Review of Club Quarters Hotel Covent Garden Holborn, London 4*

Excellent location for this hotel that looks rather stylish and which boasts a nice club lounge area with complimentary coffee, tea and bottled water. The rooms are very functional, modern and clean but won’t win any design awards… if you are looking for ornate plush rooms, then probably best to look elsewhere. I had expected the rooms to feature a safe however, but this wasn't the case. Staff were always friendly, very accommodating and efficient… What however makes this hotel unique and a good value proposition is the fact that you can enjoy the front terrace which faces the Lincoln’s Inn Fields square and allows guests to enjoy this very chilled out area while having one of the aforementioned complimentary drinks — or whatever snack you picked up walking around London — throughout the day. In the evenings you can however enjoy the outdoors ‘pop-up’ bar and have dinner here. And more recently (April 2018) we have discovered the daily wine tasting between 5-6pm… which on a sunny day is rather enjoyable on the terrace. Food however is what brings me to the only negative experience about the hotel unfortunately. We tried to have breakfast here but the rather limited ‘full’ English option was actually cold… literally none of the ingredients were warm and the cold sloppy scarmbled eggs were terrible. We tried a few bites and left the breakfast for what it was. Since I really was after a buffet breakfast that morning we then randomly headed for the nearby Premier Inn whose breakfast offering is much more varied and freshly cooked… meaning warm! Would I return to to this hotel? Absolutely! Especially when the weather is mild and dry enough to enjoy the terrace, but I wouldn’t plan on eating here though…
