do at such a late hour and he would pass the details on to the day shift......this request wasnt followed up by reception!
We had also found on two seperate evenings, glasses and ice buckets had been dumped directly outside our door, this was reported to reception with nothing actioned and needed follow up phone calls to get them moved.....it seemed the staff couldnt be bothered!
The cooked breakfast was mediocre at best but there was a good continental selection.
i have previously stayed in Radissons I wouldnt use this hotel again.

Room Tip: choose a room to the front of the hotel as rooms at the rear looks out onto the fire escape and air...
