Room setup and comfort

Rooms are compact but thoughtfully equipped, featuring a kitchenette with a Nespresso machine, filtered tap water, and daily housekeeping. Express check-in and check-out, safety deposit boxes, and room service add convenience for those focused on getting work done.

Atmosphere and guest type

The hotel has a calm, boutique atmosphere with a shared lounge area. Staff are consistently praised for being friendly and attentive. Guests tend to be couples and solo travelers visiting the West End — the vibe is social but not noisy, which works well for remote workers who want company without distraction.

Getting around from here

Charing Cross Tube Station is 230 meters away, and Covent Garden Tube (Piccadilly Line direct to Heathrow) is a 3-minute walk. Multiple bus stops are right outside, and Tottenham Court Road and Embankment stations are also within walking distance — getting across London is straightforward from this location.

Value for money

For a 4-star boutique hotel in central London, The Resident is competitive on price. With an on-site restaurant, room service, kitchenette facilities, and a highly rated team, it offers a well-rounded package for a workation stay in the West End.

Location

The hotel sits on Bedford Street between The Strand and Covent Garden, one of London's most walkable and well-connected areas. Charing Cross Tube is 230 meters away and Covent Garden Tube is a 3-minute walk. Dozens of restaurants, cafés, and shops are within 5 minutes on foot, and Trafalgar Square is a short stroll away. The neighborhood is lively during the day but manageable — ideal for stepping out between calls or finding a nearby café to work from.

Final thoughts

The Resident Covent Garden is a reliable, well-run boutique hotel in one of London's best locations for a workation. Clean rooms, free WiFi, kitchenette facilities, and an exceptionally friendly team make it easy to settle in and stay productive. Best suited for solo workers or couples combining remote work with exploring the city.

Simple, compact, no frills, clean

Simple fuss free boutique hotel. Very small but functional and clean toilet. Room size was ok. Very convenient kitchenette with filtered tap water. Lots of food around the area and near underground and bus stop

A++ Hotel

Everything about the hotel was wonderful, from the large, heated towels to the amazing staff to the Nespresso maker in the kitchenettes. Now that I've stayed there, I won't stay anywhere else.

A comfortable stay in the heart of central London

The hotel is 3-minute walk to Covent Garden, 5-minute walk to Trafalgar square and 7-minute to Leicester square. There are nearby bus stops and train stations that make it convenient to travel around the city. So many restaurants, shops and supermarkets around the hotel. The staffs here are very nice and friendly. The rooms are spacious and clean. We have to applaud the cleaning team since it's the cleanest room that we have been in UK and EU. The bed is so comfortable, not too hard, not too soft. I actually want to bring it back home since I sleep so well every night here. The bathroom equipment is new and modern.
