Reception staff are friendly and attentive, lobby and bar area is stunning in contemporary design. Rooms are comfortable and have little touches for example welcome note and cookie dough. Mini bar poorly stocked with little choice of wines, spirits, beers, etc mainly stocked with Diet Coke / cokes. Maid service was terse, English is not widely spoken or understood with our housekeeping staff and although do not disturb was notified as well as verbally we were disturbed three times during the day one after the other. The housekeeping staff banged the door to the stairs so many times and do hard our bedside tables shook and contents fell to the floor. Breakfast was a shambles: chef arguing with staff, waiting for 30 minutes for a cup of tea, having to ask three times for a piece of toast which was half a slice of bread cut into two. Little choice and very rude staff spoiled the hotel. Definitely would not recommend.

The Middle Eight was a wonderful base for the last two days of our honeymoon. Our "Executive" room was spacious and modernly appointed. I enjoyed the soft and dimmable lighting. The hotel was a perfect area for shopping and theatre going, Covent Garden, etc. Hotel staff even came to our room with a small plate of cookies and a handwritten card to congratulate us on our wedding. A very pleasant stay.

Lovely hotel. Really convenient central location. Amenities in room were excellent; toiletries in bathroom, contents of minibar, kettle, coffee machine all included. Nice to be offered a drink at check in (soft drinks or Prosecco) at no extra charge. Member of staff at check in was really good; she asked us our plans and gave a couple of recommendations. I appreciate being able to control temperature of your air conditioning, which is not always a given. Excellent shower and really comfortable bed. Second time staying at this hotel.

This was our second stay at Middle Eight and spent 2 nights at this hotel on this visit. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The property is within walking distance of Covent Garden and is beautifully designed, with a clean and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The room was lovely—spacious by London standards, well-appointed, and immaculately clean. The bathroom is small, but again, average size for a central London hotel. The facilities and service were top-notch. From the friendly and professional staff to the excellent on-site bar, everything exceeded expectations. The breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of options, and everything was fresh and delicious. The veggie option was a welcome change from the usual sad vegetarian sausage and beans option. Will definitely stay here again.
