The hotel was nice, and well located. Staff upon check in were very pleasant.

The room was the only disappointing bit. It was tiny, the lights didn’t work in the bathroom and there was only one paper thin pillow on the bed.

Easy check in, lux room good for Soho, good toiletries, comfy bed, great location. Items for improvement- no tea bags (gave pods for the coffee machine which were worse than useless, no kettle and you had to remove the machine from the cupboard and plug in elsewhere). No shelves/area in the bathroom to put anything. The bar closed at 11:30 and hotel guests could not get anything after that to take to room which was disappointing. A little noisy due to the area, could do with double glazing. Would stay here again though.

The location of the hotel and the friendlyness of the staff were great. The room size was smaller than I'm used to but I think that is just a difference in culture not quality. I'm from the USA and everything seems bigger here.

The reception asked me for 10 points when I dropped off my luggage. How many hours have I been there? This is the first time this has happened to me, and I've traveled almost the entire world. It's the first time in my life a hotel asks for money to drop off a luggage. Where is the hospitality and service? You are charging us a fee for staying at your hotel, and you are making us pay for a free service like this, which is like all hotels in the world. Please review the service and make it free. Thank you.

I booked the small room and I knew it was small but man the bed takes up the entire space. I guess it’s good for a solo traveler but it’s not worth the price. There is zero ventilation in the bathroom, and after showering the bathroom had a weird smell. The pillows are “down” but when you lay on them they squish to nothing. Basically a thin sheet. Bed was comfortable.
They were able to check me in early which I appreciated. However, I asked if they could hold my back for a few hours after my stay so we could walk around without carrying them. And they said it would be 10 pounds each. I thought that was odd since I was a guest of the hotel.
Cleaning staff extremely wonderful and kind!

For over £300 a night the “apartment” was just a room with few amenities. The lighting was terrible, the terrace just faced the back of a building and the hotel then thinks it’s acceptable to charge £10 per item to store your bags! 2 stars is generous.

For about the same price as a certain boring hotel chain rumoured to have bedbugs you are much better off staying somewhere with character. Mimi's was perfect for an overnight stay before travelling on. The room was small as advertised and I enjoyed the creative ways they've made the room comfortable and fit in everything you need. My room was super quiet despite the busy bar downstairs and on the street, and lots of small rooms close together. Staff were nice, bed comfy, shower fine. Basic breakfast on request but plenty of options nearby for something more substantial. Would stay again. Ignore the moaning reviews from people who apparently didn't read the very honest listings or look at the pictures and were expecting acres of space.

The room was pretty small, but it was very clean and good for one or 2 nights. The ensuite shower was much better quality than I'd anticipated, which was another plus. The check-in staff were very helpful and the hotel is in a central area, which made it easy to get where I needed to go. The minuses were how hard the mattress was, and that people were revving up large motorbikes and roaring around nearby until about 1am - even my earplugs couldn't completely muffle the noise. The rooms are very well soundproofed from each other, though.

Terrible service plus needs investment

Having stayed at Mimi’s many times before and since I was coming for 3 nights, I took care to budget a little more and avoid any of the rooms that had “no wardrobe” in the title. I was very disappointed to find, then, that not only did my room not have a wardrobe but that it was even smaller than the rooms in the basement

I made my point at reception immediately and to be honest, would have been happy with an apology & maybe a voucher for a drink at the bar (the cocktails are good), but instead the young men attending reception blamed me for booking a room that didn’t state that it had a wardrobe (none of them say this, not even the penthouse), that it wasn’t their fault, that I should complain to the platform (I did but was told, quite predictably, that the hotel controls the listings) and that they weren’t going to apologise or offer any form of recompense.

It was the most appalling misogynistic behaviour I have received as a hotel customer. It is a shame as the hotel is in a perfect location for me now that my company had returned to Soho. But obviously, I will never go back.

Additionally, the new owners have put no money into the property. Halogen lights in the room, bathroom fittings tired, the broadband had clearly been downgraded (7MBpS is not even fast enough for desk work, let alone calls) & no mobile signal in the room. I have given a second star as I requested an additional pillow from the evening receptionist & it was in my room when I returned from dinner).

The location of this hotel was absolutely perfect—right in the heart of Soho and just a short distance from everything. It made getting around incredibly convenient. However, the room I stayed in had no windows, which could be uncomfortable for those who are claustrophobic. I’m not sure why I was given this room, especially since the rate was on the higher end. Additionally, I’ve noticed a recurring issue when booking through Expedia: I often end up with rooms that lack basic amenities or natural light. This time, the room felt a bit underwhelming for the price, given the lack of windows and other amenities. On a positive note, the staff were very accommodating and allowed me to check in early, which was much appreciated.

Booking from the app I knew there were tiny room but I thought I got a regular single room. It turned out to be a tiny room with no closet. As a heavy packer this was tricky and they had no bigger rooms to upgrade to. Thankfully I was only staying 2 nights. Next there were no wash cloth sized towels. Apparently that’s normal in london?

Smallest Room Ever!

Stayed in this room for one night. As you can see from the picture, the room was as wide as the bed and only 2-3 feet longer than the bed. It was a decent hotel at a decent price in the Theater District, but was quite claustrophobic. The bar inside the hotel was independently owned and the bar tender was as rude as they come, so skip going there.

The room was hot and the air con unit squeaked very loudly when you put it on. We were away from the hotel in a separate block which was not clear on the booking and was 4 flights up with no lift, which is OK when you don't have luggage - not a great stay to be honest

Quaint boutique hotel in the heart of SOHO. From the hotel It was an easy walk through SOHO, Chinatown, Piccadilly Circus, and Westminster sites. Lobby bar was open all day, and a quieter retreat from the weekend revelry just outside. The room was small, not unlike typical European accommodations, but modern and well kept. I’d stay there again.

Fine, cute, cold.

Cute little boutique hotel in the centre of Soho, I had a pod-room with no window for one night. It worked well, the condition and cleanliness was very high standard. The room was freezing cold, and the ventilation was noisy, with no option to turn it off. As someone who hates air conditioning, this was a huge minus. I slept well, but woke up feeling refridgerated.
There’s a very busy and loud bar right next to the reception, so it’s hard to communicate with the staff, as they don’t seem to make an effort to speak any louder. I would consider staying there again, but not during a London heatwave.

The location was perfect, so walkable and so much around! Overall, the hotel didn’t necessarily impress us. We were unaware at the time of booking that our room was in “The Annex”, located around the corner from the main hotel building. This Annex is not identified as Mimi’s hotel, it is a random teal coloured door next to a bar. There is no elevator in the Annex, with rooms on all 4 levels.. so be prepared for lots of stairs.

Our original room upon check in was not what we thought we had booked according to the photos. The bathroom was very very small, incredibly hot and had a terrible smell to it. We alerted the front desk and they sent someone up to spray air freshener, this accomplished nothing. There was no window in this room, rather an incredibly small “balcony” entirely enclosed by surrounding walls of buildings. The “balcony” was home to many pigeons, so we could not leave the door open to allow for fresh air. This room was very dark, very small with no room for our suitcases. We later asked to be moved to a different room, which ended up being on the top floor of the Annex. The room was a bit bigger, with a small couch to provide a different sitting area than the bed. The bathroom was very spacious. However, on our first night in this new room, we were greeted by a large cockroach on our bathroom counter. When we alerted the hotel the following day, they did not seem surprised. They offered to deep clean our room..

Overall, good location, just an ok hotel.

The basement windowless room was as advertised. Very small and tomb-like. But it was clean. Almost no room at all to put luggage so I’d advise against these rooms if you have a lot of bags. You won’t fit! Good for a solo traveler with just a carry on. Also a larger person might have difficulty fitting in the shower. It’s very tall but pretty small. The air conditioning worked almost too well. Needed to shut it off in order to sleep because it was freezing… which made it seem almost stuffy. I’d stay here again if only for a night or too. Great location in SoHo. Staff was helpful.
