사람들이 좋아하는 이유
- 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
한눈에 보기: A high-concept luxury hotel that trades natural light for impeccable soundproofing and speakeasy vibes.
@lisa_jetset님의 리뷰: 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.

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

객실 요청 지니 – 복사 & 붙여넣기

자주 묻는 질문 및 숨은 팁
예약하기 전에 실제로 알고 싶은 모든 것.
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.
내부자 팁
- ✨
The 'Balcony' library on the first floor is often empty and a perfect spot for a quiet Zoom call.
- ✨
You can book the 'Green Room' experience at QT for a private table and meet-and-greet with artists.
- ✨
Ask the concierge to book your slot at AIRE Ancient Baths well in advance; it sells out days ahead.
가기 전에 알아야 할 5가지
💡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.
