Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel just makes sense for when you are in London and want somewhere clean, safe ans modern to stay. Modern, clean and affordable in the heart of London. First time staying in a pod hotel. The bathrooms had underfloor heating, lots of space downstairs to chill, eat or work and the 24 hour self serve bar is such a good idea."

"The rioms were impeccable, hotel lobby was lavish, and the staff were hospitable. We only stayed for 1 night but it was a great experience. I definitely recommend this property and would look forward for future stay here."
