Interesting hotel, the decor is terrific and the staff very helpful. Sitting in the bar area there were so many people coming into the hotel and disappearing into various out of sight rooms, had no idea what was going on but it made it all the more intriguing..lighting is very ‘ambient’, tripped a couple of times in the corridors (I do wear glasses), got lost coming out of the lift on wrong floor, and took me several minutes to get the door to the room open with the strange key lock mechanism. Lovely Full-English breakfast. All in all, certainly a different kind of place to stay in central London and will probably stay again.

Dissapointing experience.
Over the weekend, the Mandrake transforms into a bar/club with accommodations situated above it. Unfortunately, our stay was marred by subpar service and a lack of attentiveness, exacerbated by concurrent events on both Friday and Saturday nights. Prospective guests should exercise caution and verify event schedules during their stay, as hotel guests do not receive preferential treatment over walk-in bar customers. It is advisable to secure a reservation for a table in the bar in advance. The staff's performance left much to be desired; they engaged in unnecessary disputes, such as contesting the absence of a bottle opener in our room instead of promptly providing a replacement. Furthermore, I encountered difficulties gaining entry to the bar on two occasions due to wearing an outdoor coat and hat in frigid -2°C weather. Our experience in the Terrace room was underwhelming, considering its petite size relative to the associated cost. Additionally, the absence of room service for food further detracted from the overall appeal of our stay. We will not be returning.

Putting the record straight
Stay was fine , slept like a log in the big bed , English breakfast was good quality ingredients, eggs were clearly free range After making the booking I read the reviews, which were mixed , which made me a little concerned …. As we generally only stay in 5* hotels , and don’t normally feel a need to leave a review as they are what you expect However on this occasion I feel that it is only right that we comment The hotel is privately owned and a one off boutique, which is decorated in all areas with original one off furniture and fine art , it is NOT your usual travel lodge magnolia blandness . There is even live music in the later part of the week evenings The staff were welcoming, taking our bags to our rooms and showing us around , the lady who checked us both in and out also explained before checking in, that if we were to wanted complete quiet in our room towards the end of the week she would choose our room carefully for us We have already decided to stay at the mandrake when in London next month P.s. if you want to stay a in a hotel with character stay here , if not … not book it

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in
This is not a 5 star hotel by any stretch of the imagination. It was dirty, smoky and old, and attracted some of the most undesirable people in London. Music was blaring all night on Friday and Saturday and they left me a nice little inexplicable charge on my credit card after I left despite the fact, I did not order anything at all during my stay there. In fact, even if I wanted to order some thing it would not be possible because the phone never worked in the room. Horrible place.

I was not aware that this hotel is an “adult party” hotel. There is paraphernalia in the rooms and the rooms are small and unappealing. If you are into adult partying etc, that’s great but it would have been nice to know that was the theme of the hotel.

Nightclub with rooms.
Atrocious stay. Zero sleep. It’s a nightclub with rooms and management don’t care about it. Wish we’d read the reviews first. Other people leaving the hotel saying the same at reception. There seems to be a standard script - because what we were told and what we were offered mirrored the previous reviews (not to mention promises reneged on too). Absolutely the worst hotel decision I’ve made in years.
