“Quiet Kit Kemp gem in Soho”
The Soho Hotel, Firmdale Hotels sits in the heart of Soho yet guests find it incredibly quiet inside — out-of-this-world Kit Kemp decor, big rooms with plush bedding and lovely linens, and staff always available to help. The divine breakfast, a bar with an excellent whisky selection suited to meetings, and a basement private cinema stand out, with theatres, Oxford Street, Chinatown and the British Museum minutes away. One reviewer flagged a messy, littered street outside and a long check-in wait where a promised room-ready message never arrived. Otherwise, stellar.
