How sad - the Royal Adelphi was an absolute Godsend, convenient for my office and amazing value for Central London. I last stayed there earlier this year and it was its usual shabby, friendly, welcoming self. Yes, the furniture, carpets and TVs all belonged in the 1970s (or in a skip) but the place was clean and for GBP55 including... More

I have enjoyed staying there since I discovered it in 1998. Yes the rooms were somewhat old and tired, but the atmosphere was friendly and safe. And a perfect location, particulary as I come up via Charing Cross. Alas the Credit Crunch seems to have bitten and the hotel is now closed :( If any of the staff read this... More

Hi, Two years ago, two colleagues of me, went for business to london and stayed over at the royal adelphi hotel! End of this month, they need to go back for some more businessmeetings. They loved the hotel, but apparently the website, email, telephone aren't working anymore? Anyone knows if the hotel is still open or did they close their... More

Disregard the date that I was forced to check on this website. I first stayed at the Royal Adelphi in 1986 and the last time in 2002. I found it simple, clean, friendly and the greatest location for the price in all of London. Right on the Thames, behind Charing Cross station. It's walking distance to everything I want to... More

I stayed at royal Adelphi hotel in October 2008. The hotel was not fantastic but it was clean. However... the furniture, bathroom, and carpet must have been installed before the 2nd world war. Despite the perfect location of the hotel I would NOT recommend it to people that enjoy London’s nightlife and need to sleep in the morning until late.... More

I have stayed at the Adelphi a few times before, but my latest visit was the first time for a number of years. The place is still the same, a little tired, a little shabby but its clean and for £55 a night for a single room with a breaksfast thrown in you cant go wrong if you a single... More

The location really is outstanding - you step out the door and are in very close walking distance to the theatre district, Covent Garden, Leicester Square, and Soho. Embankment and Charing Cross train stations are a minute away. Other conveniences are super close (supermarket, chemist, net cafes), and it's safe to walk around there at night because it's so busy... More

Dear fellow travellers, your reviews led me to book this hotel but I was severely let down. It is London afterall so my expectations were low but this place is really dreadful. Sticky carpets, threadbare bedspreads, curtains and lumpy mattresses that haven't been changed since the 50s. Totally unacceptable standard for a hotel operator. Mould on the bread at breakfast....

This is my second review of this hotel. Via my user name read this in connection with my earlier review save me repeating myself. This was the 5th time in 12 months I have stayed at the Royal Adelphi and I love it. This hotel is about location not 5* luxury. Work colleagues have also now started to stay at... More
