    Great location and exceptionally friendly staff. It's not the newest hotel in London but it has plenty of old world charm. Go for a run in Regents Park - right next door!

    Spanish hotel well located near Regent's park. Cosy rooms. Free WiFi in the whole building. Friendly and helpful staff. Broad choice of dishes at breakfast. Cosy bar.

    Nice hotel! Make sure to get "the Level" rooms. Melia is near to Regent's park and Great Portland station. One con: the walls of the rooms has no accoustic isolation so it is easy to hear noises.

    Nice staff, the rooms are pretty good. The location is the main selling point. The buffet dinner is very good a good mix of Spanish and international dishes. I always stay here on business.

    Excellent hotel in London, very close to many places to be visit and the great portland station is in front of the hotel, Regent Place is just 2min walk from And the hotel staff were friendly.

    Ask for the upgrade to "Level". This gives you access to a VIP room, includes breakfast, free tapas and drinks as well as free WIFI and a very good sevice.

    5 min walk from Regent's Park, perfect for an early morning or ev jog. Quiet place near Saint Pancras and Paddington, train and tube hubs. Never had a problem staying here.

    Great bufet for salads. Paella Friday's with complimentary dessert are eally worth it. Amazing cheesecake.

    Nice well restored hotel! You have to pay 15£ per day just to use the bar-fridge 😤 No complimentary water in the room

    Arrived early in the morning and room not ready, was sold the lounge access with breakfast only to find out that the breakfast is for next morning. Complaint about the mis-selling and free breakfast.

    Book directly at melia.com and get a £15 voucher to spend in the bar or restaurant. Handy for a drink before you head out.

    This is the training hotel for the Melia chain... meaning nothing is quite as efficient as it should be and check in/check out is painfully slow even at off-peak times.

    Perfectly fine hotel. Try to check-in early afternoon as the process is a big longer than is normal and the queues get quite long after 5.

    Nice location, nice rooms but the only negative point is the breakfast that is crowded and food is very simple. Even at the new Level V executive lounge - that was also very crowded.

    A bit old-fashioned hotel in a nice area. Crazy elevators, noisy rooms, not the best place where to stay for more than 1 night!

    Free wifi in rooms with free breakfast if you upgrade to level service. Overall not bad. The elevators make absolutely no sense though.

    Rooms have 3-prong American electrical sockets, but only 2-prong Euro sockets.

    Longford's Bar plays some seriously dodgy music - it's more suited to Sinatra.

    Very dated with random furniture that seems to be gathered from different places including lamps with Euro plugs ... Being renovated, got a room with workmen outside looking in. Horrible!

    Leave an hour to check in and bring a Spanish translator as nobody speaks English. Shocking service all round, 5 star my ass.

    Paper thin walls - take ear plugs unless you want to be listening to your neighbours all night...

    Broken air conditioning for nearly a week during a massive July heat wave is completely inexcusable; impossible to sleep in tiny, sauna-like rooms. Location is nice but service & maintenance very bad.

    Rooms are tiny (unless you upgrade). Think cruise ship. Wifi service shut down for almost a full day. Reception kept saying it was a known problem and should be up momentarily :(

    Terrible airconditioning noise in rooms , and if you ask the reception they will just send someone to tell you this happens in the floors 5 and above as if it is normal.
