The QT basement bar hosts genuine jazz and cabaret talent, not just hotel lobby filler
Suites with 'indoor gardens' and skylights offer a bizarrely cool, dead-silent sanctuary
Sycamore Vino Cucina serves Italian food that locals actually book tables for
クイックテイク: A high-concept luxury hotel that trades natural light for impeccable soundproofing and speakeasy vibes.
@lisa_jetset によるレビュー: I stayed at Middle Eight for a weekend trip and it’s honestly my new favorite London spot. The design is stunning—gold accents everywhere—and having Covent Garden right outside my door was a game changer. Perfect for a chic city break.

The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the staff's warmth and the 'indoor garden' suites, though some find the lack of street views disorienting.
Reality check
The high-tech lighting controls and lack of natural light in some rooms can make you lose track of time completely.
You are a light sleeper who values silence over a view
You want to stumble from a world-class jazz gig straight into an elevator
You appreciate high-spec tech like Chromecast and Nespresso in every room

ルームリクエストジニー – コピー&ペースト

FAQ と隠された便利な使い方
ご予約前に本当に知りたいことすべて
Is there a pool?
No. They partner with AIRE Ancient Baths nearby, but there is no pool on-site.
Does the hotel have parking?
No on-site parking. The nearest garage is NCP Covent Garden (Parker Mews), about a 3-minute walk.
Are the rooms loud due to the bar?
Surprisingly no. The QT bar is in the basement and soundproofing is excellent.
Can I open the windows?
In 'Street' category rooms, yes, usually slightly. In 'Urban' or 'Suite' categories with indoor gardens, no.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, pets stay for free, which is rare for London luxury hotels.
How much is breakfast?
Around £33.50 per person for the cooked-to-order menu. It's highly rated but pricey.

行く前に知っておくべき5つのこと
💡The 'Middle Eight' name refers to the bridge of a song—the whole hotel is a musical metaphor.
💡The suites' 'outdoor' terraces are actually internal atriums in many cases—don't expect a view of the London Eye.
💡The toiletries are by Anatomē, a high-end wellness brand focused on sleep and relaxation.
💡The building used to be a Methodist church (Kingsway Hall) famous for classical music recordings.
💡There is a hidden 'petrified wood' wall feature in some suites that looks like stone but is actually wood.
