Saint Georges Hotel

This hotel is pretty bad. Two stars is generous. That’s one star for good wifi and one star for a great location. My husband and I stayed on the 14^th floor in a standard room. There were the predictable twin beds shoved together with top sheet as bottom sheet (which always came loose). One mattress was infinitely more decrepit then the other, and the other was by no means good. I actually got my hand snagged on the emerging spring. Also, the feathers in the pillows were poking out and scratching my face. I was probably allergic to them. One day we asked for an early morning wake up call, and we never got it. Ho hum.

great view of london. servers weren’t interested in serving. drinks were wanting. low-​end spirits only, i could only imagine the quality of the wine list.
guess it just depends on what’s important to you… i could go to a dive, even if they yell at me, as along as they have good drinks.
3 stars for the view only.

This is the place to come if you like to admire sweeping views of the city whilst sipping a drink. I had no idea it existed before I was ushered there, like, it would appear, a sizeable portion of London’s population, since it was practically empty the entire time we were there.
It’s not a 5 star experience due to its slightly high prices and the rather bland (hinting towards the 70s, but not in the kind of admiringly stylish, retro way you can find elsewhere in London) interior. But as a place to escape the hubbub of nearby Oxford Street, take in superb views of London and enjoy some food and/​or drink, it really is unbeatable.

Londres tiene un serio problema con el hospedaje: o te gastas un dineral o comes moqueta vieja a base de bien. En todas las veces que he ido nunca he encontrado un término intermedio. Las dos primeras fui de Bed&Breakfast y para esa ocasión me apetecía algo más «pijo», por lo que aposté por gastar un poco más.
Obviamente, con dinero por delante no cuesta encontrar cosas que merezcan la pena. Y el St George es una buena opción si el gastar bastantes libras en hospedaje no es problema. La habitación que nos tocó era espectacular: con unas vistas impresionantes sobre la zona (esta en una décima planta) y una decoración muy correcta — para ser Londres. El lavabo estaba nuevo y cada día te reponían una botella de agua mineral y otra con gas que no te cobraban — ¡¡¡guaaau!!! -. Además te dan una invitación por persona para que subas al bar de la planta 15, el The Heights, a tomarte alguna cosita. Y el sitio es estupendo: muy rollo coctelería old fashioned que a mí me recordó al Milano bar de Barcelona: sofás de cuero rojo, madera oscura, acolchados en la barra…
Pero el principal punto a favor de este hotel es su localización: a dos pasos de Regent Street, y a cinco como quién dice de Oxford Street y su parada de metro. Y esto es: ¡la locura de las compras! Además está al lado del Soho –que para salir por la noche es ideal– y tiene alrededor infinididad de cafeterías y sitios para comer.
Las cuatro estrellas se las pongo porque tuve un problema con la señora de la limpieza, que básicamente me tiró a la basura unos papeles que no debería haber tirado y que no estaban como para que entendiera que así debía hacerlo… en fin.
¡Ah! y como parece también costumbre por allí, el cobro de la habitación te lo hacen al hacer el chek in.

As my usual hotel was fully booked i thought i search my luck in the st. georg. I actually ended up happy about it as most of the things that i needed to go to very really close. But as this hardly depends on what you plan and is not really related to the quality of the hotel let’s explain why i picked only 3 stars.
When i entered the hotel the guy at the reception seemed in a way overmotivated or stressed, even he didn’t have anything to do. He gave very fast sloppy answers i hardly understood. I didn’t feel he really served me.
Entering the room i was astonished by the great view as I was in the 10^th floor. I took out my laptop and tried to connect but there wasn’t any wifi «Power». I could connect to the wifi but it was just to weak so i could use it.
Overall the hotel was ok, very good location in town, but you could expect just the basics being better. Haven’t had any food and stayed only very short so maybe other people will have different experiences overall.

Good place, rooms are good, excellent service, all clean and tidy.
forgot to mention: best view in london, especially if you go to the restaurant in the 15^th floor!
internet is free. excellent place
