Our room 305, a deluxe was large and spacious and the bed so comfortable. The bathroom was extra large with a fabulous shower. We only had the continental breakfast which I thought when I booked it, it was free, however this seemed to be my mistake.

This was our second time at the Ampersand and again everything matched and exceeded our expectations. We were provided with a room away from the lift in a quiet corridor and it was a haven from the hustle of London. So close to South Kensington Underground and buses - everything at your fingertips for exploring London. Breakfasts were wonderful - good choices, we were not rushed and the coffee was excellent.

It’s location — right in the heart of South Kensington and literally next to the underground station.

Pretty much everything - the staff were a delight and the hotel is very beautiful. I enjoyed the food and it was readily available day and night and exquisitely presented. The long tiled bathroom was stunning and I was exceptionally well looked after during my four day stay. Thank you to the hotel staff for making my trip to London so very enjoyable.

Stay in the heart of London –

One of our top picks in London – and a guest favourite.
With its own Mediterranean restaurant and just a minute’s walk from South Kensington Underground Station, The Ampersand is a cosmopolitan hotel set in a large Victorian building. The hotel also has a gym and games room.

The pillared foyer has a grand staircase lit by an elegant cascading chandelier. The downstairs bar area gives a sophisticated urban feel with its exposed brick arches, and a patisserie menu is available in the hotel’s drawing rooms.

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.

Kensington and Chelsea is a great choice for travellers interested in architecture, monuments and atmosphere.

This is our guests' favourite part of London, according to independent reviews.

The pillows were too hard and we could not sleep well. Also, the breakfast was very good but there were limitations in what was in the buffet and you had to pick and choose with the extras. As we are a family of 4, unfortunately we had to pay for two rooms, which is a nuisance. Unfortunately there are very few choices for reasonably priced large rooms in London.
