Melia White House, London

I have just returned from a weekend break in London - and what a time I had. I had never been to London before and so I was very excited to go to the big city. We went to London as part of a coach tour and so we didn’t have a choice regarding the hotel. The hotel which we stayed at was Amelia Whitehouse Hotel London. As we were going as part of a coach tour, we didn’t know which hotel we were staying at until a week or so before we were going (even though we had booked a couple of months previously). So the day before we were due to go, I had a quick look at their website and was impressed. I ... more

The Melia White House is easy to find and very well connected. it is located 2 minutes walk from Regents Park tube station which is perfect for going west/east along the top of the circle line (e.g. if you're going to be travelling ... more

I stayed at the Melia White House hotel in June 2008, on my first trip to London. Finding our way from Heathrow T5 to the hotel, negotiating the underground, was surprisingly easy, as the hotel is situated within 5 minutes walk of Great Portland St underground station, just outside leafy Regents Park. Warren St and Regents Park underground stations are also within 10 minutes walk in either direction. The hotel may not look a lot from the exterior, however step inside and the reception is bright, airy and spacious. The reception area is immaculate and covered in marble, and expensive looking ... more

Having read the inimitable Tiger Eyes’ wonderful review but negative experience of the White House Hotel it was with apprehension that I “looked forward” to staying there on an unavoidable pre-booked long weekend. To make matters worse I arrived at the hotel at around 2.00 a.m. after a delayed flight. The reception area was very large, if a bit confusing for a befuddled mind…. Spreads out in a lot of directions and lots of different things seem to be happening there. The receptionist looked a bit serious but my first pleasant surprise was to receive a complimentary ... more
