Wilde Aparthotels London Covent Garden

"We stayed here for five nights and really appreciated the ideal location. It was convenient to many of London’s attractions and made getting around the city easy. Check-in was quick and easy, and we appreciated that the hotel was able to keep our luggage for us before our official check-in time. One of my favorite touches was the kettle in the room, which was perfect for making morning tea. The biggest drawback was the size of the room. There was very little space for our luggage, and there was no closet for hanging clothes, which made staying for five nights a bit challenging. Our window also had no real view. Overall, the location and convenient amenities were definite positives, but I would recommend keeping the limited room space and storage in mind when booking for a longer stay."

"First of all: it’s not in Covent Garden. It’s not far away, but then why call it “Wilde Covent Garden”? It’s on the nearby Strand. We’ve stayed in two other Wilde hotels, Cambridge and Liverpool Street, which are great experiences. This one has the same branding and similar room features, but that’s where the similarity ends. First experience: you walk from the street into a thin and brightly lit corridor, which is where “reception” (nice staff with a laptop) is. We left our suitcase for a little while before we checked in, which means they sat on full display in that corridor, not locked away or even out of sight. The rooms are tiny (“compact”, they are called in several reviews). Eventually you’ll find the iron (in a drawer under the bed), but generally everything is tucked away and it’s like staying in a transformer. There’s one bedside table (no room on the other side) and you have to climb across the bed to get to the other side because there’s no gap at the end. The TV didn’t work; it would switch on, but wouldn’t change channel. After a while it stopped even showing one channel, and would just go dark-screen whatever option you chose from the menu. All of this (apart from the TV) is really just about the size, and on the plus side the staff are really nice and helpful. If you’re looking for just a small box to sleep in, in a convenient location, then great. As long as you don’t want to be in Covent Garden, that is."

"We were truly thrilled with our stay at the Wilde Aparthotels Covent Garden in every respect! The location is simply unbeatable – super central and perfect for exploring London. Our room was beautiful, very modern, and really top-notch in terms of amenities. You can tell that small details were thought of here too. We found the filtered tap water in the room to be particularly positive, for example – something you don't find in every hotel. A small note: The standard rooms are rather compact. We were traveling with two carry-on suitcases, and even with those, it got a bit tight at times. It could therefore be a bit difficult with large suitcases. For us, however, that was really just a minor detail and did not affect the great overall impression at all. Otherwise, we really cannot complain about anything and felt very comfortable during our entire stay. For me, one thing is certain: When I come back to London, I already know which hotel I will book. Absolute recommendation!"
