What a fantastic place. Staff were friendly and helpful. Beautiful building, lovely and quiet. Even left me a great take away breakfast as I left too early for the restaurant. Lovely evening meal with good prices. Have recommended to my fellow passengers. Will certainly stay here again. Thank you.

Location beats all

The location is spectacular. There's no doubt it is an old hotel. I believe they are renovating it, slowly. Housecleaning was spotty (clean towels, made bed, but no surfaces wiped down...)

Friendliness and helpfulness of staff, especially Sarah on reception, and Seif in the evening restaurant/bar. Breakfasts exceptional. Meals in restaurant very good. Liked availability of drinking water around the hotel. Would recommend this hotel and definately stay again when next in London. Cannot think of any dislikes

The Tavistock provided us with a clean, comfortable room in a convenient part of the city. The staff was outstanding and does a great job. The only negative was that the hotel is located at a very busy intersection with a lot of road noise. Although the weather was good while we were in London we could not keep the window open at night due to the traffic noise.

Enjoyed our stay. Centrally located with good access to underground and train stations. It was disappointing that we could not pay our bill in cash, the currency of the realm. Otherwise, a comfortable stay.

Functional

Room was small but functional. The double bed was a small double but it was absolutely fine for one person and one night. The room is a little dated with a 80's style carpet in the room and the bathroom was compact but again, very fine for one night & one person. The staff were lovely and the location is perfect and the room even came with a fan for warm nights so its a solid 3.5/5 in my book.

HOT rooms, but overall pretty good

Nice staff, good location, good breakfast...but the room was so HOT! No AC, and no ventilation, meant it was way too warm in our room, which made it hard to sleep.
