I mentioned we were celebrating a friend’s birthday and the staff produced a beautifully presented candle-lit slice of cake to go with our seasonal cocktails- I wish we could have stayed longer. The ambience was perfect.

Who is unfortunately does feel like a lobby in the sense that space is very open and not very comfortable. No live music. Service a bit slow, tables too close. We had 2 new cocktails that were not very nice. All in all not a classy experience at all.

We had a lovely couple of hours with cocktails and food. Excellent service and the most beautiful lobby bar. Cocktails were delicious as was our fish and chips and one aldwych burger. It is quite expensive but we had a voucher for our evening, which was a bonus.

An elegant and really welcoming place to mark a special occasion for two friends and perfect post lockdown to socialise again safely feeling glamorous in the heart of the West End but also airy and intimate. We’ve been coming here over many years and it’s as good as ever.

We have been coming to the lobby bar at the One Aldwych Hotel for years and years, the best Long Island Ice Tea in London! Always loved it, always will

Great place to meet for cocktails. Wonderful wide choice, beautifully presented and mixed. Service was outstanding. The large airy space had great atmosphere with stunning features. We enjoyed the bar food too with something for every taste. Can’t wait to return.

Simply the best gluten free restaurant around. The service is excellent, the atmosphere is great and the hotel itself is beautiful. Fourth time I’ve been now and have booked to go again for afternoon tea, a luxury that is rarely enjoyed by someone with an allergy to gluten.
