Swissotel the howard

I've stayed at the swissotel a few times before and this time it was a excellent as ever. the staff are friendly and helpful, amd the rooms are very comfortable.
i am very sad that the hotel is closing at the end of this month and is going to be sold and turned into flats.

New year 2009

Brillant hotel have stayed before so new it would be perfect for our stay. approx 2 minute walk from temple tube very easy if arriving from paddington station by tube with a suit case.we had a dinner dance booked on the river so the location was spot on , within walking distance. also if you did want to go to the theatre the strand is approx a 10 mintue walk very easy to do and worth it to stay at this hotel. again the price was excellent as always when i use this website , they beat every website when it comes to deals.

Swissotel howard

This was the second time that we've stayed at this hotel, and the standards had dropped a little. the room wasn't ready at 4pm when we checked in, so the receptionist gave us a voucher for a free drink and said he would come into the bar to tell us as soon as it was ready. an hour later we went back to the reception, and he'd gone off duty!
when we got into the room a housekeeper knocked on the dooor and said she hadn't finished the bathroom and she spent a few minutes on that. it wasn't cleaned particularly well, so perhaps she rushed it.
the room was very comfortable, and the view is fantastic, and the main reason why we returned to this hotel. the breakfast was good too.
the price we paid by booking through hotelsclick was very reasonable.

Perfect for visiting south bank

Perfect locastion for visiting south bank. a very well run hotel, just beginning to show its age by having impeccable restaurant service, even for a buffet breakfast, but a (very) little tiredness in the bedrooms. windows don't open and the efficient aircon is too noisy, even at lowest fan level.
excellent value for london.
it would be sensible if the information provided by guests at time of booking were automatically copied into the registration form so that it didn't have to be entered twice.

Excellent location great hotel

We stayed in london for a full sightseeing weekend and based ourselves at the howard. we were upgraded to a room overlooking the river which was fantastic and the service was second to none. they were attentive without being overwhelming and the room and facilities were great.

i fully reccommend this hotel and will definitely stay there again.

Our second visit

This was our second visit to the howard and once again it didn't dissapoint. we were upgraded to a suite which was fantastic as we were staying 2 nights so it was good to have an area to relax in. this time our booking included continental breakfast which set us up for the day. the drinks were a little on the expensive side but we will certainly go back again.

Ov er priced...

Great location..but not so great room. i've stayed here before in a room with a balcony overlooking the thames..stunning. without, it's just an overpriced ordinary room.

lovely looking lounge area..but more suitable for a business meeting..as sofas certainly not designed to get comfy in, relax and enjoy a drink or two!

would suit business person, as central. but definately not a romantic break.

Ideal for covent garden

Great location - ideal for covent garden, drury lane etc.
lovely staff - very attentive without being cloying.
this is very much a business hotel and as we were there at the weekend for leisure we did find the hotel lacked some of the usual 5 star facilities.

Swossotel howard

My husband and i had a very pleasant stay. we had a very good deal with hotels click. we both thought the hotel would have been overpriced at the normal tariff. the location was good and the staff very helpful. we would stay again.
