Amano Covent Garden
$180-300 / nat
Bestil hvis You want a sexy, high-energy crash pad in the dead center of London and plan to be out (or up at the rooftop bar) until 2am.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Unbeatable Covent Garden location right next to the theatres
- Rooftop bar with stunning views of the London Eye and Shard
- Sleek, moody 'Berlin cool' design that feels more expensive than it is
Hurtig oversigt: It’s basically a nightclub with bedrooms attached, so bring earplugs or join the party.
Anmeldt af @conciergekate: I stayed in the Goldy room at Amano and I'm obsessed. The gold bathtub right by the window is a total vibe, and seeing the London Eye from my balcony made the trip feel so special. It's right in Covent Garden too, so everything is close.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is the rooftop bar free for guests?
Access is priority for guests, but you still pay for drinks. It gets packed, so go early.
Is there a gym?
No. You'll need to use a nearby facility like Jubilee Hall or Nuffield Health.
How small are the rooms really?
Very. The 'Cosy' rooms are ~12 sqm. If you have two large suitcases, upgrade to a 'Roomy' or 'Goldy'.
Can I open the windows?
Yes, windows generally open, but doing so lets in the Covent Garden roar.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not. It's ~£20 for the buffet, but look for the 'Full English' special on the à la carte menu.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, dogs are welcome for a £15/night fee.
Insidertips
- ✨
Skip the £20 buffet and ask for the £7.50 Full English Breakfast at Penelope's—it's a hidden menu gem.
- ✨
The 'Goldy' rooms have bathtubs right in the bedroom with views—perfect for Instagram but maybe awkward for platonic friends.
- ✨
Use the digital check-in to skip the sometimes chaotic front desk queue.
5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The elevators are dark, moody, and can be slow during peak bar hours.
💡The 'courtyard view' is basically a lightwell, but it is significantly quieter than the street view.
💡Housekeeping is aggressive about 12pm checkout—don't push your luck.
💡The lighting in the rooms is 'sexy dim'—doing makeup can be a challenge without your phone flashlight.
💡You might have to push through a velvet rope crowd just to get to the lobby on Friday nights.
