Amazing stay as usual. It was during Covid and the staff went above and beyond. Excellent dinner in the restaurant as well! Always a pleasure to stay here, its a top pick
United KingdomFriendly helpful staff, lovely building and room. We did not use the restaurant but have previously visited for the Science afternoon tea, which was amazing. Thoroughly recommend both restaurant and hotel now that we've tried both.
United KingdomNice and clean, modern rooms. We was celebrating our anniversary and my partners birthday. The hotel staff made all the nice little touches to make it a special stay.
United KingdomExcellent location very near the tube station and local tourist sites, such as the Museums. The hotel itself was immaculate throughout, with a heated floor in the bathroom and a brilliant walk-in shower! This was during the Coronavirus Pandemic so all the extra touches they had made to keep us safe where appreciated.
United KingdomRoom, staff and location. One of my favourite hotels in Kensington
United KingdomSpotlessly clean rooms. Bigger than average for London. Bathroom was wonderful. Big bath. Heated floors. Wonderful location Smiling friendly staff who seem very genuine at the reception desk. Lovely toileteries in the rooms and rubber ducks for children. Complimetary soft drinks in the mini fridge Childrens television channels Apero restaurant - the food was delicious. The sharing menu is good value for money and every course is delicious and good portion sizes. The childrens food in the restaurant is very good. Overall a really great place to stay in London!
United KingdomThe hotel was exceptionally welcoming with great COVID measures in place My children loved the science afternoon tea
United KingdomExceptionally clean, welcoming staff, stylish room with comfy bed, each check in and out. Good value for money considering location.
United KingdomAbsolutely amazing, let alone for the price. Room worth atleast £600+ in that area for £100 odd. Staff were amazing and gave us complimentary wine. Breakfast was amazing. Would never stay anywhere else. I’ve stayed in all ranges of 5 star hotels, but The Ampersand remains my favourite.
United KingdomThe staff are so friendly and welcoming, not snobby at all
