location was excellent, walk to harrods and museums & also South Kensington tube station was at the end of the street.
United KingdomReally great location. The entrance was beautifully decorated and it felt special arriving. The hotel is clean and staff are welcoming without being 'too much', allowing us to leave our luggage the day of check out.
United KingdomLocation was exceptional...very close to South Kensington tube stop on the Picadilly, Circle and District Li
KuwaitThis was such a lovely hotel to stay in. Perfect location and very comfortable bedding. such a treat. Friendly staff and I will definitely book again.
AustraliaVery polite gentleman on reception, when I booked in an asset to the business( Niels, I think ) That polite and positive manner would be enough to make me return regardless of the facilities , which were excellent .
United KingdomI’ve stayed in hotels all over London but the Amersand was absolutely fantastic from the moment I arrived the check in staff were fantastic (they upgraded me to a superior room without asking) and the check in was seamless. The room was absolutely stunning and the little touches in there like the beautiful toiletries makes all the difference. The area is fantastic too…I ate in the Indian & Chinese opposite and both were good.
