InterContinental London Park Lane, by IHG

The staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service, making us feel truly welcome. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and well-presented. That said, the rooms are on the smaller side for a luxury hotel of this calibre. Some of the amenities, like power outlets and charging stations, felt a bit outdated in design and placement. Still, these minor drawbacks don’t overshadow the overall excellence of the stay. The ambiance, cleanliness, and attention to detail make it a standout choice for travelers seeking comfort and convenience in central London.

Hotel Indigo London Kensington
Staying at Hotel Indigo London Kensington was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the underground station, making it super convenient to explore central London. The staff were warm and welcoming, going out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Breakfast was exceptional—fresh, delicious, and full of variety, with a great mix of both traditional and international options. The overall atmosphere of the hotel feels stylish yet cozy, and every detail reflects thoughtfulness. It’s rare to find such a well-balanced blend of comfort, convenience, and charm. I’d highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting London.
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.
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.
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!.
High Street Kensington Apartments
The location was fantastic—walking distance to Kensington High Street and just a short subway ride from central London. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with excellent air conditioning that made the stay comfortable, especially during warmer days. Check-in was a bit stressful due to an unexpected delay, but the team handled it professionally and got us settled without further issues. The kitchen was functional but could use a few more essentials—only one non-stick frying pan was provided, and while all utensils were metal (which we appreciated), having a second cooking option or more basic supplies would have been helpful. Overall, this was a truly enjoyable stay. Great value for money and a perfect base for exploring London.
K Hotel Kensington
Staying at K Hotel Kensington was an absolute delight! The room was spacious, especially the bathroom—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. It came with a kettle, complimentary coffee and tea, plus a full set of toiletries, which was super convenient. Just remember to bring your own slippers and toothbrush. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—on my second day, we even chatted briefly in the elevator, which added a nice personal touch. The location is perfect: right next to the Natural History Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum, and it’s only a 20-minute walk to Harrods. The nearest Tube station is on the Piccadilly Line, making travel around London super easy. With such a great location, excellent service, and top-notch value, this hotel is a real winner. I’d definitely stay here again!
