Tavistock Overnight Stay

This is a lovely hotel in a great location. The room was comfy and clean good for an overnight stay. The breakfast was good and the staff really friendly. The only drawback was the temperature of the shower it would probably be useful to provide instructions for it to get the best temperature. This was a great stay with lovely staff.

Great hotel in super location

This is the 3rd time I’ve stayed here and I think it’s a great find in central London. Staff are always super friendly, rooms are consistent in their comfort and amenities. Location is spot on. Clearly they work hard to provide a great experience for the price. Genuinely impressed!

Tavistock Hotel in February20-27 2025

Room given on arrival was noisy at night due to main road but another was offered and was much better. Reception Staff were always friendly & helpful. Breakfast was well provided for and the staff were friendly & attentive. We would like to make a special mention to the Staff who made our stay that much better - breakfast Waitress Aarti (always a lovely smile and nothing was a problem for her) and the evening Doorman Emmanuel who always had a big smile & greeting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here & would strongly recommend it to anyone.

Breakfast good, staff friendly, room OK

Good hotel for a night in London, a bit of a disconnect between the luxe atmosphere they appear to be offering in the foyer area versus the state of the rooms. Rooms a little dated and mine unfortunately had a few long hairs on the bathroom floor, it was a one night stay so I didn't feel the need to mention it to staff but had I been staying longer, I probably would have. Nice plump pillows and clean bedding. Breakfast is certainly a highlight and staff very friendly!
