Overview

First Impressions

Welcome London Soho sits on Lexington Street like it’s been waiting for you to discover it — and honestly, that’s exactly how it feels when you walk through the doors. This four-star boutique spot manages to capture that perfect Soho energy without the chaos, which is no small feat in this part of London. The lobby has this understated sophistication that immediately tells you the owners actually get what travelers want.

Location & Neighborhood

You’re literally in the heart of Soho here, but on a quieter street that locals know about. Lexington Street gives you that authentic London feel — you know, the kind where you’ll stumble upon a tiny gallery or a coffee shop that’s been here for decades. Oxford Street’s shopping madness is a two-minute walk if that’s your thing, but you can also easily slip into the more intimate corners of Soho where the real character lives. I mean, you’re practically neighbors with some of London’s best independent theaters and those hidden pubs that guidebooks somehow miss.

The Room Experience

The rooms here are what I’d call “thoughtfully compact” — they’ve clearly put serious consideration into making every square foot work for you. Each room feels like someone’s stylish London flat rather than a generic hotel space, with clever storage solutions that actually make sense. The beds are properly comfortable (not just hotel-marketing comfortable), and the bathrooms manage to feel spacious despite the urban constraints. What really impressed me was the attention to lighting — they’ve got it figured out so you can actually read in bed or get ready without squinting.

Amenities & Atmosphere

There’s no flashy spa or rooftop pool here, but that’s not really the point of this place. Instead, you get a genuinely helpful front desk team who know the neighborhood inside and out, and common areas that feel more like a friend’s well-designed living room than a hotel lobby. The whole vibe leans into that “local Londoner” feeling rather than trying to impress you with unnecessary extras. They’ve nailed the balance between professional service and that relaxed Soho attitude.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back to Welcome London Soho is how it feels like discovering a secret — even though it’s right in the middle of everything. You’re getting authentic Soho living without sacrificing comfort or service, and the location means you can explore London’s creative heart on foot. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next visit before you’ve even checked out, because it genuinely feels like your own little corner of London rather than just another place to sleep.

"Great location, clean and tidy apartment."
Location was excellent. Clean and tidy flat with all the equipment needed.
What could be improved: No major issues but no 'welcome' tea, milk, etc. - just capsule coffee, and having a shower was very tricky if you wanted to avoid flooding the 'uncomfortable under foot' floor boards.

"Superb location and excellent value apartment. Could do with updating the shower unit."
Superb location in Soho and excellent value. Super comfy bed and living room area.
What could be improved: Only issue is the shower, which is loosely attached to a free standing bath, with the plastic pull-round shower curtain. The water temperature is hard to control as it is not a mixer tap. And it is hard to completely close over the curtain rail to prevent any leakage onto the old antique floor. The bathroom is more than big enough to accommodate an additional free standing shower unit. In addition, overall the decor makes the flat feel a little dull and dark.

Me me my fiancé traveled to London for the first time and just so glad we went with Welcome SoHo Apartments. The place is designed beautifully and the location I believe could nit get any better, right in the heart of SoHo . Literally walking distance to all tourist places . Knot between 15-20 minutes walk to everything. 8-10 minutes walk to the train station , many shops and restaurants around. We had a flight very early morning to leave London and I left my phone in the apartment and realized it when I was almost near the airport. Raya was incredible. I asked her to ship my online to Spain which was our next destination. She immediately shipped my phone. I came thank her enough for saving the phone I just paid $1200 for without Apple care. Spain didn’t clear my phone and DHL was constantly in contact with her and she took care of all it. Thank you so much for the great experience and for saving my phone . I will defiantly come back .
