"Would return"
I was worried about the mixed reviews of this hotel but we were pleasantly surprised
We are a family of 4 with 12yr old girl and 10yr old boy
As most people know it is hard to find a room for 4 in Europe. The reasons we chose this hotel were, rooms for 4, pool, location and price. We had a great deal at 150pounds plus VAT, this also included the buffet breakfast each morning
We arrived at 10am and as expected the room wasn't ready. We went to have a bite to eat and walk around some. We returned to the hotel at 2pm and they did have one room ready but the one they had set aside wasn't yet ready as the people in it were platinum starwood members and had a 4pm checkout. That was fine with us because we are Gold members and we would get the same on our last day. They asked us to go into the Oak Room and have some tea and biscuits while we waited, which was complimentary because of the wait
The room was definitely worth the wait. It was huge. Since it was a corner room it had a hallway with a single sleeper sofa, armoire and desk, then around the corner there was the bedroom with two queen beds, sofa, tv, another desk and armoire, along with the minibar and chest of drawers. This room could physically fit 5 people but that doesn't show anywhere on the website. I guess you would have to call the hotel directly in order to book it for 5 people. The front desk sent up a large bottle of water, some chocolates and fruit cups since we had to wait long for our room. I thought that was a nice touch
The room was in great shape, it was the old style of decor not the new style of the renovated rooms they show on their website, but it was fine with us we thought it was pretty. It had a large bathroom with a shower with great water pressure
We took advantage of the heathclub downstairs and the hot tub after a long day of walking did wonders for sore muscles. The kids really enjoyed the pool
Breakfast each day was good, it was the same every day and I guess I would have liked some variety. There was plenty to choose from and this isn't a complaint just an observation, and it was free with our room
The internet in the room was expensive so we opted to purchase an internet card and use the terminals they had in the lobby. The 24 hour charge from your room was 20 pounds. We purchased a 90 minute card for 10 pounds and used it all week
The location was perfect for getting to many places. If you are looking for more of a residental feel to the neighboorhood you are staying in, this isn't the place for you
We found everyone we encountered to be helpful and very nice
We would definitely stay here again given the right price

"Good location, nice food"
My husband and I stayed in this hotel for one night, as we were attending a dinner there.
Check in was fine. The first room we were offered had only an internal window overlooking the restaurant and bar, which we didn't like. There was no problem changing it to one overlooking Regent Street. The room wasn't very big, and the wardrobe was tiny, but it was perfectly ok for one night. The room was clean and traditionally furnished, if a little gloomy. Oddly, there were some small holes burnt in the curtains.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful - doormen, porters, check-in, chambermaid, and waiters.
The formal dinner was very good. Afterwards, although the bar was crowded, the staff did their best to rearrange the furniture to accommodate our party.
Service in the restaurant next day was a little bit slow, but friendly and they apologised, and the food was excellent.
The central location, handy for nice shops, was a big bonus. Our room had double glazing, but we could still hear street noise - but that is to be expected if you choose a really central location like this. Nothing that ear plugs couldn't fix.

"Central Location!"
The staff were very professional & helpful, the room was good, if not a little old -fashioned & the breakfast was lovely. We also made use of the leisure facilities & spa which were very good. We paid £200 B&B for a twin room which was a good price for such a centrally located hotel however, I wouldn't pay the full price of £310 + vat.
The only problem that I found with this hotel is the noise at night. Our room overlooked Regent Street & as it was a Saturday night all we heard until 4.30am was music, sirens & taxi's beeping their horns.
Apart from that a very enjoyable stay!

"Good place if you can afford it!"
The older rooms in this hotel are not so nice, but the newly renovated rooms are really good...and generally larger (or at least feel larger!)
My wife and I stayed for 4 nights in this hotel and we really loved it for its incredible location! It is located on Piccadilly and is really right in the hub of where all activities in London happen! the theater district is nearby and so are the restaurants and shopping! Also it is a short walk to the Trafalgar Square!
Overall it is bit pricey hotel...but then London is steep! We really loved our stay here as we could go everywhere and still return to our hotel which was a short walk of underground ride away!
If you can afford it, it is worth it!

"Large slightly faded room, fabulous location, great pool!"
This older hotel gave us a large corner room with two double beds, and views out three windows...one of which was in the bathroom. There was a desk, walk in closet and two armchairs; great for a family. And...it was free with Sheraton points! Prices we've seen for the property seem high; just like all of London. With the tube and theatres just steps away, this central location is a great place to splurge a little or redeem those hotel points. And - to the great joy of our youngest - a gorgeous pool. Be sure to check pool hours...and ask when children can swim. We weren't told that only adults are allowed after 8 p.m. until we showed up to swim one evening at 8:30. The desk staff was competant and the conceirge really didn't answer the one question we asked, but the door staff was exceptional - helpful, friendly and watchful at all times.

"Le Meridien Picadilly was wonderful"
All the hotels in London were expensive. We got this room for about 225 pounds for a family room. They upgraded us to a beautiful suite. The lobby and rooms were impecible and the staff very helpful. The best of all is the location. Walking distance to shops, theater, tube, and some museums.

"In the "pick your own price" internet booking lottery, you can't beat this hotel"
January 24, 2006
If you are lucky enough to draw this hotel in the "pick your own price lottery" on one of the internet booking services, you'll get a wonderful hotel at a good rate in a great location. The room was nice, the bed comfortable, the bathroom quite sufficient, the room clean, the service very good (though I didn't ask for too much).
Yes, as others say, it could stand a bit of paint here and there, and yes, the carpet in some places is a little worn. But, all-in-all, it is very nice especially if you are looking for the perfectly located hotel.
If you are willing to spend hundreds more at one of London's famous and gracious five star hotels, you won't get anywhere close to the additional value that is offered by le Meridien when you are lucky to have it picked for you by one of those internet booking services. It is well worth it's 4 star rating.
