The hype
Guests are consistently blown away by the location and the silence of the rooms.
Hotel Cafe Royal
$750-2,200+/ νύχτα
Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want to sleep in a soundproof limestone fortress directly above the chaos of Piccadilly Circus.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- The Akasha Spa is a legitimate subterranean wellness temple, not just a basement gym
- Triple-glazed windows make the rooms dead silent despite the location
- Historic Oscar Wilde vibes in the Grill Room meet ultra-modern minimalism in the bedrooms
Γρήγορη Ματιά: A masterclass in soundproofing that feels more like a modern zen monastery than the gilded palace the lobby suggests.
Αξιολόγηση από @dfmarin: I felt like I was living in a movie here. The suite was massive, and seeing my initials on the pillow was such a classy touch. Breakfast in my robe while watching London wake up below was the highlight of my trip. You have to try the pool, it's stunning.

Δαίμονας Δωματίου – αντιγραφή & επικόλληση

Συχνές ερωτήσεις & Κρυμμένες συμβουλές
Όλα όσα πραγματικά θέλεις να ξέρεις πριν κάνεις κράτηση.
Is it noisy being right on Piccadilly Circus?
Shockingly, no. The soundproofing is industrial-grade. You can watch the buses but can't hear them.
Does the hotel have a pool?
Yes, a massive 18-meter lap pool in the Akasha spa, plus a hydrotherapy Watsu pool.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not. It costs around £35-42 per person if purchased separately.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes! The hotel is pet-friendly and pets often stay for free (confirm specific policy at booking).
What is the 'Portland Stone' design?
Rooms feature walls made of rusticated stone blocks, giving a modern, minimalist, almost brutalist feel.
Is there a dress code?
Smart casual is expected in public areas, especially the Grill Room and Green Bar.

5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε
💡The room lighting controls can be bafflingly complex to master.
💡There is a £5 'tray charge' for room service on top of the service charge.
💡The 'Watsu' pool is a hidden gem for hydrotherapy often empty when the main pool is busy.
💡Some 'courtyard' views are essentially staring at a brick wall.
💡The hotel sits on a triangular island, so almost every room has a unique shape.
