The breakfast was actually very nice, see our picture. The luxury neighborhood is very pretty and very quiet and charming close to the tube.

The location was fantastic!! The bed was also very comfortable and the room was very large.

Chelsea

United States of America

We were given a very elegant and beautiful room. It was also quite big, unlike your typical European room. The bed was amazingly comfortable. The heat inside the room as well as the water pressure and temperature were perfect. The room was thoroughly cleaned every day. Of particular note was that we bought a few expensive articles while in London and left them in the room. NOTHING ever went missing, unlike other hotels. The staff was very responsive to your needs. Finally, the location in Kensington was excellent.

Denise

United States of America

The hotel was excellently located on a quiet street in South Kensington, very close to the Gloucester Road tube stop. Close to restaurants, museums, etc. Its size and decoration contributed to its charm.

I saw a few reviews that stated the hotel was dirty and old and yes I saw a few places where that could apply but I felt that the bed was clean and changed and the room was vacuumed every day I stayed. I felt that the staff were very helpful and eager to please!

Breakfast selection, or lack of it, very disappointing and set-up for serving not ideal. Staff too busy and muti-tasking at times. Carpets in common areas dirty and loose fitting which are a hazard.
Ideal location for access to the underground and bus services. Local shops and lots of places to eat. Big GF bedroom with very comfy 4 poster bed.

So much!! We had a superior room which was extremely small...hot water tap in sink did not work, TV had to be pulled from a closet, no space for suitcases, and very very worn out. Breakfast was very simple but ok. Asked for wake up call and did not happen.
Location was great. Generally room was clean, but needs a lot of renos. Room 203 should not be 'superior'!! Very quiet area.

Room on the third a little inaccessible and no tea and coffee making facilities. They will deliver a complementary tray to your room but not the same as being able to make your own during the early hours.
Beautifully decorated with antiques and artwork. Staff are very friendly. Lots of upscale eating places within a short distance.

Our room could really have done with some minor maintenance in a number of areas. Very disappointed/suspicious that it took a phone call to the hotel 4 weeks after checkout before our £50 preapproval/incidentals holding sum was coincidently released..
The location of the Cranley is a real strength. Great area, good pub close by and handy to the underground. The day staff were helpful albeit overwhelmed and unexpectedly understaffed at breakfast time (my guess a staff member away). It really was a Fawlty Towers moment. A good base at a reasonable price.
