The location was perfect for where I needed to be. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was good. The rooms have quite low ceilings, and the lighting scheme is very dark, so it feels even more dark all the time. I just wouldn't call this a 5-star hotel along the lines of others in that category, so if you don't set your expectations like that, you will be happy.
Middle Eight is a beautiful hotel and the staff was fabulous!

Middle eight had one of the smallest bathrooms i have seen. About equal to a Viking river ship cruise. Not enough storage to unpack your bag. The room was a singles room posing as a double.
Great location, beautiful room, very friendly staff and excellent cocktails in the bar. I can’t fault it and we had a lovely weekend in a superb location near Covent Garden but on a comparatively quiet street. Very good value for a hotel of that quality too. We will be back
The staff were amazing. Very professional but also very inviting and informative. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area. I will definitely stay there again.
Great vibe. Convenient location. Breakfast great. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms small. Automated lights take a bit of getting used to. Room service fast and delicious! Would stay again.
