Lock in a great price for Amba Hotel Charing Cross – rated 9.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

Complimentary mini bar lovely touch. Reception staff excellent & welcoming. Beds super comfy.

Ann, United Kingdom

Comfy beds - space is at a premium in central london so the rooms are smaller than we'd have liked but well equipped and very clean The personal touch of a hand written card from Francesca was very sweet as was the complimentary mini bar Breakfast was more than adequate with a good choice and pleasant ambience in the restaurant

Mrs, United Kingdom

The Location is excellent. The hotel is very clean and well thought-out. Beds are comfortable, Baths are very clean. Breakfast buffet is great! Most employees are friendly.

Susan, United States of America

The staff was very professional and effective. I had an issue at my arrival (with the taxi I'd taken from the airport) and they just took over and dealt with it which was splendid. Very courteous and genuinely interested in doing their very best for you. The location is fantastic. The rooms are very pleasant and relatively spacy.

Katarina, Georgia

We were too busy to have breakfast but the complementary coffee and treats in the room were great!

Mary, United States of America

It was never a question of where I would stay next time I come to London

Pálmey, Iceland

The Amba was beautiful. You can see a lot of work gors into keeping it so lovely. Also the location absolutely can't be beat. Charging Cross station literally right next door but none of the noise.

Kimberly, United States of America

Main reason for wanting to stay there was next door to tube and Trafalgar Square. Couldn't have been happier. I'll stay there again. I wasn't able to try restaurant but I had room service and the food was delicious.

Karen, United States of America

Comfy bed, complementary minibar, free water, good cocktail bar with knowledgeable bartenders.

Karen, United Kingdom

Great location, helpful reception and concierge staff. Room comfy and for a London hotel spacious!

“This is a really nice hotel facility that suffers from lack of empathy for guests by some employees”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Deluxe King Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉After a 12 hour flight from the US, we discovered that a bicycle race had closed many streets in central London which made it an ordeal to travel from Heathrow to the hotel. 4 people with 4, 50 pound bags and accompanying carry-ons trying to negotiate the train system and the Underground because cars/cabs could not get through the closed streets to the hotel. On Arrival, the staff was not friendly, or helpful. Made us wait 2 hours for our room, and tried to put us in a room that was not consistent with what we booked. They could have given us a heads-up about the closed streets and suggested alternative transportation in advance of our arrival, but did not.
눇The Location is excellent. The hotel is very clean and well thought-out. Beds are comfortable, Baths are very clean. Breakfast buffet is great! Most employees are friendly.
