We have stayed at The Howard several times when spending time in London. It's a fantastic location for Covent Garden, all the major theatres and for lovely walks along the river. We once got upgraded to a suite which was fantastic, but the standard rooms are great as well. The bar areas are lovely and relaxing with good service and not extortionate prices when you consider this is a central London hotel. We've never eaten here so cannot comment. There is a tube station directly opposite and a short walk along the river takes you to Vinopolis and Shakespeares Globe attractions which are well worth a visit. You couldn't ask for a better location or standard of hotel in London - we will return time and time again and it will always be our first choice when staying in the city.

We stayed at The Howard for the first part of our journey by train to Italy. We were travelling from Doncaster and our Eurostar train was leaving at 07:30am so we needed a nice base for the day and night before. When we entered the Howard we were greeted by very friendly staff who allowed us to check in with no problems and escorted our luggage to the rooms. My boyfriend and I were in a lovely spacious room with a gorgeous bathroom. The view wasn't upto much as it was an internal room and looked over the inner courtyard and offices opposite but this really wasn't a problem. We needed a good nights rest so we pulled the curtains shut... the following morning even though it was so bright outside, the room was still pitch black, it was brilliant!! The coffee machine is a lovely touch (it also makes tea aswel), the coffee was gorgeous and it was brilliant to wake upto knowing we had a long day ahead. The bathroom was beautiful, the bar was stunning, the furniture downstairs is fantastic. They have an outdoor area round the back of the restaurant/ bar with luxurious seating and table service. The only thing that was a bit strange was even though the bed was enormous and very comfy, it was 2 small doubles pushed together and at 1 end the bottom stuck up a few inches, but we sorted it!! When we left at 6 the next morning staff were around to help us into our taxi with all our luggage, they were great. Even though its not partiularly local to main attractions they're only a stroll or short taxi ride away. I would definately stay here again.
