Convenience is the key to Mimi’s success: a central Soho hotel that’s both affordable, chic and right in the thick of things.

Set on the corner of Frith and Bateman Streets, the entrance on the former leads to the hotel’s lively bar, Henson’s, popular with locals and visitors alike (and where guests take their modest breakfast), while the Bateman Street entrance leads to reception.

Rooms are on the small side, but all have good bathrooms, and cosy velvety boudoir-style furnishings.

With underfloor heating and high-tech soundproofing, the hustle and bustle of Soho is left outside the door, making this the perfect base if you want to make the most of London’s nightlife, while still getting some sleep.

Surrounding area

Right on the corner of Frith and Bateman streets, Mimi’s is in the heart of Soho – a lattice of streets lined with Victorian buildings that house restaurants, bars and apartments above.

Soho is always busy, often till the early hours of the morning, and has a surprisingly village-y feel, in spite of its location at the heart of the West End.

The shops of Oxford Street and Bond Street are within dashing distance, while the West End theatres are pretty much on the doorstep.

Please note - we hope to one day have live prices for you, but for now, here are some useful links for you to compare prices...
