Henrietta Experimental

This is a lovely little hotel right in the heart of Covent Garden. In many ways you wouldn't know it is there at all. The staff were so very friendly and welcoming, and the room was super clean and very comfortable. I didn't eat at the hotel in the evening but the food at lunchtime was great. Definitely recommended as a base for roaming Central London. Please note this is not a hotel to visit if having a car nearby is important. Henrietta Street is pedestrianised for most of the day and there is no nearby on street parking. The best place to park nearby is Q-Park Chinatown, which is a 10 minute walk away. Leave the car at home!

We loved everything about our stay! Location was unbeatable for us and what we wanted to do. Right near Covent garden tube station and walking distance to multiple sites. Every time we came back to the room we instantly felt relaxed. The bathroom was great and had the basics, we paid for a room with a tub and loved that as well. Our room looked out into the courtyard of the neighboring church and it was so pretty. Everything felt clean. I am very anxious about bed begs etc. when traveling and even though our headboard was made of cloth it was spotless. As Americans we love our water and having a fresh bottle left behind when our room was attended to was a bonus! Extra bonus: We managed to get early check in after a overnight flight. We had requested it but weren't expecting it and it made the start of our trip extra special as we could refresh and take a nap right away! Knowing that they were able to mind our luggage until actual check in was very reassuring if our request couldn't be granted.

Such a beautiful hotel. We stayed in the new part across the road from the main hotel. We had beautiful views of a garden square. At night it was lit up. Such a beautiful bonus to what was already a beautiful room. Bathroom of all bathrooms. Lots of space. A lovely touch of shortbread every night. Everything in your room that’s an extra cost has a label on it so not accidental purchases. Made my mums birthday stay so special. The restaurant in the main part of the hotel. Served an amazing breakfast. The bar was very cute & an amazing array of drinks.

It's a very clever idea, this hotel. It recreates all the comfort of a large full service hotel in the aggregate. On the same street there is a Henrietta cocktail bar, restaurant etc.... If there were a gym (and perhaps there is, I didn't check....) it would a phenomenal offering in the heart of London. Staff are wonderfully informed and socially intelligent. Even though there was a little hiccup on checking in, they were graceful and accommodating. Strong recommendation.

The bed is very comfortable, the hotel upgraded us to a larger room for the same price which was extremely nice. Shoutout to Johanna and Clementine for all of their help in accommodating our needs. Great location too. Because their restaurant was closed for remodeling, there is a nice restaurant across the street, The Ivy Grille. We didn’t realize at the time of our booking that we could include breakfast at The Ivy.
