Citadines Trafalgar Square London

"While visiting London, for the second time, I stayed at the Citadines Trafalgar Square. This is my second time staying at this hotel. It is located close to major attractions and the Metro. Easily to reach many attractions within walking distance On either side of reception they have plenty of seating. And just to the right of the reception area is a lounge area and a business corner All the rooms are suites in the hotel. They have Studio’s, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom. I reserved a Studio Suite, due to was just me. The Suite is a good size for 1 to 2 people. It has a kitchenette - utensils, fridge, microwave, hot plate, kettle and dishwasher. The bathroom is on the small size but clean. Besides the wardrobe next the bed, they do have a closet next to the bathroom. Just be aware, every Monday at 12 pm, they have a mandatory fire alarm drill. You do not have to do anything For dining options, they don’t have anything on the property. They do offer breakfast for a cost of £16. They also offer coffee for free, 24 hours a day. They do have a beverage fridge just beside the reception. The beverage fridges have pop, beer and wine. But if you walk outside the hotel and turn to your right and walk up the street towards Trafalgar Square, there will be a Sherlock Holmes Pub and up from there will be a Prezzo Italian Kitchen. If you’re not interested in these restaurants there’s a lot more restaurants in the area. There is a convenience store (Co-Op Food) directly across the street from Charing Cross station, which is about a 3 minute walk from the hotel The price for this hotel is very high even when I am a member of the loyalty program. But you have to remember you’re centrally located in Trafalgar Square. Plus, I went just before the start of the summer months. While staying there, I had no issues. All staff were friendly and attentive. I will certainly come back to this hotel the next time I am in London Points of Interest from hotel: Buckingham Palace - 21 minute walk C.Gars (Cigars) - 18 minute walk Charing Cross Underground Tube - 5 minute walk Churchill Bar & Terrace - 43 minute walk (Uber: £15/$28 CDN) Churchill War Rooms - 11 minute walk Covent Garden - 12 minute walk Davidoff of London (Cigars) - 20 minute walk Harrods - 43 minute walk (Uber: £15/$28 CDN) Heathrow Airport – 47 minute drive (£50-£80/$92-$148 CDN) Hyde Park - 32 minute walk Jermyn Street - 19 minute walk Leicester Square - 10 minute walk London Bridge - 42 minute walk London Eye - 11 minute walk Parliament Buildings/Big Ben - 12 minute walk Piccadilly Circus - 14 minute walk Selfridges - 37 minute walk (Uber: £15/$28 CDN) St James Park - 8 minute walk Tower Bridge - 54 minute walk (Uber : £23/$42 CDN) Westminster Abbey - 14 minute walk Prices for Uber will depend on the time of day"

"Another wonderful three night trip to London, staying in our favourite apart/hotel - CITADINES TRAFALGAR SQUARE. We have been coming here for a very long time and wouldn't stay anywhere else. Everything is so convenient - perfect location, 24 hour complimentary hot drinks in the comfortable foyer lounge, rooms which have exactly what you want for a short stay without blowing the budget (you could stay in The Corinthia over the road with Mariah Carey but you need to sell your house first). The best bit about Citadines is the staff - Vanessa, Francis, Oscar, Ayeesha - all lovely lovely people who give us a big warm welcome every time we come back - it makes a huge difference. We also love the tall blonde lady who looks after breakfasts - she has a tough job managing many people of different languages, nationalities and all different ages, all coming down at different times from the rest of their huge family groups - she works very very hard and deserves lots of credit. Lots of people seem to think they can just come breezing into the dining room and eat everything they want for free.. but they soon realise..... Can't wait to come back!! J&D"

"Location, location, location! Located very close to Trafalger Square and easily walkable to two (Embankment and Charing Cross) tube stations - we were so pleased with this choice of hotel for our one week stay in London! It was during a rate May heatwave, but the air conditioning kept us cool! The size of the room we had (an apartment!) was a luxury compared to other European hotel rooms! Some pro tips if you stay here: 1. Bring earplugs just in case you are on a lower floor (we were on M), there is understandably City street noise. 2. Bring a wash cloth; in Europe, only hand towels are offered and 3. Be prepared to have cleaning service every few days as it is this hotel’s practice to not clean daily. One special note - The toilet had a sink on the back that ran to refill the tank! So you washed your hands and no water was wasted! I took video of it! Lol Everyone we encountered who worked at the hotel was friendly! The hotel was very clean, and, the morning coffee was perfect! The doors require a card to open or you must be buzzed in so it was also very safe! Highly recommend!"
