I have enjoyed staying there since I discovered it in 1998. Yes the rooms were somewhat old and tired, but the atmosphere was friendly and safe. And a perfect location, particulary as I come up via Charing Cross. Alas the Credit Crunch seems to have bitten and the hotel is now closed :( If any of the staff read this review- thanks for many comfortable stays and I hope the future brings better fortune.

Hi,

Two years ago, two colleagues of me, went for business to london and stayed over at the royal adelphi hotel!
End of this month, they need to go back for some more businessmeetings.
They loved the hotel, but apparently the website, email, telephone aren't working anymore?
Anyone knows if the hotel is still open or did they close their doors????

thanx
sophie

Disregard the date that I was forced to check on this website.

I first stayed at the Royal Adelphi in 1986 and the last time in 2002. I found it simple, clean, friendly and the greatest location for the price in all of London. Right on the Thames, behind Charing Cross station. It's walking distance to everything I want to see in London. Anything else I can reach by tube. I will be staying there again this year.

I stayed at royal Adelphi hotel in October 2008. The hotel was not fantastic but it was clean.
However... the furniture, bathroom, and carpet must have been installed before the 2nd world war.
Despite the perfect location of the hotel I would NOT recommend it to people that enjoy London’s nightlife and need to sleep in the morning until late. The cleaner will disturb your sleep a lot of times. They start around 10:00 to knock your door and enter the room. From 11:00am to 12:00 you can be disturbed and woke up 6 times at least. I asked for a “Do Not Disturb” card at the reception desk but there were not any available… I left a message for the cleaner not to enter my room on the next morning but again it didn’t work. You can’t escape from them. At 13:30 they usually finish work but it’s over… they had already ruined your sleep.
