I stayed for 8 nights and was absolutely thrilled with the experience—everything exceeded my expectations. Yes, the price is a bit on the higher side, but when you consider the location, quality of amenities, and overall comfort, it's still worth every penny. I personally don’t need daily housekeeping, so having just one cleaning visit during my stay was perfect—no disruption, total privacy. The hotel is located in a quiet, safe, and beautifully maintained part of Islington, close to great dining options, shops, and public transport. The room itself was spacious, stylishly designed, and had a surprisingly large bathroom. What really stood out was the fully equipped kitchenette with a dishwasher and microwave—perfect for preparing meals and saving money on dining out. The lobby has a modern, elegant vibe that adds to the welcoming atmosphere. I felt completely at ease throughout my stay. I’d definitely book again next time I’m in London and would highly recommend this place to friends and fellow travelers.
Staying at Citadines South Kensington London was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just a 6-minute walk from the nearest tube station, with direct access from the airport via subway, making travel both convenient and stress-free. There are several supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, so grabbing essentials or snacks is never an issue. The room itself was just the right size—spacious enough for comfort without feeling empty, and the fully equipped kitchenette was a major plus for preparing meals on-site. It’s perfect for travelers who want flexibility and a home-like feel. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel offers excellent value, great accessibility, and a comfortable stay. Highly recommended.
The apartment was surprisingly spacious and very comfortable, with a great layout that made the most of the space. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better—just a short walk from the subway station, making travel around London super convenient. I was able to reach SoHo, the British Museum, and other key attractions on foot without any hassle. Public transport options nearby are also excellent, giving you flexibility whether you’re exploring central London or heading out to other areas. The neighborhood is packed with dining choices—great for everything from casual bites to more upscale meals. Booking through the platform was smooth and straightforward. Overall, this place offers fantastic value and an unbeatable location. I’d definitely stay here again.
Staying at Citadines Barbican London was a fantastic experience! The room was spacious and immaculately clean—perfect for both short getaways and longer stays. I especially loved having a French press and coffee pods on hand; brewing my own morning coffee in the comfort of the room made the trip feel more like home. While amenities like toiletries need to be requested at the front desk, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—no hesitation in assisting with anything. The best part? The hotel is literally steps away from a metro station with direct access to the Elizabeth line, making travel to the airport or around London super convenient. With such great value, excellent location, and warm service, this place truly stands out. Definitely coming back!
Staying at Hotel 41 felt like stepping into a well-kept secret from a bygone era. In an age where many hotels seem to have given up on quality service, it’s genuinely refreshing to find one that still upholds high standards with such dedication. I visited during the quiet March season—my first time experiencing this historic gem from the Red Carnation group. Hotel 41 and its neighboring property, Rubens, are part of the same family, and both are warmly greeted by the same elderly doorman who adds a personal touch right from arrival. From the moment you step inside, the attention to detail is palpable. Our Korean housekeeper was incredibly sweet and enthusiastic—her warmth made the stay feel more like visiting friends than checking into a hotel. As a boutique property, the entire hotel spans just one floor, with the public area doubling as the lobby and lounge bar—an elegant blend of old-world charm and timeless style. Welcome champagne, non-stop snacks throughout the day (candy, ice cream, hot and cold bites), afternoon tea, and late-night nibbles make the experience even more luxurious. The signature treat? Chocolate shortbread—simple but unforgettable. That said, standard rooms are quite small; fitting two adults and two large suitcases left little room to move around. Bathrooms feel dated in design and fixtures, though they’re clean and functional. One delightful touch: the nightly turndown includes a cozy hot water bottle tucked under the sheets—a small gesture that truly warms the soul. You can ask almost anything of your housekeeper—they’ll help with luggage packing, local tips, or even last-minute requests. The location is unbeatable: directly opposite Buckingham Palace stables. Walking to the palace, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey felt effortless—more like a leisurely stroll than a tourist rush. For a unique, intimate, and deeply personal stay in central London, Hotel 41 delivers exceptional value and genuine hospitality.
I stayed in a single room which was compact but perfectly functional with all the essentials. The breakfast was exceptional—plenty of options, fresh ingredients, and high quality across the board. I especially appreciated the little touches in the lobby: lemon tea, apples, and Walkers crisps available for guests to enjoy anytime. It's these thoughtful details that make a big difference. Overall, the experience was excellent, and I'd definitely book again. Highly recommend staying here if you're in London.
Staying in a lower-floor room was surprisingly quiet—no noise at all despite the city location. The room size is just right, not too cramped and very clean throughout. I especially appreciated having a small kitchenette and dining area, which made it easy to prepare simple meals during my stay. The staff were warm and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions. This place offers great value and comfort, and if I ever return to London, I’d definitely book here again. A fantastic choice for travelers who want a home-like atmosphere with excellent service.
Staying at Cheval Harrington Court at South Kensington was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The room was spotless, modern, and beautifully appointed with high-quality amenities—including a full set of OSEA products in the bathroom, which made every moment feel luxurious. Daily housekeeping service was thoughtful and kept everything fresh and tidy. There’s a front desk available for luggage storage, and the elevator works smoothly—access requires a key card, which adds a nice touch of security. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just a 3-minute walk to South Kensington Underground station, and both the Natural History Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum are within walking distance. Public transport access is seamless, and exploring central London became so easy. One small note: when checking out, we were asked if we’d like to pay a service fee, but this wasn’t mentioned during booking or on arrival. We weren’t sure whether to tip per day or based on meal services, which made the moment a bit awkward. Still, that minor hiccup didn’t take away from how impressed we were with the overall quality, comfort, and convenience. This place offers excellent value and would absolutely be my top pick for future stays in London.
The stay at The Dilly was absolutely perfect—10/10 in every way. I booked through a platform, and honestly, the experience was worth every penny. From the moment we walked into the room, the beautiful décor and thoughtful touches made us feel welcome. The ambiance is elegant yet warm, the location is unbeatable—right in the heart of London with everything nearby. The vibe is just right—quiet enough to relax but still close to all the action. Every detail felt intentional and well-crafted. I’d book again in a heartbeat. This place truly delivers on its promise and then some.
The location is absolutely fantastic—situated in a sophisticated, quiet neighborhood with plenty of great restaurants and shops just steps away. The apartments are spacious, well-appointed, and incredibly peaceful, making it a perfect retreat after a long day exploring London. The staff goes above and beyond with their attentive, efficient, and genuinely friendly service. Every detail feels thoughtfully considered, from the modern amenities to the clean, stylish interiors. It’s rare to find such a high level of comfort and hospitality in a city as busy as London. This place truly delivers on every front—highly recommend for anyone looking for a refined, relaxing stay.
Grosvenor House Suites truly feels like a hidden gem. From the moment we stepped off the airport transfer, the concierge team welcomed us with open arms—warm drinks and cookies waiting in the second-floor lobby made it feel like coming home. Our entire family, including our 22-month-old son, was treated with such care. Marco brought out a whole box of toys just for him—such a thoughtful touch. Christian then gave us a personal room tour, explained every amenity in detail, and made sure we felt completely at ease. As soon as we entered our suite, we were greeted with a beautifully arranged dining table: a bottle of wine, fresh fruit basket, a platter of local nuts, and exclusive UK teas and cookies. The housekeeping team went above and beyond—twice daily cleanings, morning tidy-ups, evening slippers and water bottles placed on the nightstand, even washing our dishes left in the sink! It was more than service—it felt like being spoiled. We didn’t want to leave the hotel, it was that cozy and comforting. Special thanks to Marco, Robert, Carolina, Christian, Yannick, Antonio, and Lubna for your genuine warmth and meaningful conversations. And heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Henning for making our son’s first international trip unforgettable. Grosvenor House Suites has redefined hospitality. We’re already planning our return.
