The Cadogan, A Belmond Hotel, London
Staying at The Cadogan, A Belmond Hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. Every moment felt thoughtfully curated—warm, personal service that made me feel truly welcome. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond with genuine attentiveness. They remembered little preferences, anticipated needs, and made sure every detail contributed to a cozy, home-like atmosphere. The room was elegant and serene, with plush bedding and subtle touches that screamed luxury without pretense. Located in a quiet yet central part of London, it’s just steps away from great transport links and nearby attractions. It’s not just a hotel—it feels like a sanctuary. I left feeling refreshed, pampered, and already planning my return. This is the kind of stay that stays with you long after check-out.
Como the Halkin
Staying at Como the Halkin was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from Knightsbridge’s shopping districts and nearby parks, with excellent access to public transit. The neighborhood is peaceful, and the rooms are beautifully appointed with modern amenities, offering complete quietness despite being in central London. What truly stood out was the incredible value—comparable luxury hotels in the area charge far more per night, making this a real steal. The staff were exceptional, especially the duty manager, Ginni, who went above and beyond with her warm, patient, and detailed explanations about the hotel and room features. It felt less like staying in a hotel and more like being welcomed into a second home. I left feeling refreshed, well taken care of, and already planning my next visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking comfort, convenience, and genuine hospitality in London.
The Goring
I’ve always loved this hotel for afternoon tea and drinks, but as a Londoner, I’d never actually had the chance to stay before—until now. My birthday visit to The Goring in the heart of Victoria was nothing short of perfect. From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional—the staff were professional yet warm, attentive without being intrusive, and always ready with helpful tips. My room was upgraded, beautifully appointed, and came with a delightful surprise: champagne and fresh fruit waiting for me. Breakfast was outstanding, and the bar team, as always, was attentive and knowledgeable. The only regret? Never managing to snag a table in the stunning garden—though that just means I’ll have to come back! The Goring remains my absolute favourite hotel in London, and I can’t wait to return.
Egerton House
Staying at Egerton House was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the Victoria and Albert Museum, with easy access to public transit for exploring the rest of London. The hotel itself feels like a quiet retreat in the heart of the city: elegant, clean, and thoughtfully designed. My room was spacious and cozy, with great lighting and comfortable bedding. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of local flavors. But what truly made the experience special was the staff. The front desk team were incredibly warm and attentive—always smiling, always ready to help, and genuinely interested in making your stay memorable. They even gave me some great tips on hidden gems nearby. I’ve stayed at many hotels in London, but this one stands out for its charm, hospitality, and attention to detail. Definitely worth returning to.
Cheval Gloucester Park
Staying at Cheval Gloucester Park was an absolute delight—far beyond my expectations. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and beautifully maintained. The kitchen came fully equipped with high-end Miele appliances, making self-catering a breeze. What really stood out was the location: just steps away from a large supermarket and a convenient subway station, which made daily errands and exploring London incredibly easy. Later, I stayed at another property in the same chain—the Knightsbridge apartment—and was genuinely disappointed. The room felt outdated, with worn-out furnishings and minimal modern touches, aside from its central location. To make matters worse, I accidentally left behind a thermal mug upon check-out. When I contacted the platform for help, they claimed it wasn’t found, which was hard to believe given how organized the staff at Gloucester Park were. Overall, if you’re looking for a well-maintained, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed apartment hotel in London, Cheval Gloucester Park is hands down the better choice. Highly recommended!
Hotel 41
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.
Kennington B & B
Staying at Kennington B & B was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the Northern Line (black line) station, and you can reach central London on foot in just 15 minutes if you prefer to walk. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything you’d need for a relaxing stay. The bed was cozy, the bathroom spotless, and the breakfast was hearty and delicious. Kimberly, the hostess, went above and beyond—warm, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. She made us feel right at home. This place has such a personal touch, and it’s clear she takes pride in her guest experience. I’ll definitely recommend this gem to friends and will be back myself on my next trip to London.
Cheval Harrington Court at South Kensington
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 Apartments by the Sloane Club
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.
Henley House Hotel
Staying at Henley House Hotel was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from major attractions and well-connected by public transit. Every staff member went above and beyond with their warmth and hospitality, especially Roberta, who truly stood out with her attention to detail and genuine kindness. I loved the little touches like having cookies, flavored water, or iced tea always available at reception—such a thoughtful welcome. The rooms are compact but cozy and well-maintained, making them ideal for a comfortable stay. I even signed up for the loyalty program during my visit, which tells you how much I enjoyed it. My only note is that if you're sensitive to noise, you might notice some sound from neighboring rooms—though I suspect it could be due to the building’s layout rather than disruptive guests. Overall, this place is highly recommended and definitely a top pick for any future trip to London.
Gulaid House Knightsbridge by Bob W London
We stayed for four nights in this charming little apartment and couldn’t have been happier. Despite its compact size, it felt warm, modern, and incredibly well-maintained. The view from the window was lovely—just a quiet, picturesque street with a real sense of London charm. It’s walking distance to the tube station and just a few minutes from Harrods, making shopping and sightseeing super convenient. The direct access to Heathrow was a game-changer for our travel plans. Everything we needed was there, and the place exceeded all our expectations. We were 100% satisfied and truly appreciated the thoughtful touches from the team. Would absolutely recommend and return without hesitation.
Ashburn Court Apartments
Staying at Ashburn Court Apartments was an absolute delight. The apartment is spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay—perfect for a home-away-from-home experience. Located just steps from the underground station, getting around London is super convenient. The only thing to note is that a deposit is required upon check-in, but it’s fully refundable when you check out, so no worries there. Overall, this place offers excellent value and a great location—highly recommend!.
