Wonderful location-felt very safe as a lone female traveller-even late at night. Spotlessly clean, stylish and customer service was 1st class. Room was 'compact' fine for one. My only complaint was no tea/ coffee making and only one loo roll which wasn't enough but otherwise absolutely first class. I will be back.

Fantastic location and lovely staff. The room was very clean and very comfortable! We were also very impressed by how quiet the room was, despite being in the heart of soho. The front desk representative was incredibly helpful and accommodating, looking forward to spending another night there very soon!

Perfect place to overnight. Rooms are small but perfectly formed and well equipped. Windowless room is actually great in busy Soho. Despite people drinking in the street I couldn't hear a thing in my room.

Mimi’s Hotel Soho absolutely deserves 5 stars. The hotel is in a fantastic central location in Soho, with everything from restaurants and bars to theatres just a short walk away, yet it still feels cosy and welcoming once you step inside. The rooms are compact but very comfortable and stylish, with a boutique feel that makes the stay feel special rather than standard.What truly made the experience outstanding was the service from the team, especially Ephram and Vishnu. Both were exceptionally friendly, professional and attentive, always greeting with a smile and genuinely going out of their way to help with anything needed. They made check‑in smooth, offered great local recommendations and consistently checked that everything with the room and stay was perfect. Their warm, personalised service turned a great hotel into an unforgettable stay, and they are a real credit to Mimi’s Hotel Soh

Booked to see dita von teese and this hotel was fantastic! I only needed to use to tube twice! Everything you could want to do was a walkable distance. Staff were friendly and the vibe of the place was incredible, very very posh looking. The bar get busy and you have 2 options to enter the hotel as a guest , through the bar or private entrance (id recommend private at bust times) Rooms are small but functional, suitcase was stored under the bed and bed was lovely and the room decorating wise was perfect! It fully for the vibe of my holiday. Luggage was stored before check in and after check out with no issues. As a solo female traveller i felt completely safe and well looked after! 10/10

We didn’t stay but called in for a cocktail in Henson’s Bar. It was a beautiful bar with a lovely warm and cosy atmosphere on a cold winters day! We had two fabulous cocktails which were meticulously prepared and served by the barman. Excellent service, very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely return and highly recommend. The toilet was beautiful too. Very clean and decorative with Molton Brown toiletries.

Had a wonderful stay at Mimi's Soho. The hotel room, though a tad small, was very charming, and we enjoyed the warm pinks and dark timber panels of the interiors. The hotel is located in a very central location within the heart of pub life in Soho, and is regionally adjacent to West End, Covent Garden and Regent Street precincts. We found the 15-20minute walk each way quite convenient overall. The hotel hosts Henson's bar on the ground floor, and this was a very posh, with great drinks and great vibe, but it does get busy in the evenings.

£135 is a little more than I usually pay when visiting London for a night, but the location of Mimi's so close to the theatre that I was attending lured me in. My top-floor room was tiny but spotlessly clean and the shower had superb water pressure. The staircase is marble clad and the place feels quite luxurious. The staff are very friendly and I was able to use my room from 2pm. There is a cool cocktail bar downstairs, which I enjoyed post theatre. My only complaint is that it was not open "after hours" to hotel residents as is often the case. There were a few grumbles from other guests but it could have developed into a very expensive evening, so I suppose I should be grateful! The location is great - just off Dean Street. I had lunch at the Dean Street Townhouse, which was super. As long as the price doesn't go up, this could become my first choice for future London excursions.
