Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

8/10 Good
"The accommodation is newly fitted out and the pods are purpose-built and of high quality. Staff members very friendly and helpful. Be aware that everything about this accommodation, including entry to the building, relies on a pass with a QR Code downloaded to your phone. My only complaint is that their booking software is totally out of control. For one booking you will be inundated with what seems like dozens of messages, most of them duplications."

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

8/10 Good
"My first two nights I was in an older room. There wasn’t even a coffee pot that was a bit of a bummer. Lots of noise and construction going on all night long the rooms without air-conditioning. You have to open up the window so it’s very noisy. Cute little bar and café on site. I moved to another room for two more nights, and that was a much better room higher up with air-conditioning bigger and worth the extra cost. With all that being said, it’s all about location, location, location, and this one has it. There’s a Mark and Spencer‘s right across the street shopping pharmacy and all the food restaurants, pubs, music, plays and comedy clubs all a 10 minute walk."
