big a wrote a review Jan 2020
Brighton, United Kingdom
4.0 of 5 bubbles
Good start to our 4 night stay in a spacious Halkin Room. Early check in and our car safely valet parked.
Requests for tea bags etc and larger towels efficiently done.
Room cleaning is flexible and high standard.
Car delivered early for our departure by the excellent chap doing the late shift-thank you Sir, you are a credit to the Halkin.
Only one bad point, the breakfast falls below standard.
Cold poached eggs, bacon was not bacon?
One sausage?
1/2 a slice of black pudding.
It was far from a decent plate of tasty well presented "English Breakfast" and after experiencing that on our first morning we refrained from eating in the Halkin.

All in all though, The Halkin is a good hotel in an excellent location with very good staff.
Thank you.

This hotel is the best in London in my view. Stayed at MO/ Claridges/ The Berkley/ The Arch/ The Montcalm/ The Savoy/ Four Seasons/ Intercontinental/ The Mayfair etc etc., I have never had the pleasure to experience such personable hospitality and service in London hotels as here. Love how tranquil it is and busy London life is a stone's throw away. Rooms are very well insulated from sound too so your sleep will be guaranteed 100% restful.

Exceptional hotel, great staff that were very friendly, greeted me by name whenever they saw me and couldn't do enough to help. Of particular note was when I added a couple of days on my reservation by booking a new room on their website. By the time I went down to reception, the associate had printed me a new key. He recognized me as I approached the desk and he handed my new key - all was taken care of.

Stayed in a junior suite. I found the rooms quite dull and oversimplistic. No art or Room decoration at all. The front desk manager stated that they leave shelfs empty so guests Can bring their own personal things and make the Room their own. Yes, but ok who brings their own art and vases from home, even if You were staying for more than Just a week!??! Weird
Carpets were also tired and Dirty . They really needed a clean. Lovely Big marble bathroom.
Another things is I dont like COMO’s own toiletry brand Shambhala. Smells Nice but poor quality shampoo/balsam. Truly poor quality.
Thought the Room smelled a little old like stale smoke, an air purifier provided helped.
In Room Dining was mediocre at max, enjoyed the cesar salad but all the other things were just acceptable. After 11pm they only served dry sandwiches for the same Price.

Charm of this hotel is the staff. Most of Them warm and do their Best accommodate your requests, although some of Them bordering on being unprofessional, they tried their Best to be warm and hospitable.

COMO The Halkin: A hotel with a quaint atmosphere in downtown London with extremely friendly staff. Having travelled frequently, I was thoroughly impressed with the hotel's attention to detail. Sara, Alex, Irene and Lonny were top of the line when it came to the tailor-made service they provided. The downtown location made it convenient to walk to dinner, check out a few places and take in the tourist vibe. Albeit short, it was an excellent experience!

We had an outstanding stay at Como the Halkin London. From the very first step inside at this one of a kind hotel, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel truly valued. The staff was super friendly and kind, and took care of our every need without feeling intrusive. The hotel itself is gorgeous and the rooms are quite spacious and well appointed; the rooms had everything we could need, including ample toiletries, beverages (including plenty of water), and many USB charging points. The public spaces of the hotel feel like lovely extensions, full of spots to relax with a drink after a busy day. Dining here at the bar is an experience: the food is freshly made very well cooked and extremely well presented and tasty! And you cannot beat the location; an easy walk Park Lane, Hide Park, Marble Arch, Oxford street and even Piccadilly Curcus. This will be our go-to place every time we come back to London.

The Halkin is a preferred hotel for our travelling associates, not just because of the quality in location, service, and rooms but because of the undivided care and attention given from check in to check out.

My manager requests the Halkin for his business travel for this reason and his recent stayed did not disappoint.

Gokhan Vardar, Front office Manager made sure everything was ready ahead of arrival, the communication with me ahead of check in and then again when flights changed, making sure the preferred room would be available, even though it was before the standard check in time was incredibly reassuring.

Gokhan goes above and beyond, he remembers guests by name, his welcome and hospitality are a huge reason our associates return again and again.

It is always a pleasure to work with Gokhan.

From the moment we approached the front entrance to the moment we loved every second of our short stay at COMO The Halkin.
Our check-in at reception on arrival was the best check-in experience we have ever had and made us feel like we were their only guests.
We had arrived about four hours before the designated check-in time because of our early flight, manager Mr Gokhan Vardar`s extra effort and professionalism, our room was ready in a minute, which was a great bonus.

Shortly after arriving in our bedroom, which was immaculate and luxurious, high ceiling, black marbled bathroom, we received a call from reception to check that we were happy with our room and Mr Vardar asking if there was anything we wanted.
.
We had lunch in the Halkin Bar, delicious food service was superb from start to finish and every member of staff was working exceedingly hard, yet smiling and always looking around to see if any of the guests needed anything, or if anything needed to be cleared away.
From reception desk to concierge, housekeeping to room service every member of stuff went extra mile and made our holiday unforgettable.

Checking out at reception was as friendly as checking in.
COMO The Halkin will now be our new home away from home whenever we stay over in London.
Thank you to all

While traveling to the UK for business, I had the pleasure of staying in COMO The Halkin. It is conveniently located on a quiet street between Belgravia Square Park and Buckingham Palace. It is an absolutely beautiful hotel with a contemporary and classy use of natural materials to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The rooms are exceptionally appealing with every possible convenience and amenity. The staff was consistently professional, warm and attentive. I enjoyed the warm scented towel at check-in, the lovely bar and delicious food. This small hotel is a gem in the heart of London and felt especially safe to a woman traveling alone on business.

This was our first stay at the Halkin. Most folks would like the location, but we did not--prefer E London where one can easily find a friendly pub. The Halkin is in the center of most tourist attractions; ten min walk to B'ham Palace, etc. Our main objection: upon check out we were surprised to be charged 13.59 PS/night listed as service charge. The desk clerk advised that the charge would be shared with staff similar to gratuity. We had already left very generous gratuities to each staffer we came in contact with, namely the concierge, waiters, housekeeping etc. All were friendly & helpful. I consider the charge somewhat of a scam. Won't be staying at the Halkin again.

Dera MHSyd, I am sorry to read that we might not have the pleasure of welcoming you again. We usually pride ourselves for our repeating guests' loyalty pleased by our tailored approach. I am glad you to see a 5* for our service. The discretionary service charge of 5% is a common practice within 5* in London and the team will remove it discretely when one will ask. It is on all our correspondence when one will book direct and certainly. Would you decide to return, we will indicate you friendly pubs in the close neighbourhood too. Kind regards,

Yes you most definitely can. I went through Red Letter Days too and called COMO The Halkin to check on just one of us having vegetarian. It was absolutely no problem and the vegetarian option looked just as good as the regular one. Each item was fully explained and was extremely tasty. Having called ahead a few weeks before our visit I did, for my own sake, call again to recheck a couple of days before our tea. It was all recorded and the whole experience was really great. Hope you get there and enjoy as much as we did.
