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.
The Hari London
The Hari London truly exceeded all expectations. I visited with my 3-year-old, and the staff went above and beyond to make both of us feel welcome and special. From the moment we arrived, they were attentive, warm, and genuinely caring—especially toward my little one, who was given a small welcome gift and even some fun toys to play with. He absolutely loved it and kept asking to come back every time we visit London. The atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, the rooms are spacious and beautifully designed, and the location is perfect—just a short walk from the subway and major attractions.

The neighborhood is quiet and secure, making it a peaceful retreat right in the heart of the city.

What truly stood out was the exceptional service—staff went above and beyond with genuine care and pride in their work.

St. Ermin's Hotel is an absolute gem in central London—its location can't be beat. Within a 20-minute walk, you're steps away from iconic spots like Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, the National Gallery, Chinatown, and Victoria Station.

The neighborhood itself is vibrant with great dining options and shops, so there's always something to explore nearby. The service is warm and attentive, and I especially loved the daily happy hour—complimentary drinks and rotating snacks that kept things fresh each day. On Fridays, there’s live entertainment that adds a fun, lively touch. The room was spacious enough for a family of three, with comfortable beds and a quiet, well-appointed atmosphere. The hotel’s restaurant is on the pricier side, but the food quality justifies it—every bite was delicious. Overall, this place offers excellent value for its prime location and refined experience. If you’re visiting London, this hotel should definitely be on your list.
Residence Inn London Kensington
Staying at Residence Inn London Kensington was an absolute delight. As a well-known international chain, the quality and consistency were spot-on—reliable, clean, and comfortable throughout. The location is fantastic: just steps away from the 74 bus route, which made daily trips to shopping areas and tourist spots super convenient. I especially appreciated having a kitchen with all essentials—plates, cutlery, and even paper towels—making it easy to prepare meals on-site. The supermarket right downstairs (a large Tesco) was a game-changer for groceries and snacks. And yes—the beef short ribs there are absolutely worth trying; rich, flavorful, and satisfying. For a great balance of comfort, convenience, and value, this hotel is definitely a top pick. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

The staff at Hux Hotel in Kensington were incredibly friendly and genuinely helpful from check-in to checkout. The rooms were spotless—cleanliness is clearly a top priority here. I especially enjoyed the bar, which served excellent cocktails and featured live music that added a vibrant touch to the evening. It’s a perfect spot for unwinding after a day of exploring London. Conveniently located near public transit, making it easy to get around the city. This place truly delivers on comfort, service, and atmosphere—definitely a standout choice for travelers looking for a memorable stay.
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.
