The Lost Property St. Paul’s Hotel London Review Curio by Hilton

Lost Property, St Paul’s, Curio Collection London

Today’s Reader review is from Andrew Beaumont, who has been a longtime TLFL subscriber and reader. If you’re interested to read more about The Lost Property St. Paul’s Hotel, then you can read another article about this hotel here. 

As a Diamond Honors Member working in The City, I really wanted to see what this new hotel was like as hotels that are walkable from the office (The Gherkin) aren’t common.  My go-to ‘local’ hotel was the DT Tower of London, so was eager to compare.  I stayed not long after it opened.

I booked via the Hilton App on an ‘Honors semi-flex rate of 187 GBP.  This was for a Queen Room.  

Location-wise, it is next to St Paul’s (the closest tube as well) so very well located.

The hotel was surrounded by fencing when I got to it:

When I approached reception, the staff were so polite and engaging.  It was clear that they were proud of their hotel.  I had been upgraded to a King Deluxe room, and there was nothing higher available in the app (although they do have Junior Suites).  The drinks vouchers for Gold and Diamond members hadn’t been delivered yet, but they hand-wrote me one.

The room was excellent and compact, with a huge bathroom.  Bottled toiletries in the shower rather than the typical ‘little bottles’ that never have enough in them.  Great AC, which worked really well.  The Nespresso machine was an excellent addition.  The table was challenging to work on.

I didn’t eat in the restaurant at night but had breakfast, and although it was a buffet, there were nice little touches like flat mushrooms, individual coffee pots etc.  

The hotel had many other nice touches, like the ‘lost’ person in reception (a mannequin) and a display charting some of the histories of Hilton.

Overall, it was a great stay in a great location at a decent rate. The staff made the stay, though.
 

Final point.  The key cards were sustainable.  Completely recyclable.

  1. Obviously review was not 2 weeks back as we stayed in the hotel back in September 2022! We had the fences up as roadworks were occurring on the Ludgate Hill pavement with occasional drilling ! Small rooms and dark due to proximity of office buildings so keep your curtains drawn! Nice touches in the bathroom amenities however not sufficient to compensate for cost of rooms ! As Gold Members, we stayed on a Points and Stay as well as Cash thus 2 separate reservations which the front desk had difficulty with having been upgraded upon check in but wanted us to move and downgrade for the cash stay! It was embarrassing to have the matter loudly discussed in the reception area with other guests there! Discretion is needed! Eventually it was sorted out (and subsequently gained an apology and compensation gesture from the Manager)! The restaurant was the high point with fine evening meal with very attentive staff. Sadly it was not well patronised so we hope it has gained favour since!

    1. No it was from a while as we had already had one on the same property. So we delayed publishing it.
