Great room and friendly, helpful staff!
We had an amazing stay. Stopped her overnight on the way to another destination after a long flight. The room was fantastic and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. We would have stayed longer if we had known what a great experience this would be.

Open clothing rack ruins the luxury
Interesting hotel with history. The most comfortable bed with luxurious bedding. Smart toilet with heated seat and all the bells and whistles. There are 5-star elements in the decor but the upscale feeling is totally ruined by the open clothing rack. It is the focal feature in the room. And no matter how good are your outfits, they don't enhance the room hanging in full view.

Noisy aircon disturbs sleep.
The Great Scotland Yard is a wonderful building in a great location. The decor is good, the staff polite and our room was large, clean and comfortable.
However, if you are a light sleeper then I would recommend that you avoid this hotel. The ventilation system in our room hummed and rattled whilst switched on and, even when switched off, there was an almost continuous background hum. We raised this with reception after the first night and, after they discussed with engineering, we were told that it was normal and like that in all of the rooms. The recording I took of the noise is most definitely not normal nor is being kept awake by background noise.
Add to this a distinctly average breakfast experience (our booking included breakfast but that piece of information was not communicated between hotels.com and the property) and we would not choose to stay here again.

Came here for the London Winter run and also to celebrate my birthday.
On check we were told we had been upgraded as a birthday treat. To be honest I 5ink the room we had was of style we had booked so not an upgrade but an amazing room none the less.
As we were only here for 24 hours and had booked in convenience to an event we didn’t get to completely enjoy what the hotel had to offer so will definitely be booking again.
For anyone looking for someone close to central London at a reasonable rate I would highly recommend this hotel.
