Staff was helpful. Concierge service was adequate in the evenings and mornings. I was here on business and didn’t mind being away from more touristy areas; however, if that is a deal breaker for you I would not recommend the hotel.

The hotel itself is very nice and the rooms are comfortable and decent in size. The hotel is close to the tube stations and is well situated. The front desk was very helpful and friendly upon arrival and during my stay.
I was grateful to use the executive lounge as it had good food and plenty of good drinks. The hours are great and they were accommodating to a hectic schedule.
The neighborhood is a bit dodgy and I didn’t always feel safe at night walking to and from the underground stations. The hotel is off the main road and is quiet but the neighborhood itself just doesn’t seem the best.
The beds are comfortable and the bathroom was spacious for London. Good hotel.

The Marble Arch Marriott is a very nice hotel with extra amenities such as free English breakfast, free wifi, and a great gym. They have an executive lounge which serves complimentary drinks, breakfast, afternoon canapés, beer, wine, soft drinks, coffee, and hot chocolate along with fruit juices and bottled water. The staff is professional and friendly and the concierge offers great advice — from restaurants, tour packages, and shopping suggestions.
So, why just 2 stars? I am deducting 1 star for the location. There are several Marriott hotels in and around London. This one is located in a very Middle Eastern ethnic area — not that there is anything wrong with that — it’s just that nearly all of the shops within a mile of this hotel cater to the local population — hookah bars, Iraqi, Afghani, Lebanese, and Egyptian restaurants, shops, and markets abound. Much more of a Middle-​Eastern (rather than British) atmosphere and ambiance.
I really wanted to see English pubs and Fish & Chip Shops. Even touristy shops selling souvenir trinkets and English kitsch. I was very disappointed to have to have walked nearly 1 mile before seeing the London shops and stores that I remembered, but that’s how large this Middle-​Eastern Bazaar surrounding the hotel has become. And all of the homeless and beggars — very sad. So, while this hotel is really nice, I’ll be staying at the Marriott across from Big Ben the next time I’m in London.

The location is lovely and convenient, right in the west end with easy access to Oxford Street, Soho, Marble Arch (obviously), etc. The hotel itself in my opinion is not great value for money, but I suppose with such a good location that’s to be expected. The staff are very friendly and courteous and polite but without being overbearing. The rooms are nicely decorated, quite spacious, the beds are sooooo comfy, and they have quite a wide rang of available TV channels. I did however experience a few complications, people were noisy and loud outside the room at stupid o’clock, the hotel lost my luggage, and so I’m not sure I personally would stay here again, but it is generally an all-​around pleasant hotel.

I am reviewing the Centrale Brasserie, which the Marriott wisely does not list as a restaurant, because sadly it is well below par for a restaurant and should not be given that privilege. The service was equally bad with the food not being served and the drinks not arriving until we asked several times.
The hotel is fine but the restaurant is not. The only reason we ate there was convenience but in retrospect should have left the hotel and gone out.
We ordered two appetizers and 2 entrees. The beet hummus and the cheese plate first. Difficult to mess up but the hummus was really very red as expected and was smooth like butter. No flavors just bland. Not sure of ingredients. Cheeses were fine. Std three blocks with the cheddar being crusted over as it may have been sitting for a while. Brie was ok and the third was something else, not clear what. Chutney was a blob of raisins in syrup. Not very good omen for the meal. We ordered a beer and it was supposed to be draft bass ale. It was watered down so we returned them both. There was really no taste and if felt like it had more water than anything else. Adding insult to injury they charged us for the beer even though they took it back!
Entrees were chicken sandwich and salad (which never arrived) and pork chop with cilantro mash (which is a blob of green mashed potatoes that oozes water). The chicken sandwich was leathery and barely edible. The pork chop was really more pork skin (at least one inch of fat) and then the bone with a quarter inch thick chop accompanied by root vegetables. The root vegetables by the way were potatoes! Not very appetizing at all. I ordered a glass of wine to make it more tolerable and the pour was supposed to be 125ml, barely covered the bottom of the glass. The wine was disgusting — do not try it, as the Cabernet of the house it is undrinkable. The response is that it was pre measured… I had had enough at that stage and did not take it further.
AVOID this place at all costs.

I would say that the London Marriott Marble Arch is a pretty good hotel and exactly what you would expect for a Marriott. The hotel staff is really friendly and accommodating, the hotel is clean and it is in a pretty good location. My only complaint about the location is that there is no Tube station near it, but there is a bus stop a couple of steps away from the hotel (yay for double decker buses!). I loved how they let us store our luggage there for a week while we did a side trip to Paris, free of charge!

We are Marriott Platinum guest so where ever we go, it’s usually a Marriott. This is the firs time we have stayed at this Marriott, and while the location is slightly outside our usual area, we did quite enjoy it.
Check in was very friendly, though having «feather free» in our profile seldom finds us with a feather free room on check in.
Our breakfast was included and we took it downstairs. A beautiful spread and the chef manning the eggs and hot dishes was a delightful friendly guy. I so much enjoyed talking to him I left my omelet on the buffet
The 12^th floor lounge for the entitled was wonderful, again with fantastic friendly staff and free drinks wine/​beer/​soda and snack from 5:30 –9. In the morning a more abbreviated breakfast is also served here.
The gym, on B2 was well appointed and also had a 2 lane pool and hot tub! The pre-​core machines were new and nice but needed some professional leveling as they rocked back and forth.
The area kind of a little Beirut has some nice things not to be missed like Al Arez just across the street the lamb schwarma for 3.50 is great on the go. We also walked the Duke of Kendal Pub for Sunday roast that was wonderful. Paddington Station is a 10 – 13 minute walk.

Dieses Hotel spaltet mein Herz etwas. Auf der einen Seite ist das Marriott Marble Arch ein Haus der gehobenen Klasse mit entsprechendem Komfort und Service. Der Preis ist London-​typisch.
Auf der anderen Seite merkt man dem Gebäude an, dass es schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist. Aber auch das ist solange es sauber ist (und das ist es immer gewesen) akzeptabel.
Einen Punkt ziehe ich aber ab, da der Fitnessraum des Hotels überhaupt nicht der sonst vorhandenen Qualität des Hauses entspricht. Der Zustand der Geräte ist schlecht, die Hygiene erfüllt nicht meine Erwartungen. Da hilft es auch nicht, dass eine freundliche Mitarbeiterin am Eingang des Gyms einem ein Handtuch reicht. Hier ist dringend Handlungsbedarf.
Die Gegend um das Hotel herum ist sehr interessant man sollte ruhig einmal eines der arabischen Restaurants ausprobieren. Wer sich gerne günstig selbst versorgt findet Supermärkte mit langen Öffnungszeiten (bis 24h) und auch McDonald’s ganz in der Nähe
Ein Geheimtip ist die Lage wer gerne laufen geht ist in wenigen Minuten mitten im Hydepark. Der Shoppinginteressierte benötigt dagegen nur einige Minuten mehr um die ersten großen Kaufhäuser zu sehen.

Gutes Hotel mit echt amerikanischem Ambiente und Fruehstueck. Optimal gelegen für den Touristen, der die Stadt erkunden möchte (U-​Bahn und Bus gleich um die Ecke). Nicht wirklich guenstig, aber man ist halt in London. Interessante Nachbarschaft: arabische bzw. libanesche Cafés mit Wasserpfeifen.

Came to London for two weeks for work and decided to stay here based on location. The best thing about this hotel is by far the location. It is in close walking proximity to several tube stops and also only a 10 – 15 minute walk to Paddington Station which makes commuting in and out of London very easy.
The other bonus is the ease of which to find food in the area. There are a multitude of restaurants within very close walking distance.
The room I stayed in was quite nice, but the hotel in general seemed a little run down compared to a standard Marriott.
The hotel gym and pool were nice, but the setup was terrible. You had to walk through the pool area, often soaking wet slippery tiles, to get to the gym. So you’d end up in the gym with slippery shoes, not the best idea for running on a treadmill.
The executive lounge was meh compared to other Marriotts I’ve stayed in. The breakfast was fine, but the food later in the evening was usually something like a giant warming pan filled with chicken nuggets.
Given a rate of nearly 300 dollars a night I was surprised it wasn’t nicer. It is a perfectly passable hotel, it is just expensive for what you get.

This was our first visit to London. We chose this location because we are Marriott club members and the price was reasonable. First the good: A beautiful, clean, modern facility. Our room was spacious by big city standards. The service was friendly and first rate. The concierge and bellman was extremely helpful. Now the not so good: Location. Yes it is safe, but distant from any major attraction in London. You will need to take a cab. Also, the restaurant is lame. We were looking forward to food with a local flavor and dined on French cuisine. This was a difficult review. If you don’t mind the location and don’t plan to eat at the hotel, this is a fine choice.

Really a fabulous hotel and well situated n the hub of the West End. the hotel offers comfy rooms and an excellent menu either in the restaurant or room service. Step outside into Edgware Road and enjoy the many lebanese restaurants or take a stroll to marble Arch and the beginning of the buzz of Oxford Street .The only downside was there was no internet access in my room-​so I dropped a star.

Muy buen hotel situado cerquita del Marble Arch. Las habitaciones son enormes, comodísimas, y los desayunos de 10. A 10 mn andando encuentras el metro. Ideal para ir con niños

This is a 4 star hotel so naturally there is very friendly and attentive service. There is a solid breakfast buffet with made to order omelets and a nice bar/​lounge area. The gym is standard for a hotel, but I think the best part about this place is the location. It’s walking distance to Hyde Park, Abby Road, Marble Arch, Oxford and Piccadilly Circus etc. It’s also right off Edgeware road which is a middle eastern area in London so the hookahs and Lebanese, Kurdish, Turkish, Persian etc restaurants abound!

4 star hotel??? Are you kidding me? I’ve expected a lot more for what I’ve paid! If this was in the States, there’s no way this hotel would be considered 4 stars. Just look at the pictures I’ve taken and tell me if you think it’s worth paying $ 318/​night. British Airways picked this hotel and gave me a voucher for the first night when my flight got canceled due to the snow storm. There are 4 Marriott hotels in this neighborhood and this is unfortunately the ugliest and the oldest Marriott I’ve ever been. Upon my arrival, I was in disbelief that this is the Marriott that I was supposed to stay. Nooo, this can’t be it!!! But unfortunately it was… Doh! Covered in scaffolding, the hotel looked dilapidated and sad. Although the location is good (walking distance from the Marble Arch tube station and very close to major shopping area), I’m still amazed at how they can possibly justify such an expensive room rate…
I had no idea that I’ll be staying here for the next 4 nights. Starting the 2^nd night, I had to pay out of my own pocket with the promise made by British Airways that they will reimburse the fee later. It’s been more than weeks since I submitted my reimbursement request but I still haven’t heard anything back from BA. Not a thing!!! Since I wasn’t sure exactly when is my next flight, I ended up staying at different room every night and got to compare the rooms. Basically they can be summarized in a few words: tiny, old, dark, and no extra amenities. They don’t even provide hair conditioner, you just get a tiny bottle of shampoo, bath gel, lotion, soap, tooth brush, and hair cap. Not good enough for a 4 star hotel!!! And no free-​wifi!!! If you want a wi-​fi access, you need to pay $ 25/​day. Big boo to that! The 5 star Langham Place Hotel in Hong Kong charges less than $ 300/​night and provides 100 times better experience and service than this Marriott! We get a free set of nice toiletry kits, complimentary fruits, chocolates, and bottles of water, free-​wifi, free computer, free gym, sauna, and swimming pool, and great breakfast buffet!!! This Marriot makes Langham Place looks like a palace for real.
Although the hotel sucked and the restaurant downstairs too was so subpar and slow, and got my order wrong, I must say at least the staff was nice. I particularly liked the tall Hungarian guy and the tall dirty blond German-​looking staff at the hotel reception, they were friendly and very helpful in providing the latest update on the airport & flight status, and were very sympathetic towards my situation. If it wasn’t for the staff, I’d rate this hotel 1 star. I wouldn’t be complaining or expecting so much if it was like $ 120/​night hotel (it looks like $ 120/​night at most). Only in London a hotel like this can get away with an extortion like this. Unbelievable!

Out of all of the hotels I have stayed at in the UK, this was somewhat average. The location was not bad — close to the Marble Arch and Hyde Park, which makes it a short, convenient walk to the bus stop for the Original Tour Company. The neighborhood otherwise doesn’t contain much I cared to spend time in too long. There is a hookah lounge about a block away and a couple of restaurants, but I didn’t really feel like dilly-​dallying too long outside of the hotel. There was a fire alarm which causes us to have to go outside and wait for re-​entrance. Otherwise, it was just okay for me.

A marriott’s a marriott. I stay in these at least once a week for work in the states. I love them!
This one is a bit on the older side it seems so watch out for the beds. Mine felt like it had metal bars running through it, so it had kind of a wavy feel. not sure if that was just mine, or all of them. Also the TV is tiny.
All in all the staff was great, and the location’s pretty good. I walked to oxford st, picadilly circus, lecester square, and then down to Big Ben (a long walk, but totally doable). Enjoy your stay when you’re here!

I actually went there with some friends recently who were celebrating a eighteenth birthday and it was really marvellous. We actually had dinner in the 140 Park Lane Restaurant and not only was the food divine-​cooked in a innovative way at the head of our table but the wines were just superb. The service was attentive but unobstrusive and the surroundings plush and very luxurious-​it was an effort for me to get out of those very comfortable armchair like seats.

This tall tower of a hotel is located just off Edgware road in London. It’s a fabulous location because it is very near Paddington and is also a walking distance to Oxford Street and Hyde Park. The rooms are smallish but this is standard for a central London hotel. The food is excellent with several Arabic dishes on the menu. If you choose not to eat in, there are plenty of small eateries nearby. The rooms are very clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. The bedding especially is fabulous — you don’t feel like getting out of bed in the morning. The service is good and the health club and pool, though small, are adequate. Overall, it a very good hotel and an excellent base for a trip to London.
Note that this is not the Marriott you see when you come out of the Marble Arch station. For reasons of their own, that one’s called the Marriott Park Lane.
