This hotel has so much character and charm. The bed was comfortable, and the staff was so nice. I chose this hotel because I was nervous about waking by myself from the theater late at night. The location is perfect for that -- the walk was very short through a hopping neighborhood that felt safe. I wouldn't bring someone here who who expects all the luxuries. This hotel is very comfortable but has some quirks.
For example, the bathroom fixtures are small and tucked away in odd places, the floor is rickety, and the common area carpets aren't perfectly clean. To me, this added to the charm, but I'm glad my less flexible family members weren't with me.

First time staying at Hazlitts, and I can honestly say what an experience! We stayed in the Duke of Monmouth suite on the top floor of the hotel. Our suite was adorned in vintage furnishings and authentic oil paintings kitted with two mini bars, a ginormous bath in the bedroom, and we also we had the luxury of enjoying a private roof terrace for the summer evening. The room was nothing short of stunning, draped in opulence in every nook and cranny.
The staff are extremely friendly and professional and really take the time to make your experience memorable. Special thanks to Roberto, for his amazing welcome and tour of the hotel. Will definitely be returning for a longer stay very soon.

A beautiful butiqe hotel in soho. Close to everything and all the main tube lines. The design is amazing with antique furniture. We had a walking shower which I think it's the best shower I ever had. The stuff were very kind and welcoming. We ordered 2 first nights at the deluxe room and another 2 nights for the superior double (because we changed dates on the last minute- we originally wanted to stay at the superior double).
After all, it was worth it because they told us we can stay at the deluxe room for no extra charge. Finally breakfast was very very good and fresh and served to our room. Lovely experience. We will come back again :).

A haven of peace in the middle of Soho. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Beautiful rooms and a large slice of character make it even better. I've used the Rookery (sister hotel) before and this is just as good but with its own feel. Can't wait to try Batty Langley's out next!

I just want to thank you all for our wonderful stay on behalf of me and my family. We booked two rooms, one for my mother, who was celebrating her 82nd birthday, and her husband, and one for myself and my partner. It was wonderful to walk into the hotel to be able to spend time with four generations of family, especially as my mother had to cancel her 80th birthday party two years ago due to Covid. Hazlitt's was perfect.
The location, the hospitality, the art, the ! And I was so glad to hear that things are finally getting back to normal for you guys, and also understand how tough it has been for us all in the hospitality industry, and the challenges we are all facing still. You shine. And we will most definitely be back! All the best from Catherine, Terry, Ruth, Jim, Rachel, Lucy, Joe and little Logan!

A gorgeous little hotel with lots of character in its wonky structure and beautiful decor. It's location was perfect, in the middle of Soho and a stone's throw away from all the great food and drink. The staff were lovely and made our stay very comfortable!

Very comfortable and pleasant hotel to visit. Staff very helpful. There isn't a restaurant here but the breakfast is served in your room - plenty of variety.
