"Great location, steps away from Russel Square tube and 10 minute walk from Holborn. The hotel is also close to bus stops and walkable to British Museum 2 mins and Central London 20 mins. Breakfast was excellent. Hotel is older but well maintained and staff were lovely."

"Great business hotel "

"Clean rooms"

"A vert central hotel that was in a perfect location for where I needed to be and at a price that was very reasonable given prices of other hotels nearby. The queen sized bed was fabulous, although it did not leave much room around it! A great hotel for the price and location. Despite being at the front of the hotel with a window onto the road, it was very quiet. "

"A hotel is close to Paddington Station and all the other sites. The breakfast was excellent! The facilities are obviously old and rundown in the room was very small. "

"Beautiful hotel with wonderful decor. I received a friendly welcome and the check-in process was quick and easy. The room was spacious and comfortable, the pillows and towels in particular were lovely. Overall, a great stay. Would definitely stay here again."

"Internet was good. The bathroom wasn’t gross, but I also wouldn’t say it was very clean. Bed was hard, but the room was super quiet and comfy. You’ll be charged extra for everything you should get for free. Checking in early isn’t an option without a fee, nor is leaving your bags - without a fee. "

"A pleasant stay, ruined by a hidden service charge. On check out a 5% service charge was added to my bill. When questioned I was given the passive aggressive response that the charge was optional and “if you don’t want to reward our dedicated staff then we can remove it”. I felt very pressured in this situation and being unaware of tippping custom had no option but to pay the charge. I sent a follow up review to the hotel and received an unpleasant response that it was mentioned in the hotel registration card - although it was not mentioned in the Expedia price. The hotel must understand that tipping is a deeply nuanced issue - when staying in an expensive hotel we always want to reward the lowly paid service staff, but the way this was presented was unpleasant and felt like social engineering. The Marylebone Hotel is effectively using the status of its service staff to extract an additional 5 pc from customers. I would challenge the hotel - if you really want to reward your staff, then raise their salaries 5 pc and be honest about it in the fee you quote on Expedia. Alternatively, fund the staff pay increase from management fees and let me pay a bonus to management if I enjoy the hotel. My enjoyment of a hotel is dictated more by management than by service staff, so this is a much fairer arrangement. It removes the pressure from guests and rewards the staff you profess to care so much for. I would have given 5 star but have reduced to 1 star as a result. "
