Wendy, United States of America

The key ingredients to an enjoyable stay is, great location and luxurious rooms and this hotel had both! Perfectly modern (not too much, not too little) with friendly staff were part of their desirable qualities.

Giselle, United States of America

Location perfect for South Kensington underground. Suite room preferred as more spacious. Staff wonderful. English teas available in cozy lounge area

Wendy, United States of America

The bed was super comfy. The staff were all really friendly, but not too intrustive. Location was absolutely spot on, you are within walking distance of all the beautiful greenery of London and I'd reccommend the Science Afternoon Tea for a nice lunch with a twist! I will return.. when I'm a millionaire.

James, United Kingdom

*The interior decorations & details *The complementary mini bar *The location is superb *The tearoom in the hotel lobby was so nice

Alanood, United Arab Emirates

The location was great, I enjoyed even walking from and to the underground station. Very easy to locate and many museums are within a walking distance. The staff were also very friendly, and the room was very clean and comfortable. I did not expect that they would let me check in at 10:00 in the morning but they kindly did. Such a relief after a 13-hour flight from Asia!

Hiroyuki, Japan

Within walking distance to many of the London Museums. Ten minute walk to the Royal Albert Hall. Many very nice restaurants and cafes on the block.

Steps from the tube and steps from so many great restaurants.

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.

For the price, breakfast should’ve been included. Would’ve been really lovely if there was a sauna or at least bath tubs in some rooms.
Location close to South Kensington station was great, some good bites nearby, bus stations also close, heated bathroom floors and the awesome rain shower head were great. Very comfortable bed and beautiful hotel. If you want afternoon tea, their restaurant has one of the top rated ones.

The bar was too small but the bartender was very knowledgeable and entertaining with his ice tricks. The parking is a block away so don't come with a car!
