The hotel itself is gorgeous and very modern, and I noticed local people like to hang out at the bar to work even if they're not residents at the hotel. The room was big and probably one of the best decorated hotels I have been to.

Ideally situated in London, The Kings Arms Pub & Boutique Rooms features a buffet breakfast and free WiFi. Boasting a bar, the hotel is close to several noted attractions, around 600 metres from Oxford Circus, 700 metres from Oxford Street and 1 km from Tottenham Court Road. The accommodation offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage for guests.

The hotel was beyond our expectations. The location is excellent, a few minutes walk from Oxford Street and public transport. The room is beautiful and very clean. The staff is very nice and very helpful. The breakfast is basic but was exactly what we wanted, you can pay extra for a hot breakfast. Perfect hotel hope to come back again. The stairs to the room are steep, it didn't bother us, but those who have difficulty with stairs should take this into account.

    Was given a free upgrade when I checked in - into a king size room with a view of the Thames and London Eye. The room was very clean, comfortable and warm. The bathroom had a bath and shower cubicle. Excellent buffet breakfast and the afternoon tea was also very enjoyable. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Ideal location for walking to theatres, shops etc but also immediately adjacent to Embankment tube station, and only a hop across the bridge to Waterloo station. I would definitely stay here again.

    Clean, comfortable and ideal location. Host was in contact with us as soon as booking was made. We text on arrival to say we were there and got a lovely welcome. I asked for it to be cleaned well as I have a son with a severe peanut allergy and it was spotless. The beds are comfortable. Apartment was warm and showers were good pressure. There wasn’t any noise at night and couldn’t hear anything from other apartments. We were a party of 4 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of room.
