The Fielding Hotel

We booked the hotel and then read the mixed reviews given. I’ll be honest and I was a little bit scared of what to expect, we were given a room in the basement. Opened the door and wow, what an amazing room complete with a bath! Beautiful comfy bed and heated bathroom floor tiles. Very quiet but yes you can hear the tube running under the hotel but it doesn’t keep you awake. The hotel staff are very helpful, friendly and courteous. We found the hotel to be very clean and if you go looking for issues then of course you’ll find them. Just go, relax and enjoy your stay. The location is perfect and quiet, we will definitely be staying again.

My friends and I booked 2 rooms at The Fielding Hotel. Location was great so near to Covent Garden. We were given a room (no. 43) thatvwas below geound level, that smelt of mould, that was so strong you could smell it when you opened the door. One of our group suffers from serious Asthma and also osteoarthritis so could not stay in this room. There was mould on the two ceilings of the bathrooms and paint was peeling off some of the walls. The room was uninhabitable due to the smell, so I asked for another room and was told by reception there was none available. I asked to speak to the manager and was told this was not possible and was asked to email reservations? Unable to afford another hotel we all slept in the other room that was better, albeit cramped for that night. Thank goodness we only booked one night. The room we had was on the 3rd floor, there s no lift and no one offered to help with our bags. Really poor customer service. The 'receptionist' agreed to sort a part refund, which was part ! Left feeling so disappointed .

The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was excellent. However, the room was small, furniture and hotel itself were extremely old and noisy. In my opinion, it’s not worth the price. Also, take a look at the hotel management’s responses to reviews on Booking.com—they’re quite amusing! we stayed in three different hotels in the same area - similar price per room- and this one was pretty disappointing!

Just around the corner from Covent Garden on a quiet street, a quaint little hotel. Hallway and stairs are rather narrow and room small but all basics are present - including tea and cookies. Shower was lovely and reception is open all day with friendly staff.

One of the most enjoyable hotels I’ve stayed at abroad! I think the hotel management did an incredible job. They helped us and our team with a friendly attitude in every possible way. Looking forward to seeing you again!

The reception by the manager was very cold! The response to every question was minimalist even though we were alone at reception. He was nicer when I left. Fortunately, the rest of the staff and especially the girl were very nice. The room was nice but it was in the basement, which made me feel like I was sleeping in the cellar. What's more, I could hear the metro passing underneath every 2 minutes. All in all, I had a very mixed stay.

The room was very dusty. I asked for it to be cleaned on the second day, and to be fair it was a bit better after that. But, I think the curtains need to be properly cleaned. Also, the furniture in the room looks a bit dated and the chair had been worn through. Not a great feel. Also, no lift and quite narrow stairs. I had to carry my heavy bag myself - no one asked if I needed help. The location is great.

The front of house staff were all really polite and very helpful, couldn't fault them. Location is also good. Sadly, the room itself was a bit of a horror show. Firstly, it was so hot in there and the standalone Aircon unit was noisy and ineffective. There were hairs in the bed, the towel and in the bath, not to mention the white stains on the underside of the decorative sash on the bed. Worst of all though was the mattress, which I actually felt was quite cruel to expect anyone to sleep on. A hard ridge in the centre and enormous dips either side. My two night stay would have covered the purchase of several new mattresses, so there's just no excuse for it. I'm sure I could have made a big deal of it all at reception, but these are things that shouldn't need pointing out and I was busy with work commitments. Management are complete cowboys if they think this is ok and their reception staff deserve to be fronting something better.

Great area. Trade off, the hotel sucks. Shower handle broke off mid shower, ceiling leaking water all day, thin walls/loud staff, loud area, loud pipes, etc. No internal door locks, no do not disturb option, broken thermostat. 0/10.

I first stayed at the Fielding in 1995 and I have never bothered to find accommodation somewhere else in London. If you arrive at Heathrow Airport you can use the Piccadilly Line to Covent Garden without changing trains. From the station it is a three-minute-walk to the hotel. Rooms are well-appointed, staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgable. The only drawback is that you have to reserve well in advance. Considering the location, rates are still decent, although they went up recently. Breakfast is not offered on the premises, but there are a lot of nice cafés in the vicinity.

Stayed here for one night this week and was very impressed. The hotel is reasonably priced, not the cheapest around but not prohibitively expensive, and I think it's great value given the location. It's not the most luxurious hotel, but it's definitely comfortable enough for a few nights. It's tucked away on a side street by Covent Garden and I was impressed by how quiet it was for the middle of London. Check in was fine and the staff at the desk were friendly. I'm not a huge fan of having to leave the key when you go out, but that's not a massive issue. The stairs to the upper floors are quite narrow, so I imagine some people might have trouble navigating them. I was offered assistance with my bag which was nice. Our room wasn't huge, but there was enough to space, and the bed was lovely and big. The bathroom was also quite compact but nicely done out with plenty of toiletries provided. I also thought the bedroom was nicely decorated. The only 2 complaints I have are; the pillows were weird (one normal, one foam block?!), and the room was a bit stuffy. However I would happily stay here again and would recommend it to others.

My family of 4 stayed here and loved it. The location is perfect, and the price is a steal, considering the city. The concierge were extremely helpful and friendly, and we were right by a tube stop. When we come back I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else!

I had a hell of a time trying to find affordable accommodations in the heart of London, and that was 2005! Luckily, The Fielding's rates have only slightly increased in the last four years (then: 80 pounds; now: 90 pounds for a verysmall single room with a toilet and shower). But for a gal traveling by herself to London for the first time, and knowing no one, it was a great central location for almost everything I wanted to do and see: museums, restaurants, pubs, cafes, sightseeing. Within walking distance or a short jaunt on the Tube you have Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Soho, Oxford Street, the Thames, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace. Westminster Abbey, the Tate Modern... Before I arrived in London, the proprietor gave me walking directions from the nearest Tube station, and Covent Garden is on a direct route to / from Heathrow - a welcome blessing for my airplane-swollen feet. Pluses: the hotel is tucked away in a beautiful old building in a beautiful part of town, utterly walkable by day and early evening, and near everything a first-timer might want to see. The windows overlook a stunning stone courtyard. While the rooms are not anything to write home about, they're very clean and cheap, by London standards, and the desk clerk was always friendly. Minuses: Tiny stairways made getting my luggage up to the 5th floor quite an acrobatic feat - luckily I packed light. From time to time, especially late at night on the weekends, the areas abutting Covent Garden can turn into the zone of the debauched teenage riot. Oh, it's probably harmless - just lots of swearing and breaking bottles and sweaty young people acting like wankers - but not my scene, to be certain. The biggest minus, however, is that the "real" nightlife in London - the stuff of legend - is far from the heart of tourist London - nary a warehouse rave in sight from theater row.

I stayed here a couple of years ago when visiting family in London. It is on a lamp lit Street which added to the quaintness of it. The staff were really freindly and helpful. The room was very comfortable and clean. It is very central to Covent Garden and is just across from the Royal Opera House. When I go back I will definitely be staying here again

Great hotel with friendly staff In a nice location away from the riff-raff The rooms were large with flat screen TVs And all the beds were large and comfy as I could see The shower had pressure and heat And getting lots of free toiletries was very neat. Good hotel, would stay again Good luck and amen

Great location, very close to shops, grocery and hustle and bustle of Covent garden. Yet it's located on a quaint and quiet side street. Rooms are well maintained, staff are very kind and hospitable. 24 hour desk open. Most importantly, the bathroom is very clean and modern. Great price for location, will definitely recommend to others.

Quiet little hotel in Covent Garden. I'm on business trips to High Holborn quite often and really love staying in the Fielding Hotel. Yes, it's small with (mostly) tiny rooms and narrow corridors. Yes, it's a little old-fashioned. Yes, it's dark green inside. But hey, it's a nice and convenient hotel that has everything I need on a business trip: A safe and tidy and quiet place to sleep, reasonably priced (especially for London!). As said, the Fielding Hotel might look and feel a little old-fashioned, but it has its own charm. Definitely not the place to impress business partners, hold conferences (they don't have conference rooms) or spend your holidays. But I'd rather stay here than in an anonymus concrete bunker with a spa, it's special. The owner is constantly improving the quality of the rooms and hotel in general and the staff is always very helpful and friendly, not just for returning visitors. I like it.
