Scene
Classy and contemporary boutique
White orchids are seen throughout The Hide London, a boutique decorated in shades of champagne, chocolate, and cream. The hotel has a feel of class and sophistication, from the cozy lobby with its small bar and coffee service to the striking rooms. Though The Hide doesn't have much in the way of features, thoughtful extras include free breakfast and free minibars (stocked with snacks and drinks).
Location
A smart stop for motorists, a long shot for tourists
Situated right on the A41, just off the M1 motorway, The Hide London is an ideal location for people visiting the city by car who want to see London for a day or two. With Hendon Central Station just around the corner, access to Central London via the Northern Line is a mere 30 minutes away. Tourists arriving from major airports or train stations may find The Hide London difficult to reach and the surroundings a little difficult to enjoy. The immediate area of Hendon is quite dull, with the odd pub and restaurant here and there, but those looking to experience London and all its sights and sounds may want to look for something a little more central.
Rooms
Bright and stylish, with modern decor and thoughtful extras
Rooms at The Hide have sophisticated decor in shades of cream, gold, and brown. All rooms are small, but all have modern technology (including iPod docks) as well as plenty of thoughtful extras: free refreshments (tea, soft drinks, and chocolates), ample electrical outlets, reading lights by the headboard, and coat hangers on the wall. Bathrooms have plenty of soft towels, walk-in rain showers, and high-end toiletries by L'Occitane en Provence.
Features
Free beverages and free (but sometimes slow) Wi-Fi
The most impressive feature of The Hide London is the 24 hour cafe, which allows guests to enjoy artisan coffees, teas, water, and soft drinks at no additional cost. Free parking is another perk, which is very uncommon to find at most London hotels (though note that spaces can be limited). Wi-Fi is free but is not the fastest, although this will vary depending on volume of guests and the time of day. Lastly, a free, quality continental breakfast is offered in the mornings.
