Los Angeles, California100 contributions102 helpful votes
I picked this hotel due to the location in Piccadilly since we were seeing shows and wanted to be able to walk to the theatres or have a short taxi ride. This didn't end up being the most convenient, as traffic was at a standstill in the area at night. However, we loved this hotel. When we arrived, we were offered champagne/orange juice/sparkling water, which was refreshing and a wonderful start to the fabulous stay. The pictures of the rooms on the website don't do the rooms justice. The whole interior of the hotel is so tranquil and peaceful from the craziness of the Piccadilly area. There were chocolate dipped strawberries in the room when we checked in, which were a nice touch to the already wonderful room. We opted to have both the afternoon tea downstairs and full English breakfast as well during our stay, and both did not disappoint. The breakfast was not as heavy as the traditional breakfast usually is, and included a large amount of fruit, which helped. I don't look like the typical clientele of this level of hotel, but I never felt looked down upon or discriminated against while walking around, and everyone was so professional. The one challenge was getting a taxi one evening -- I don't know if the doorman realized we were guests -- but this didn't impact my satisfaction. The only regret of our stay was that we had things planned each day and night, so we didn't have time to just relax in the room, and we hated to leave!

My wife and I stayed at the beautiful Hotel Cafe Royal for my birthday. The hotel itself and the room we stayed in were stunning. Everything and more you would expect from a five star hotel. But the best thing about our stay without a doubt were the fabulous staff. From the moment we checked into the hotel everyone was so attentive friendly and incredibly helpful. From the glass of champagne on arrival from the reception team to all the restaurant and bar staff and the concierge team ,we were so well looked after it was outstanding! Cannot recommend the Cafe Royal highly enough. Perfect in every way. Thank you!

Wonderful hotel, and an even more wonderful service. Everything you could wish for will be fulfilled and delivered to you. The breakfast is great, rooms are spacious and super clean. Gym is the biggest and most equipped I know in London. Have to mention Valentin Lemeunier took especially good care of our stay and stepped everything to the next level - thank you Valentin and looking forward to being back soon

Indeed it is a 5 star hotel very well located and the main differentiation is the excelence of the service. A great example… the Concierge had indicated for us a restaurant close to the hotel. When we arrived there, the host apologized about their mistake and told us that actually they were full. When we left the restaurant we met Mr. Gladstone (from Concierge)! He came after us because the restaurant called him to explain about the misunderstood. He scorted us all way long to another restaurant and the dinner was amazing. Mister Glad, thanks for being so kind and profesional. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

All the staff at Hotel Cafe Royal were very welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout our whole weekend stay, they could not do enough to help us. My husband and I had our 9yr old and 5month old with us and the room was even more amazing than we were expecting. We had more than enough room for all our things, and the bath and shower were incredible. Our meal at Cakes & Bubbles was excellent, the food and the service could not have been better. The hotel is in the perfect location for getting around London and we managed to do lots of site seeing on foot and via the Tube.
