In her detailed review of the W London Hotel in Leicester Square, Hanna Ricketts offers an honest and light-hearted assessment of her one-night stay at the trendy, centrally located five-star property. The stay, which cost £570 for a Saturday night including breakfast, showcased the hotel's playful, high-energy design with mirrors, disco balls, and a tech-forward room setup, including iPad-controlled lights and entertainment. The room itself was small but well-designed, with a king-size bed, city view (though underwhelming), modern decor, and spotless cleanliness. Hanna appreciated touches like the complimentary biscuits, quality bedding, face wash amenities, and a Marshall Bluetooth speaker. However, she found the hard mattress uncomfortable and the tiled flooring too cold. The lack of a bath, limited storage, and awkward bathroom lighting were also noted downsides. Room service was pricey but surprisingly tasty, with the cold club sandwich still earning praise for its flavour. The real highlight was the exceptional service. From the doormen to the restaurant staff, every team member went above and beyond to create a welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast offering was generous and well-executed, with guests able to choose from multiple hot and cold items, juices, smoothies, and sides—adding significant value to the stay. Ultimately, Hanna concludes that the W London is a love-it-or-hate-it experience. It is best suited for guests looking for a vibrant, modern, and central base in London. While not ideal for longer stays or those seeking quiet luxury, it delivers solid value in its location and atmosphere, particularly for a one-night city break.
