Hazlitt’s is a charming spot—small, elegant, and full of personality. It’s a townhouse-style hotel with antique furniture and historic touches, but still super comfortable with great air con (a rare find in older buildings like this). The vibe is really cozy and welcoming. Staff super friendly. There’s a cute library and a few sitting rooms where you can relax, plus an honour bar which gives it a bit of a homey feel. The minibar in the room had a great selection too—not just the usual boring stuff. I stayed in a single room that was small but really lovely, with a beautiful clawfoot tub. I didn’t try the breakfast, but I liked that you could have it delivered to your room or eat in one of the lounges instead of a formal dining room. The location is amazing—right in the heart of Soho—but that does mean some nighttime noise. If you’re a light sleeper, ask for a room on a higher floor. Overall, a great pick if you’re after something with charm and character in a lively part of London.

Charging connections - no USB or USBc ports, which perhaps isn't surprising for an older building - make sure you have a charging device with traditional plug.

I almost don’t want to write this review because it’s the kind of place you want to keep secret! I’ve been coming to London for years, and this is, hands down, my favourite place. It’s absolutely gorgeous, the decor, the style… it’s sumptuous & luxurious, and every detail is meticulous. Beds are outrageously comfy with the crispiest of linen. The staff are amazing, even being so polite when I was late out of my room due to a call, and letting me sit in the lounge to finish my work. Breakfast in bed was just divine. And the honesty bar.. yeah, that got me into trouble LoL! Thank you to everyone for your polite, professional service. What a treat xx

Room was very well decorated, and had a lovely style to it. Very historic building in a great location. Extremely close to Soho and Theatreland, so perfect for nights out to the theatre and more. TV in the room was very easy to use and you get Free Wi-Fi, It is very simple to cast from a smart phone or tablet straight to the TV - can be done in seconds with no passwords or complicated setup needed, so you can use your own Netflix/Prime/Disney if you want to watch TV in bed. The bathroom had a lovely bath/shower in it, which was very easy to use. We didn't use the in-room mini-bar. However, it looked like it was well stocked. There was also a lovely bar/reading room downstairs with an "honesty bar" in it, where you can just help yourself and write what you had in the book so they could charge it to your room. Everything was easy and although the staff were on-hand 24/7, we didn't need them once.

Be aware, the hotel take a £70 per night deposit from you if you're not paying with a credit card. This was not made clear before arrival, so was a bit of a surprise. It was, however, refunded immediately upon checking out so didn't hinder the stay at all - just plan ahead if you're limited on funds. The bed was also VERY high off the ground, and we had to climb up on to it - I'm 5ft 8 and my partner is 5ft 10, so this was a little surprising - shorter people would have a hard time with this. Depending on which room you're in, some of the floors are also sloped which can be quite disorienting when you're walking around.

The room was absolutely lush. The decore is unique and simply stunning. The arrangements for the sink is interesting - in a fancy cupboard - but totally works. I didn't use the shower - wasn't brave enough - but all facilities were good. Loved that the hotel uses Bumboo (i use them too) as a means to be sustainable. The room was warm and had a surprising amount of products in the fridge and the food cupboard. The only surprise was the lack of a kettle and tea/coffee; however I asked at the reception and was provided a complimentary tea and the kettle. The staff in the hotel is exceptionally helpful and pleasant. The place is a walking distance to West End, and while you're walking to any of the theatres you can grab a drink or go shopping too since there is a busy shopping street nearby.

The only thing to bear in mind is that there is a pub nearby, and with that come loud people. The room has additional windows installed so this muffles the sound a good deal, but still bear in mind that you'll hear loud people just across the road.

Charming cozy boutique hotel centrally located for maximum sightseeing and evening revelry. Bed felt luxuriously comfortable. Old fashioned bathtub was insanely nice, best bath I've ever taken, as were the toiletries. Room amenities were perfect. The hotel is smaller than I had anticipated but the room was wonderful and I enjoyed drinks with friends in the library. Even though I was politely warned about construction noise I never heard any. If you prefer Old World antique to mid-century modern this is the place for you.

I can't think of anything I didn't like

This hotel is an amazing boutique hotel, the staff are brilliant and very attentive especially Patrick, he goes above and beyond, the location is perfect for tube amenities and the night life as well as easy access to Oxford street. Perfect all rounder, we have stayed in the ritz / ham yard and savoy on many occasions and this hotel is up there with the larger hotels, the rooms are beautiful and so clean and quiet and the personal touches like beautiful tea sets on a complimentary tea tray make it feel like home from home. we loved it that much we are returning in November again because of how nice it was last time

There arnt really anything I can pin point. The hotel was having some renovation work done but even the builders weren’t overly noisy

Everything! The hotel transports you to experience a piece of London history first hand! Rooms are themed after writers and their friends who had ties to the property and the rooms are thoughtfully appointed, down to details like the selection of vintage books in the bookshelf. Truly a unique property, so romantic - yet complete with all modern amenities (especially loved the toiletries in grapefruit & mint scent). Steps away from the British Museum, the National Gallery and all the food and shopping that Covent Garden / Soho offer. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff too. Will stay again next time I'm in London.

The location close to many popular pubs in the area... which can be a pro or a con depending on what you are looking for (the ambient noise from the crowd after 6pm didn't bother me much but I can see how it can bother some light-sleepers)

Hazlitt’s is so, so beautiful. I found myself getting lost in its history throughout our stay. The hotel’s decor, and the collection of trinkets scattered around add so much personality to the building.

The only issue we found was the volume of bar-goers on Frith Street in the early hours. However, this is probably to be expected on a weekend, especially in such a busy area like Soho. Although, in future we’ll probably request a room on the other side of the hotel just to make our next stay even more relaxing.

Really, really loved this hotel. Stayed with my daughter and we each had a single room on the top floor. Very comfortable beds, my daughters room was at the front and she wasn't disturbed by noise from bars on the street. Only stayed one night and didn't have time to make use of the honesty bar and lounges, but will definately try and spend more time in the hotel on our next visit. Staff were very friendly and helpful, stored our bags for us before check in and after check out. Breakfast was lovely. Parts of the building were a bit on the slant, but it is all part of the charm and character. Shower was great, bed was very comfortable. Air conditioning was quiet. A wonderful base to explore from.

Everything was great

Location was superb. At the Soho Square end of frith Street. Handy for everywhere. Hotel was really special, boutique and quirky with lovely antique furniture and artwork. Wonderful.

Nothing at all. I suppose I didn’t appreciate that the single rooms could be in a basement situation, however there was plenty of light from the two sash windows.
