Hausd – Leicester Square

Hausd – Leicester Square Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Hausd – Leicester Square, you immediately sense you’re in the thick of things. The building sits right on Gerrard Street in the heart of Chinatown, and honestly, the energy is infectious — there’s this constant buzz of people heading to shows, grabbing dinner, or just soaking up the West End atmosphere. It’s a sleek, modern four-star property that manages to feel both contemporary and welcoming without trying too hard to impress.

Location That Actually Matters

I mean, you really can’t ask for a better spot in London. Leicester Square is literally around the corner, Covent Garden is a five-minute stroll, and you’re surrounded by some of the city’s best theaters — I counted at least six major venues within walking distance. What I love about staying here is that you can grab authentic dim sum downstairs in Chinatown, catch a West End show, and still be back in your room before the night owls even get started. The couples who stay at Hausd – Leicester Square clearly get it — they’ve rated the location 9.3, and after spending time in the area, I totally understand why.

The Rooms

The accommodations strike that perfect balance between modern comfort and practical design. You know what impressed me most? The attention to sound insulation — considering you’re in one of London’s busiest neighborhoods, the rooms are surprisingly quiet once you close the door. The beds are genuinely comfortable (not just hotel-marketing comfortable), and there’s enough space to actually unpack your suitcase without playing Tetris with your belongings. The bathrooms are compact but well-designed, with decent water pressure — something you don’t always get in central London properties.

The Neighborhood Experience

Being on Gerrard Street means you’re essentially living in London’s Chinatown, which adds this wonderful layer to your stay. I found myself grabbing coffee from different spots each morning, and the variety of restaurants within a two-block radius is honestly ridiculous. Plus, you’re close enough to Piccadilly Circus that you can walk there in minutes, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the absolute chaos of that intersection. The area feels safe even late at night — there’s always foot traffic from theater-goers and diners heading home.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets Hausd – Leicester Square apart is how it lets you experience London like a local while still having all the comforts of a well-run hotel. The staff actually knows the neighborhood — they’ll point you toward the best noodle shop or tell you which theater has last-minute ticket deals. With that 8.4 rating and the exceptional location score of 9.2, it’s clear that guests appreciate having a comfortable base in the real heart of London without paying West End upscale prices. You’re not just staying near the action — you’re right in the middle of it, and that makes all the difference when you want to truly experience the city.

Central London hotels keep guests steps from Covent Garden theaters, Soho jazz bars, and Bloomsbury museums.
