The hype
Reviewers are obsessed with the architecture and rooftop views but divided on the 'too cool for school' service.
Me London
$350-600/ nacht
Boek dit als You want to feel like you're starring in a music video while staying in the dead center of London's theatre district.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Radio Rooftop bar has some of the best skyline views in London (The Shard, London Eye, etc.)
- Futuristic, pyramid-shaped atrium that makes a massive first impression
- Incredible soundproofing that blocks out the chaotic Strand traffic completely
Snel Overzicht: A hyper-styled, 'sexy' hotel where the corridors are darker than a nightclub and the vibe is unapologetically loud.
Beoordeeld door @ReecesPieces_Reels: I felt like a total VIP here. The lobby art is stunning, but waking up to that London Eye view from my balcony was the real highlight. Definitely grab a sunset drink at the Sky Bar – the atmosphere is unmatched and the cocktails are delicious.

Reality check
The 'Mode' (standard) rooms are smaller than they look in photos, and the dark lighting throughout the hotel frustrates older guests.
- You prioritize a buzzing social scene over quiet relaxation
- You love modern, tech-heavy rooms with mood lighting controls
- You are in London for West End shows (you are literally steps away)
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service with turndown. Some reports of missed dust in the complex lighting fixtures.
- Bathroom hygiene: High standard. The black marble bathrooms hide stains well, but grout is usually spotless.
- Maintenance: Modern tech means occasional glitches (lights, blinds). Furniture in high-traffic areas is showing minor scuffs.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, high-thread-count Egyptian cotton. Towels are fluffy and plentiful.
- Odors & scents: Strong signature fragrance in lobby (melon/cucumber notes). Rooms are generally fresh, though some complain of sewer smells in bathrooms during heavy rain.

Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten
- The entrance is actually a small reception; the main lobby is up on the first floor.
- You need your room key to operate the elevators (security is tight).
- Breakfast is a la carte and expensive (~£30); plenty of cheaper cafes are nearby.
Wat je mee moet nemen
- A portable light or phone with a good flashlight (seriously, for the hallways)
- Smart-casual outfits for the rooftop bar (dress code is enforced)
Kamer Genie
Beste keuzes
- Superior ME City View (higher floors) for iconic London views
- Rooms with a 'Bali Shower' (rain shower) for a spa-like feel
Kamers om te vermijden
- 9th-floor rooms directly under the rooftop bar (vibration/noise risk)
- 1st-floor rooms facing the internal atrium (can feel claustrophobic and dark)
Kamer Aanvraag Genie – kopiëren en plakken
“I would love a room on a mid-to-high floor (5th-7th) facing the street for the views, but away from the elevators. Please ensure it is NOT directly under the Radio Rooftop bar to avoid bass noise.”

Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'discretionary service charge' of 5% on your room bill is optional. You can politely ask the front desk to remove it at checkout.
- ✨
Use the side entrance on Aldwych if the main Strand entrance is crowded with rooftop bar queuers.
- ✨
The 'Aura' team (concierge) can sometimes get you into STK or Radio Rooftop even if it's 'fully booked' online.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'hollow pyramid' atrium design means you can hear noise from the lobby bar all the way up the internal balconies.
💡The bathroom sinks are often shallow and splash water everywhere.
💡The elevators can be painfully slow during Friday/Saturday evening rush hours.
💡The 'mood lighting' in the room resets every time you take the key card out, so you have to reprogram it.
💡There is a distinct 'signature scent' pumped into the lobby that some find overwhelming.
