Hazlitt's

This is a special place, a haven of calm in the middle of the West End

There's so much to rave about. From the discrete entrance to the tricked out rooms, and the wonderful location, this is the most memorable experience. Reception is polite and charming. The reception area itself is unremarkable, but the two lounges are really great. I could picture coming here with a big group, renting a number of rooms and using the spaces for convening and hanging out. I was upgraded to a wonderful street facing room "Madame Kennedy." It was one flight up a set of stairs. Not a problem for me, but I believe some of the rooms you can get to using an elevator. I would inquire before arriving to request whatever room you think is appropriate for you. Read the reviews here. Yes, there is street noise from a club across the street. I would bring the noise machine or use an app on your phone if that bothers you. Treat yourself to a room service.

We stayed in the sister hotel Batty Langleys in Shoreditch so we were expecting good things but we were a little disappointed. Having paid almost £750 for 2 nights we were disappointed to be charged £4 for a bottle of still water especially when there was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. The water is not listed on the minibar menu so we assumed it was included (as in most other hotels in the world!). We had a tiny bathroom with a wooden cover with ornate holes in over the window frame rather than glass so was extremely cold! The bathroom door scratched the plaster when it was closed, the toilet was stained and the sink had big cracks in and leaked onto the floor underneath. Good points were the very comfortable bed and pillows, the main areas of the hotel were lovely and the staff were very helpful but unfortunately we won’t be returning.

Hazlitt's is a delightful hotel which combines Georgian charm with contemporary comfort. Our room was attractive and the bed very comfortable. We enjoyed reading in the lounge in front of the fireplace. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is served in the room. The menu is small but the food was well prepared and portions generous. It's in an excellent location for Soho theaters,the British Museum, shopping and dining. Despite the lively weekend street life our room was completely quiet.

A time warp, really, like steeping back into the Regency era. Generally speaking the place was a tad dilapidated, theadbare, but that´s part of charm(sort of).Extremely nice staff, the only negative thing I can think of is, that the closed circuit wiring in our room wouldn´t have been out of place in a certain TV comedy series from the 1970s, starring John Cleese: the bed side lamps couldn´t be operated from the bed. The bank of switches for the whole room was/is absurd, you push one button and the light in the bath room turns on, but when the big chandelier in the ceiling lights up, the bed side lamps die. And so on...It also transpired, that our mobile phones couldn´t be charged overnight without the chandelier jumping to life at the same time, ie. third degree light all night long! The nice gentleman who came to fix the mess, shook his head, apologised, left and...reurned with two bed side lamps, both operational from the bed. I´ll definitely return at some point, bringing a miner´s headlamp, just to be on the safe side...

We were both excited to stay at Hazlitts due to its historical nature. The building and rooms are beautiful. The initial welcome and ambience is slightly cold and lacking in atmosphere. The staff were efficient, although slightly lacking in personality and conversation. The breakfast was nice and efficiently brought to your room at the correct time. Lack of tea and coffee making facilities in the room was rather odd, considering the size of the mini bar. I understand you can order these at a cost, however convenience and choosing the strength of your tea and coffee are important elements for me and my wife. Overall a well situated, beautiful hotel, however in my opinion certain elements could be easily improved.

This hotel gave me the best experience I ever had , So peaceful I could spend days reading those books drinking english black tea and looking through the window to classic London I was in 1930s . I already miss it

Unbeatable location in the center of Soho. Small charming hotel with extremely friendly and helpful staff, very informal. However the room layout hasn't changed since the 18th century.. TV awkwardly placed at an angle on the wall where you can't watch it properly. Lack of plug points - only two in the room and very hard to reach. Worst of all for me was the noise - every time a door shut in the hallway my room shook, and the noise was deafening.. I was on the 5th floor with luggage - but there is no lift..
