10/10 Excellent

The mandrake is an exceptional hotel, the interior decor is innovative and inspiring for creatives, with beautiful contemporary artwork, and installations, every floor is decadent glamour, there are quiet areas also and you feel like you are not in the centre of London but in a lush tropical location. The food is tasty, as well as the bar area with iconic cocktails. The staff are very friendly and hospitable, we loved our stay there and will return soon

Lively fun hotel. Great location, can walk to SoHo as well as jump on Elizabeth line.
saar, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Bill was £200 more than indicated on Expedia. Room was directly by a bar area, which had a full view into the room. The location was actually an upgrade, not clear why. Cleaners were on the terrace at 6 in the morning talking and waking us up.
Chris, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great service, food and rooms. Noise level a bit high at night
James, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Front desk was often not staffed, yet the hotel requires you to leave the rather large keychain, key and lift fob at reception, leading to long delays getting to the room. Noisy as DJ plays downstairs most nights until 1am. Room not sound proof.
Juha, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Incredible in every way. Cannot wait to stay again.
Josh, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Unusual but lovely

Quite an unusual ‘nightclubby’entrance and hotel theme. Very dark but fun. We had a suite that was perfect, light clean comfortable. Coffee machine, bathrobes, good bathroom amenities,king bed. Unusual selection in the ‘mini bar area’. It was a hot day but room was lovely. and cool. There was music until 1am apparently but we didn’t hear it in our first floor room. Very quiet.Breakfast was fantastic although due to a brand new system it was extremely slow…needs sorting out.

Weekend stay

Fantastic property in the centre of London, provides to sumptuous refuge from the busy streets, great accessibility to events and entertainment. Staff are attentive yet you are given privacy at the same time.

Great vibes
Abdel-qader, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

It turns into a nightclub at night (this was a Saturday). You cannot have a seat and get a quiet drink at your own hotel bar, you need to queue up behind drunk 20 year olds and deal with bartenders with bad attitudes.
Victoria, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

all in all it was splendid, unfortunatly no breakfast due to late start at 08

The Mandrake is a stunningly fitted-out hotel, with exceptional and distinctive decoration and artwork. The staff are wonderful. The cocktails are exceptional. The atrium garden and the lounge areas in it are gorgeous.

Really lovely hotel. My only criticism is that the bathroom did not have a door seaparting it from the bedroom (the sliding door had been removed)

Dee, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very unique hotel. Staff was very welcoming and helpful even when my Expedia reservation was not on file with them. Easy check in otherwise. Lots of interesting touches in the rooms.

8/10 Good

Interesting hotel, the decor is terrific and the staff very helpful. Sitting in the bar area there were so many people coming into the hotel and disappearing into various out of sight rooms, had no idea what was going on but it made it all the more intriguing..lighting is very ‘ambient’, tripped a couple of times in the corridors (I do wear glasses), got lost coming out of the lift on wrong floor, and took me several minutes to get the door to the room open with the strange key lock mechanism. Lovely Full-English breakfast. All in all, certainly a different kind of place to stay in central London and will probably stay again.
