Courthouse Hotel 21 Great Marlborough Street, London W1F 7HL

"Great bar in the hotel. Relaxed, informal, nice atmosphere. There’s lots of history with this hotel. It’s a former Magistrates Court and the prison cell blocks are even situated as sitting areas in the bar. Go check it out! I’ve even had afternoon tea here which was exceptional."

"First of all, I would NOT call it a 5 star hotel, no matter what they claim. But, if you book knowing what to expect, it is a great place to stay. Positives: -The location in Soho is great- just at the entrance to Carnaby St. and Liberty store. And walking distance to Covent garden, Oxford St., and Leicester Sq. -The breakfast was good and the room was a good size, very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. -They also do have a conceirge that was very helpfull Negatives: -It feels outdated, like it needs a serious makeover. -We had a small problem with the check in, when at first they couldn't find our reservation, and when they did- they claimed that it didn't include breakfast although we made sure it did before booking. When we showed the receptionist the emails cofirming our room indeed included breakfast she said it was a mistake, but let us have the breakfast anyway."

"Beautifully refurbished Marylebone Magistrates court into nice pleasant well placed hotel. Don't be put off by the brass plaques on the front entrance which still claims to be a courthouse. Staff were helpful and when I explained that in a previous life I attended the old Court, the concierge showed me and my partner around. Some cells have been retained and No.1 courtroom is still intact. A very happy experience"

"This hotel does not feel 5 star at all. I would say 3 star at best. The carpets are grubby and rooms are tired looking. The reception is underwhelming and the rooms aren’t even ready by 3pm which they claim is the check in time. Price wise it is okay given the location but the service is nothing to write home about - transactional & not particularly welcoming or informative. The mini bar is empty and the biscuits in the room are stale. Fine as a business traveller hotel but I wouldn’t be rushing back."

"There are mixed reviews about this hotel, but I found it just fine. Staff is super helpful and responsive. The breakfast was very good in the morning and I like the fact they had generous hours. The bed was very comfortable. I liked the pillows too. Our coverlet could be a little larger for a king bed, but we were fine. Housekeeping was outstanding! Afternoon Tea was great. Everyone is very polite. Great location to Carnaby area and Oxford Circus Tube."
