solid vacation hotel
The rooms were somewhat small, but average by european standards. Breakfast was very pricey. There was a take out bar to get coffee and sandwiches with reasonable prices and the staff was very pleasant. The hotel was near 3 tube stations, which made it very easy to get around. Regents Park was only a block away and very nice to walk though.

City break
The hotel overall is average. The foyer, bar, restaurant are all very nice, and definitely worthy of the 4 star rating, if not a little steep on prices. We had a classic room, and even though it was nice, it had seen better days. Furniture was tired and could do with a major make over. That said, the room was spotless and was kept very clean. At check in, they tried very had to up sell to a better room, but the price was high. Location not bad, easy walk to Oxford street. There is a open-top bus stop right beside the hotel, so that was handy. So, average overall. Have stayed in a few Melia's hotels, and the White house is at the bottom of the pile only because of the tired room.

Weekend visiting family (decided for hotel quietness)
The hotel was really great. Well connected and very central. Close to 3 subway stations, 2 stops from Piccadilly and Victoria, 1 from Euston. Nice reasonable-sized rooms - we were upgraded to an apartment!!! Awesome breakfast although a bit pricey but if you become a member (free) its 50% off. The gym was nice and unused which was also great. Best hotel I have stayed at in London for a while! Overall I highly recommend you stay here - unless you have enough money for one of those 5 star places ;) ;)

Good Hotel
Good hotel, but actually expected to be a better one. Lobby area looked amazing, Christmas decorations were fantastic too! Room itself was quite small (and look sort of different to what we saw on their website), we also thought our bathtub itseld could be cleaner! other than that room was cosy and clean.

Great location- great hotel
My boyfriend and I stayed for three nights. Very comfortable bed and nice staff! Close to the attractions and very close to public transportation. The Sightseeing bus stops like right in front of the hotel and tickets can be bought at the hotel. We ordered room service and the food was really good. We would book this hotel again!

Disco
Faulty air conditioning
The air con not only didn't work but kept me awake half the first night. I asked for an engineer to fix it for the second night and he stopped the clanking but it still didn't work. We were not informed that his fix was unsuccessful and they even tried to charge for the room 'upgrade' I had agreed on check-in. Priceless.

Location is great
The location is perfect in a safe area with a tube stop a block from the entrance providing easy acess to London sites. The room , particularly the bathroom was very small(room for only one person to stand). The room was very dusty but the staff tried to clean and make up for the problems. I would stay if travelling alone.

Excellent location and hospitality
Not having been in London in over 10 years I took a stab in the dark and ht the nail on the head. Very close to Regents Park so pack your walking shoes. This hotel also has a hair dryer, in room coffee maker, and an outlet for American appliances. It's a nice walk to the shopping district and restaurants. I will definitely return. Oh - and the Eye and all other sites are just a tube ride away or a nice walk.
