Perfect place for a weekends shopping and show
Went with my daughters the hotel is in an amazing area short walk from green Park underground and less than 15 minute walks to all major shopping areas, just perfect. Dropped the bags off early with no problems, checked out at 9am next day and again they looked after all our shopping and bags till 4pm.

Disappointed
First off the location is great! The service is good. The rooms were below the standard of our other stays in London and Edinburgh. The bathrooms are older style where you have to step over into tub. The tub has a tall side and is not easy for older guests. The shower itself is not easy to use. Sink did not have hot water. Based on “green initiatives” you have to request basic amenities that you just have in your room at other hotels at this level. It makes you feel guilty to have to request things you feel like you have paid for.

Dont upgrade. The "best" rooms are on the 15th floor, but they neglect to tell you the elevator only goes to 14. You have to leave the elevator, pass through several fire doors, to climb a flight of stairs to your room. With a kid and a stroller this is gets old very quickly. The bathroom was the best part of the room. The bed was firm. The pillows last about five minutes before deflating. We tried ordering room service the first night due to jet lag. The room menu indicated several option for dining between midnight and 6am. When we called, the staff sounded like we were being outrageous. They only could do a burger. It was not worth it.

Friendly and helpful reception staff however for a 4 star hotel this seemed dated, small rooms and breakfast wasn’t worth £25 pp. breakfast was cold, coffee awful and not as nice as other hotels we’ve stayed at before in the same area. The breakfast staff seemed new or just simply didn’t know how to operate. I would class this as cheap and cheerful if you get the hotel at a good price but it’s certainly NOT worthy of the full price being asked for at this hotel.

Disappointing experience
I have stayed at the Cavendish many times over the years and enjoy its great location and proximity to the major attractions in central London. This is despite its well known shortcomings in terms of noise and poor sound insulation both internal and external. Some of this is beyond the hotel’s direct control with two noisy nightclubs in the vicinity. On this occasion I was initially given a room directly behind the lifts which brought its own noise problem. In fairness I was moved to a better room.

The properties a little worn out, but it did have good coffee and tea in the room, the staff is super friendly but most of all it’s all about LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. You’re a three minute walk from Piccadilly Circus, and Chinatown. You’re also on one of the best streets for shopping in London, and the hotel lobby is very beautiful. The shining star of this property is the wonderful staff, great customer service, so friendly and really accommodated me. I would stay here again.

Although hotel staff were friendly and helpful, it was so inconvenient and disappointed that there is no elevator/lift access to the 15th floor where all of suites are located. Hotel staff helped us for bringing up our big and heavy baggages all right we had to bring them down by stairs to get on the elevator on 14th floor.
