Bar and dining areas, the garden and the room + staff welcoming and pleasant

The hotel was beautiful and the rooms were extremely comfortable. The staff throughout our stay were very friendly and helpful. There's not much of a lobby area to spend time in but there's a very cute little bar with excellent cocktails! The location is also great - it's tucked away on a side street so that it's quiet and peaceful, but its within easy walking distance (5-10 min) of central areas, tube stations and main streets. I would love to stay here again at any time!

I like the location. And the staff welcoming. Also I like the smart technique in the room. I like room view.

Air conditioning when it was 90 in London, and being being able to shower at noon in the down stairs gym before we could check in at 3pm to cool off from the heat, and being able to leave behind our luggage so we could explore the neighborhood before the checkin, and getting a from room upgrade overlooking a beautiful park below!

Nice boutique hotel. Wonderful staff - very friendly and helpful.

One of our top picks in London
The Franklin captures that rarest of qualities: serenity. Its secluded English gardens are the perfect counterpoint to bustling Knightsbridge. The hotel combines the warmth of a private home, the impeccable service of a Grand Hotel and Anouska Hempel’s timeless, Italian-influenced design. A spectacular hammam and garden-fronting restaurant and champagne bar need exploring. However, it is The Franklin’s tailored experiences, which are as individual as its guests, that make it so much more than just another luxury hotel.
