Feedback about Nomad London from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Nomad London is praised for its excellent location near Coventry Garden and tube stops, making it easy to access restaurants, theatres, and attractions. Guests appreciate the spacious and quiet rooms, especially the bathrooms featuring great showers with amazing water pressure and full-size toiletries, plus amenities like hair straighteners and steamers. The on-site restaurant is beautiful, with a highly recommended breakfast including delicious egg sandwiches and blueberry pancakes with oat milk; however, some found the dining options limited on certain occasions. The gym is well-equipped, offering treadmills and even a Peloton bike.

great location good shower unavailable doorman unfriendly check-in

The hotel boasts a great location near many sights. The shower in my room was particularly good. The restaurant served a great breakfast and offered oat milk for my cappuccino. The gym included three treadmills.

Upon arrival, no one opened the door to help with bags. Check-in lacked friendliness. I had to ring down to clarify my room package and receive the cocktail voucher and champagne.

really good Experience at the hotel

warm greeting comfortable bed spacious bathroom

brian greeted us warmly at reception he handled our check in and shared details about the hotel jacob assisted with our luggage he highlighted our room's features. the room impressed us with its spaciousness an comfortable bed and high quality linens. the spacious bathroom featured excellent amenities.

darkness throughout the hotel proved a disadvantage we struggled to see room numbers and frequently tripped on changes in floor level the staff dismissed our concerns regarding the dim lighting stating it's their 'style'.

flawless stay!

early check-in oat milk

i found the personnel very cute. i appreciated my room upgrade and early check-in. it was nice they asked about my milk preference for coffee. i enjoy morning coffee and oat milk is a wonderful addition.

the two suites i booked differed in size despite being the same type. each suite claimed to sleep four, yet the extra bed was just a pull-out couch. this felt less than ideal given the cost and overall value.
