Mimi's Hotel Soho

The West End


The location couldn't be any more central. The lobby has a great bar, a working fireplace and reclaimed oak flooring. We love the Trump-style gold lift. But, boy, are the rooms tiny – some as small as 7 sq metres without a window! The 58 rooms are spread over six floors; there are an additional seven apartments on nearby Greek St.

Room types range from the smallest 'Tiny' and 'Mini' ones to 14-sq-metre 'Cosy' rooms, and 'Lux' ones that are a cat-swinging 22 sq metres. Still, you get what you pay for in uber-central London.
