Lock in a great price for The Ampersand Hotel - rated 9.1 by recent guests.

to get started.

The attention to detail paid to the furnishing, decorations and accessories. The lovely drawing room. The location is excellent.

A very nice atmosphere, great location and very friendly staff. As we ve stayed twice in a week the second time they made us a complimentary upgrade which was thoughtful and nice. Very nice breakfast, nice lobby, cute rubber ducks in each room :)

Bedrooms at The Ampersand are individually decorated with bold contemporary wallpaper designs and original Victorian features. Each room has a minibar, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and an en suite bathroom.

As well as the hotel’s well-equipped gym, guests will have access to information regarding horse riding, private trainers and running routes.

Within 2 minutes’ walk of the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, Harrods and Hyde Park are just 15 minutes away by foot.

눇The hotel is beautifully appointed and the staff are very helpful and friendly. It has a relaxed feel but all the extras are greatly appreciated eg free refreshments in the rooms, large bathrooms with lovely toiletries provided. The bed is very comfortable and the quality of linen excellent. The location is great - close to museums, shops and transport.

“Doggy holiday in London”
- • With a pet
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted via mobile
눉My only complaint would be that dogs are welcome in the rooms and tea room but not in the restaurant. It would be nice if the hotel was pet friendly across the board rather than only in some areas. Other pet friendly hotels in London such as the Milestone do this so it would be wonderful if well behaved dogs who are hotel guests are welcome everywhere :)
눇Beautiful rooms, lovely doggy bed and bowls for my little Maltese. Reception staff very helpful and welcoming. Also an unbeatable location next to South Kensington tube.
