Staying at The May Fair, A Radisson Collection Hotel was an absolute delight. The location couldn't be better—just a 3-minute walk to the nearest tube station and 4 minutes to the bus stop, making it incredibly easy to explore central London. I was especially impressed by the staff’s friendliness and proactive service; they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. While the room's soundproofing isn’t perfect against outside noise, everything else about the hotel shines—from the elegant ambiance to the luxurious touches throughout. Plus, being just a 10-minute stroll from Buckingham Palace made it effortless to enjoy some iconic sights. It’s clear this property offers excellent value for the experience. I’d definitely book again.
I stayed in a single room during my solo trip, and overall, the experience was very positive. The room size is just right for one person—comfortable but not overly spacious, so if you're tall or broad-shouldered, you might feel a bit cramped. Everything was spotlessly clean: the toiletries, the air conditioning, and even the bed linens felt fresh and well-maintained. I especially appreciated the large desk—it was perfect for working or getting ready in the morning. The only downside was the sound insulation; I could hear conversations from the hallway quite clearly, especially late at night. That said, it didn’t ruin the stay. The location is excellent—just a short walk to Euston Station, making it easy to get around London. For a quiet, clean, and convenient base with good value, I’d definitely recommend this hotel.
Staying in the Marylebone area was such a delight—there are so many charming shops and restaurants within walking distance, and on sunny days, strolling around the neighborhood feels like a real treat. We walked straight to Selfridges from the hotel, which was incredibly convenient. The nearby tube station offers easy access to the airport, but we also took several buses that stop right outside the hotel—perfect for exploring different parts of London. The location is unbeatable, the service was excellent, and I’d definitely stay here again without hesitation.
Staying at Park Plaza Victoria London was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The front desk staff greeted us with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality—especially helpful for us non-native English speakers. Their patience and clarity made check-in smooth and stress-free. As part of the hotel’s eco-friendly initiative, we were even gifted a lounge drink voucher, which was a nice little surprise. The ambiance throughout the property is beautifully scented, instantly helping to unwind after days of travel fatigue. On checkout, the concierge team went above and beyond: when I struggled to explain my need for a cardboard box using broken English and hand gestures, he calmly found one without hesitation—perfect for storing last-minute purchases. Truly thoughtful and kind-hearted service. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable—walking distance to Buckingham Palace, the National Gallery, and major transport hubs. While I noticed a few people experiencing homelessness on the street, they appeared peaceful and posed no threat; daytime outings felt completely safe. I actually considered buying food for them—London’s been so cold lately, and it broke my heart seeing how tough it must be. One small note: the doors are quite heavy and slam loudly, which caused some disturbance. On day one, I was woken up by a child running around and slamming the door next door. A minor improvement here would greatly enhance guest comfort. Lastly, huge thanks to that wonderful concierge gentleman—I didn’t catch your name, but please pass along my sincere gratitude. Your kindness made our stay truly memorable.
The staff was incredibly friendly and the check-in process was quick and seamless. We arrived early and were happily given access to our room right away—no waiting, no hassle. The location is excellent, just a short walk from major attractions and well-connected by public transit. It’s clear this hotel values guest comfort and efficiency. A+ experience overall—would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting London.
I've stayed at this hotel multiple times during my visits to London, and it never fails to impress. The location is excellent—right in the heart of the embassy district, quiet, safe, and just a short walk from major attractions. Public transport is super convenient, with the subway station nearby, making travel across the city effortless. The hotel itself is well-maintained, with modern amenities, comfortable beds, and clean bathrooms. Staff are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. It’s one of those rare places where you feel both relaxed and well-connected to the city. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone visiting London.
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.
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.
