Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Assembly Leicester Square is appreciated for its prime location, steps away from Leicester Square tube station, and within easy walking distance of many attractions in the heart of London. Guests frequently highlight the breakfast served with lovely views, and the modern, clean rooms, some offering panoramic city vistas. While the rooms are described as cozy, some guests have noted the limited privacy in the bathroom, akin to a cruise ship layout. Despite this, the hotel is regarded as a great base for exploring the city.

superb locationfriendly stafffree luggage storagelimited space
The location was superb. I could easily walk to many attractions. the staff members were friendly and always ready to help! i appreciated the option to store luggage free before check-in. This let me explore the city without any extra baggage.
the room was a bit too small, and there wasn't a closet. it was hard to keep my belongings organized with limited space. i kept my suitcase on the floor, which wasn't ideal.

the location suited my needs quite well.
The room was quite small and felt a bit claustrophobic. It lacked a proper wardrobe, with only a few hangers available, it felt more like a temporary storage solution. there wasn't even a kettle in the room.

adequate stay with minor drawbacks

missing tvcoffee facilities
the room lacked some expected amenities i found this inconvenient. specifically there was no tv i missed having it for evening relaxation. the absence of tea and coffee making facilities was also disappointing i prefer to have these available in my room. the lack of these items detracted from the overall experience.
