The room was very comfortable and the underfloor heating in the bathroom was a treat. All of the staff were warm, friendly and eager to please. Location was brilliant for museums. Restaurants and shops are easily walkable. Will return.
United States of AmericaI love this hotel. It's beautiful, clean and the staff is always amazing. They take such good care of you. I was originally put into a very dark room and they immediately changed it when I asked.
United States of AmericaThe staff were lovely Very attentive. The room was nice. The bed and bedding are nice too and Fabulous
United KingdomLocation is the best for easy tube access Small cozy on site dining, comfortable for a solo traveler although a bit pricey Access to museums and neighborhood shops
United States of AmericaGreat location. Very close to South Kensington Station. Friendly staff. Comfortable room with nice amenities. Clean and updated. Loved the heated floor and mirror in the bathroom.
United States of AmericaStaffs are friendly and the room was exceptionally clean.
ThailandLoved the staff, accommodations and the location. The bathroom was huge and fantastic shower!
United States of AmericaThe location is amazing. Just 2 minutes away from underground. Hotel was pretty new. Furnitures and decoration was very modern. Bed was comfortable and the room was very clean (I am very careful about it). Staff very nice and polite. They upgraded us and it was a very nice gesture. Even though we were upgraded, the room we stayed was not big also the bathrom but it really did not bother us. The price of the hotel is not cheap but considering the location and amenity of the hotel, I believe it is not easy to find a better one in London.
Netherlandsstaff was lovely and accommodating. all areas of the hotel were comfortable and service was excellent, from quickly delivering extra waters to serving a welcoming cup of tea after a chilly, wet day at the markets. We will stay again on our next visit!
United States of AmericaLocation. I mean the hotel is great, but the location is priceless.

One of our top picks in London. 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 mini-bar, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and an private bathroom.
As well as the hotel’s well-equipped gym, guests will have access to information regarding horse riding, private trainers and running routes.
