Great location , value and staff- thank you Aranit for your lovely welcome

Mike, United Kingdom

The room was quiet at night. If the central air & elevator worked it would have been ok. The hotel is on a very busy main road. It's quite noisy during the day but quiet at night..

Patti, United States of America

The staff was very professional & gave great suggestions on places to eat & visit. The airline lost my bag & the staff also assisted me in getting it back once the airport dropped it off at the front desk. It was also located adjacent to a Nando’s which is my favorite restaurant!

Chelsea, United States of America

Great location and staff, very nice breakfast area and food, tight quarters in the room but workable if you’re not spending much time in the room. Two affordable, very good restaurants nearby we ate at, Melabes (middle eastern food) half a block away and an Italian spot a couple of blocks away.

Ellen, United States of America

Very well located, lovely centered street, lots of cafe’s and ships around, close to tube station

Normal, Israel

Staff Sahara and Aranit very affable and extremely helpful. Location handy to Olympia rail and Kensington High St tube. Facility was modern and up to date. For foreign travellers it took a short while to find the power switch outside the bathroom for the heated towel bar and that the power outlet in the bathroom required that the bathroom light must be on (for charging an IPad overnight).

Robert, Canada

One room we had you could hear water running through pipes. Suite was small but the regular room large. The manager berating the staff in front of the guest.

Andy, Switzerland

The location is good for exploring London. Just a short tube ride. Friendly staff!

Tim, Germany

Great location and it was very well kept and clean (except for our coffee cups. It seems like they would only rinse them so I wasn’t sure if we were supposed to rinse them for the cleaning staff to make it easier for them? The picture I posted was better, the day before they were even worse ) but other than the cups, it was good.

Claudia, United States of America

The hotel met all the basic expectation. Great location. Staff (James) was very helpful. Drove from North Wales. Onsite parking was an issue but got one nearby.

The Seraphine boasts a 4 star hotel rating on its booking.com ad however this turned out to be a 4 star guest accommodation rating which was misrepresented on the site (and by the price). The room was unclean (mold on the walls and dusty carpets), staff were unhelpful (wouldn’t google directions to the airport when asked and simply replied they did not know), there were no toiletries provided (such as shampoo) and there was no room service provided (I asked whether I could be provided water to my room to which I was told I’d have to come get it and there would be an additional charge) Overall a very disappointing stay and I would not recommend to anyone.
Location was good

I have no negative views at all.
From the time we arrived until we left the staff at the hotel were brilliant and couldn’t do enough to help especially Aranit. We had a triple room for myself and 2 friends and it was plenty big, bathroom was very clean and the beds were very comfy. Breakfast was continental and plenty of it, if you left hungry it was your own fault. One of my friends were coeliac and this was no problem there was plenty for breakfast for her to eat as well. Location was great and if returning to London I certainly would book this hotel again.

Beds weren't very comfortable. Rooms a little jaded, worn carpets, blinds that didn't work and some cosmetic damage/wear & tear. Most rooms have very small windows so you don't get much daylight. Would be nice to have the option of a cooked breakfast,
Location very close to tube so no problems getting to any area in London. Plenty of places to eat in the immediate area and walking distance to Hyde Park. Staff really friendly and helpful and area quiet. Breakfast buffet (continental) was well stocked and filling.
