 Dirty room, dirty windows. Many items were broken in the room and ALL the electricity went off when i tried to dry my hair with their hairdryer. I won't stay again.

 Located close to the West End and overlooking the Thames the location cannot be beaten. Worth paying the extra for a river view room in my opinion. Service was efficient, polite and friendly but not over the top. I would definitely stay here again

 We thouroughly enjoyed our stay in London and in particular the Swissotel/Howard. It was clean, service was great (entire staff) and hotel very quiet (back side of hotel). The location was also the best..near the tube, covent gardens, theater district and many major attractions. We would go their again in an instant!

 Excellent location. It is within walking distance of the main london attractions and 5 minutes from Covent Garden (where all the theatres are). Rooms are big, clean and have very nice views. Attentive staff. Superb restaurant and nice cosy Bar.

 Great location with amazing views over the River Thames. Extremely nice staff and attentive service. The rooms are very specious, clean and comfortable. The hotel has a hidden garden which is ideal for this time of the year and the restaurant called JAAN serves superb food. A highly recommend the Wild Pigeon with Foie Gras!! Location could be better. It is 5 minutes walk from Covent Garden and Temple Tube station is just opposite the hotel.

 Super Xmas lunch, and overall the Howard is ideal at Xmas for those who don't want too much festive spirit !

 It's a pleasant enough hotel - well situated but more suited to business than pleasure. No real character or charm, room adequate but nothing special - we certainly couldn't work out how it got its five stars. All quite unmemorable really.
