Ormonde House  

Excellent staff. Friendly and conscientious. Breakfast was lovely. The building is extraordinary, with chandeliers, rugs, marble features, wood panelling, a splendid 1930s lift (complete with fold down seat), and an extraordinary Victorian era dumb waiter that rises from the dining room floor. It all brought a great big smile to my face. Delightfully eccentric really and despite my negative comments, I would happily return.

The bedroom I stayed in, on the 4th floor, was dreadfully outdated. Real 1970s decor, including polystyrene ceiling tiles (hadn't seen them for a while). The paintwork and much of the woodwork is very tatty and in dire need of stripping out and re-installing. Real shame, because the hotel is charming otherwise. I didn't see any other rooms, so it may just be an anomaly. Sadly, given the jaded condition of the bedroom, I felt the rate I paid (£140 for a double room late June '10) was not great value for money.

It was very convenient for Sloane Square station and there was a feeling of safety. The bathroom was clean. Staff were very attentive. It was an "interesting" stay and there was plenty to giggle about so sense of humour is required. It was memorable because of some of the origional features such as the beatiful lift and interesting dining room fixtures. The main areas were very traditional and in -keeping with the origional 20's theme

The bedrooms were not the standard i had expected at the price we were paying. At Breakfast on the first morning, we were not offered anything other than toast from the plastic packet. The second morning we were offered eggs as an after-thought but not asked how we wanted them cooking but when they arrived they were welcome and nicely cooked. The couple next to us were offered bacon which we hadnt been offered to us. In the bedroom, the front of the drawer fell off in my hand when i tried to open it, and my window was propped up with a matchbox. The plastic cover ontop of the dressing table did not fit, and one of the lampshades had a whole burned through from the heat of the lamp, with the tv ariel draped over the top so i was concerned about safety in that respect. I believe that an investment is required, and if carried out, i would reccommend the hotel due to the location and attentiveness of some of the staff (other staff were too attentive to the point of intrusive).

Old school, guest is king. It was easy to imagine the hotel in use in the Georgian times. Reception and breakfast area probably haven't changed that much

Bed Clothes, Bed and room were a little tired.

Thank you to Mr Alan and everyone at the hotel. My husband and I had a lovely stay (Dec 11-15, 2011) and felt like being part of some scene of Victorian period with personalized and very kind treat. Perfect location, decor and service. We'd recommend to stay with Ormonde House to everyone who is looking for stay close to all London attractions (and at the same time in glamourous and calm district) and those who are looking for romantic decoration. Thank you very much, indeed.

the great location and good price and quiet

the room had not been redone since the 60's , and not very well cleaned

Warm atmosfere at entrance friendly family time at breakfast nice old furniture at ground flour

Bad smeling room unpleasent bath room (small, with low cost amneties, old, improvisated, without any minimum confort) wi fi working from time to time

Our room smelled of rot, hence I would not stay there again. we are a couple and wanted a double bed, not 2 singles pushed together what I liked? the location and the reception area

Our room was a delightful surprise. A major and unexpected upgrade to a huge bedroom and bathroom. The location also exceeded our expectations. We are looking forward to our next stay at the end of this month.

It is in a beautiful neighbourhood

It is not a hotel, it is a particular antique house, it is like a bed and breakfast.

Very helpful staff, good room furnishings, good internet provision (wireless and wired). Got a room upgrade which was excellent value.

Traffic noise, I had the window open as the room was too warm.

Housekeeper Kindly

Host Nasty

Very "quaint" hotel, colourful and antique furniture. Service was very personal, friendly and immediate!

Could do with a little more maintenance!
