Gem Langham Court Hotel

The hotel is warm, clean and in a very good location in the centre of London. Just a short walk away from Oxford Street and not far from Soho. In addition, the hotel has a really nice bathroom and shower. Also, the pillows and bed were comfortable. Only down side I would say is that there isn't a mini fridge for if you want to put anything in like a bottle of pop to keep chilled. Furthermore, the hair dryer is a bit annoying by being placed on a cable inside a draw. You have to press and hold a button down while in use. In terms of value for money, I think the hotel was priced highly for its location. For this price point, you'd have thought that breakfast would have been included and the room would include a fridge.

The continental breakfast was good and comprehensive: toast, cheeses, cold cuts, yogurt, cereal, fresh juice, marmalades, sweet pastries. The hotel was old, but nicely renovated and very clean. The staff was very friendly. They gave pre-bottled water free of charge from reception. The location was really central. For example, Oxford street and Regent street were right next door. For example, if you have a concert in Palladium, you can walk from this hotel in about 10 minutes. There are several restaurants right around the hotel. One day we put a "Don't disturb" sign on the door because we thought there was so much of our stuff in the room. We noticed when we came back that a letter had been placed under the door. They had not come for the sign, but let us know that the call only downstairs, so we get, for example, clean towels, etc.

Room 102 was bijou but perfect for an overnight stay for 1 person. Bed was super comfortable with good quality bedding and pillows - super important to me. Nice bathroom and good quality towels, shampoo etc. I will definitely be returning to this hotel as its good value and in a quiet location with an fabulous breakfast stop just down the road. Pleasant lounge just off the main reception which I used to make a few calls. Staff were very helpful and allowed me to leave luggage behind reception while I was out for the day

We arrived very early which was no issue to reception we were able to check in and get all the paperwork done but pick up room keys later which is what we expected. The staff throughout were very polite and helpful a credit to the hotel. Our room was very clean as were all the communal areas. The hotel really could not be better positioned as far enough out of town to provide for a quiet night but close enough to only be a 20 minute walk from the West End shows and shopping areas.

The property really is a hidden Gem in a great location. Lovely great places to eat and drink very close by. Great value for money
