The Fielding Hotel
The prime location, just steps from Covent Garden’s food and shopping, is what makes it easy to overlook the cramped, lift-less quarters at this family-owned hotel. In this early-19th-century warren of tight staircases and fire doors, the sometimes slightly airless rooms snuggle you with a certain throwaway charisma. Rooms no. 10, 20, and 30 are doubles with sitting areas that catch lots of afternoon light, thanks to their corner position and copious windows. Everything’s en suite (mostly shower only, but three have tubs), and there are no common areas to speak of. Overall, the Fielding is a pleasant surprise and if you don’t demand tons of space, a certified value.
