Citadines Trafalgar Square London: Self-catering studios and apartments with kitchenettes, steps from Trafalgar Square

Location & Landmarks

The hotel sits 150 meters from Trafalgar Square, placing guests within a 2-minute walk of the National Gallery and a 10-minute walk of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Embankment Underground Station is a 2-minute walk, and Charing Cross Station is equally close, providing access to the Tube, trains, and Uber boats. Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, and The Mall are all reachable on foot, making this a base for exploring central London without using public transport.

Rooms & Kitchenettes

All accommodations include a compact kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator, hob, and tea/coffee facilities, allowing guests to prepare low-cost meals. Studios and one-bedroom apartments offer separate living areas, satellite TV, sound system, and work desks, with some rooms featuring a dishwasher. The building is historic but interiors have been updated with contemporary amenities, and soundproof windows keep street noise out in this busy location.

Family Amenities

The hotel provides a dedicated Kid's Corner with toys and activities, plus high chairs and cots available on request. Families can book one-bedroom apartments with a separate lounge and sofa bed that splits into two single beds. A laundry room with four washers and four dryers is available (operated via app), and the lobby offers free hot drinks and a water dispenser 24 hours a day.

Dining & Services

A daily buffet breakfast costs £12-£15 and includes hot items, pastries, fruit, and a separate gluten-free station with a dedicated toaster. Complimentary hot drinks and sparkling water are available all day in the lobby lounge. The 24-hour front desk can store luggage, assist with dry cleaning, and arrange early check-in when possible, and the hotel is pet-friendly with a charge of £15 per pet per night.

Business & Practical

The hotel offers a business centre, fax/photocopying services, and a well-equipped gym with a gym bag provided for guest use. Key card access, CCTV, safety deposit boxes, and 24-hour staff ensure security, while the wheelchair-accessible entrance has a ramp and lowered bathroom amenities. Charing Cross and Embankment stations are within 200 meters, making commuting to meetings or airports straightforward.

“The location places you squarely in the heart of London, with major attractions just a short walk away. I especially appreciate the inclusion of compact kitchenettes; a practical touch that balances cost and convenience, particularly for families or longer stays. The blend of a historic building with modern interiors seems well executed, offering a quiet retreat amidst a bustling city.”
