to get started.

We only slept there but we had a superior room. It had a fridge, comfortable beds, and a high end hairdryer. And a French press for coffee. I travel a lot and recommend it highly. One block from South Kensington tube

Great staff, spotlessly clean, best location and a little quirky!

Wendy

Everything - Room is very beautiful. It is facing the nice traditional bldg opposite the hotel. This is especially nice on the sunny day when you opened curtain and welcomed by sun streaks and beautiful view. - Location: it is so close to South Ken subway station. although it is not in the heart of sightseeing, with that station on the Green Line everything is very accessible. It’s close to main museums and concert hall though. It is peaceful in the sense that it’s local residential area with some mixture of tourists, so it can be bustling and lively in the good way too. Many nice restaurants and cafes around the hotel too. Most open since the morning. - Staff : very professional and helpful. There is a thai lady staff at the reception who recommended me a good thai restaurant not far from hotel, and gave me the beautiful room. I didn’t have chance to thank you her upon checkout on the restaurant recommendation which I went back twice.

The hotel was in the best location and provided a fabulous experience. I was upgraded to a massive room, and it made my stay memorable!

Danielle

United States of America

Located in the vibrant neighborhood of South Kensington, this charming little hotel provides a low-key luxury experience at a moderate price. The vibe is pure London with a light Mediterranean touch and a bit of upscale artsy atmosphere.

Stuart

United States of America

Everything is lovely. The staff does an excellent job EVERY day- that is the only way they could run this smoothly. The hotel is comfortable and clean and all the extra touches like the robes and duckies is the bathroom make you feel especially welcome and comfortable. Breakfast was also delicious.

Carol

Loved the hotel itself, the location and the staff. Finally, a hotel that doesn’t charge you for waters or soft drinks supplied in their mini bars. The robes and slippers are wonderful! I love the supplied phones for day use that they offer as we’ll. Absolutely a 10 on our hotel stay!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nil - will be staying there again when we can get good offers!!
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.
