This place is consistently good; I keep coming back because it is so dependable. The staff are welcoming and friendly; the bed is always extremely comfortable and the linen brightly white. Towels are big, thick and fluffy; the shower is always easily regulated and quite spacious enough. All of this in an affordable place at the heart of Soho, from where most things I need are walkable. The lively atmosphere there is a bonus, too.

I felt like I was walking g into a five star hotel! The staff was so nice and helpful and booked me a car to the airport right away. I had to turn the air conditioning down because it worked so well the room was cold! Although the room was small, just as advertised, it was perfect for me. Very clean. The shower was awesome with both a hand and rain shower heads and plenty of pressure and the towels were huge and fluffy. Had a n espresso maker for an early morning. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit. It’s close to everything! Walked everywhere. Tons of restaurants, bars theater and shopping.

We booked a “studio apartment“ on Expedia. The listing made no mention that our room was not in the hotel but in fact around the corner on Greek Street in a separate building with no lift and very steep stairs. Our room was 701 on the 3rd floor. Our friends had booked the same type of room but on the 1st floor. On arrival, the window was open (albeit boiling outside) - the room was so hot we had to do a quick turn around and leave. We closed the window put off a large fan that was on and put the air conditioning up full blast. We then went out and came back 2 hours later hoping the room had cooled down. It hadn’t. The a/c unit was clearly not working properly. Uninhabitable. The hotel must’ve known this hence the fan blasting - the temps had been high in London for a week before we arrived.

The suite itself wasn’t a suite but rather a small room with a small sink and had seen better days. Our friends on the first floor had a bigger room and air conditioning that worked.

We had to leave as there were no alternative rooms, even though we had all booked to be together. We found a hotel with working a/c 15 minutes walk away. This took up hours of our day and made our trip clunky since we had to split up.

Mimi’s agreed to refund two nights but on reflection they should have refunded all three given we couldn’t have stayed a single night. We had already wasted part of our day and were too hot and tired to argue further, so we accepted.

All in, a terrible experience.

Fantastic stay. The staff were incredibly helpful, polite and kind, especially when I had a small issue with a bag, which turned out to be entirely my own fault. The room was very small, so you do need to be prepared for that, but it was extremely comfortable and ideal for a short stay.

The air conditioning was exceptional, which made a huge difference, and despite being right in the centre of Soho, the room was wonderfully quiet at night. The bar was also very reasonably priced for tea and coffee, and they made a fantastic espresso.

I have no complaints at all. It is a great choice if you want somewhere central, comfortable, quiet and easy. I would definitely stay again.

I was catfished. We walked in the room and immediately laughed, the room was the size of a closet. Not even a hobbit could walk in the room without bumping into walls.

Could barely fit 3 suitcases in the room. You are better off doing an Airbnb for 160 a night.

Staff was nice and room was clean however I find it impossible it is legal to have these mini windowless dungeons on the market.

The location is excellent. Cleanliness is top. Attractive decor. Popular romantic bar in lobby. Traditional pub next door are the pluses.

Small rooms (but it is Europe), low bath faucet pressure. There is a motorcycle bar a block down so late night noise on weekends from the motorcycles but that is not the hotels fault as there is nothing they can do about it.

The staff and location were truly impressive. The bar was conveniently situated and served good coffee, cocktails, and friendly bartenders. However, the room was so cramped that moving around comfortably was a challenge. The shower design wasn’t very practical, since water often spilled onto the floor outside. The towels were thick and plush, but unfortunately, washcloths weren’t provided. The bed leaned on the firmer side, and the pillows were pretty thin. On a positive note, the Molton Brown bath products were a nice touch.

Great lobby and lounge, however the rooms & hallways were dingy with a foul smell. Rooms are extremely small. With the pub next door there is no chance of sleep…
We found the front desk staff and bar staff to be incredibly cold/rude. I travel with medication that requires refrigeration. Given no refrigerator in room, I was told I could turn it over to them, versus them providing an ice to maintain its temperature. Better choices in Soho exist.

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 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 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.

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.
