E3NeenzMay 20, 2015I adore this hotel. I've stayed here a couple times before and keep coming back. Comfy beds, great shower, friendly staff, outstanding location (near parks, tube & food) AMAZING TEA. Stay here.
Joanna FraczekNovember 21, 2012A la carte breakfast is delicious! Granola is top notch, full English looks scary but is actually very digestible while home made waffles with honey&bananas are heavenly :)- Lime&Tonic LondonAugust 13, 2013Treat yourself to a special Afternoon Tea with champagne, premium teas and coffees, and home-made pastries in the Ampersand Hotel's Drawing Rooms. Lime&Tonic price £27.50 Read more
Perfect location and nice overall design of hotel, compared to others in London. Go for the breakfast, simple and not too much choice, but of good quality!Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Sofa BApril 20, 2016The afternoon tea is delightful. The rooms are small but aesthetically pleasing. Staff is super friendly. Neighborhood is great; just a few steps away from South Kensington station. 10/10.- twee_dFebruary 3, 2013Beautiful hotel, awesome staff, superb room (deluxe studio was a great size- always an issue in London) Loved decor and tea room (the Drawing Rooms)
Benjamin 🚀September 11, 2014Lovely hotel! Make sure to get a high floor to avoid the rumblings of the underground. The WiFi is sadly almost unusable... So save work for another day 😊.
Michael LeisMay 21, 2015Nice boutique hotel. South Kensington station makes getting places easy. Many small great breakfast places and wafflemeister right around the corner. Secret: impeccable laundry service.- Zahra Hamirani, Esq.January 29, 2017Excellent service and a beautiful room in a central part of london. This is my go to london hotel!
Top10October 10, 2014In the thick of London's museum neighbourhood, this is the perfect retreat after a day of dinosaur bones and outer space.
Kristine HoegDecember 1, 2013If you're a light sleeper, ask for a non-front room. And dear dear Ampersand - invest in sound-proofing the windows. Street noise and tired souls make for a bad match!- Michael LeisFebruary 23, 2015Nice place and awesome location. Okay breakfasts. If you're from the U.S., get ready for tiny but nice rooms. Staff was fantastic.
Saud AlghizziJune 22, 2015Good hotel. I'm staying here for 5 days. I will give a thorough judgment afterwards.
Elisa GiorginiMay 5, 2013The Spanish camarero from Gran Canaria is very nice, for a chic afternoon tea in the heart of south Kensington!!!
Jan JirsaFebruary 24, 2016Great hotel! Higher price but worth it. High standard meeting room facilities.
QOctober 20, 2019Small rooms with hardly any place to put your luggage. Huge bathrooms for no reason. Super small closet means u can’t even hang your clothes properly. Apart from the location, I won’t recommend this.
ig: tidyairportsFebruary 23, 2014Staff treat you like royalty. Really happy with the place. Treat yo self for an afternoon tea.
Leda K TeixeiraOctober 4, 2012Bom hotel: muito boa decoração, bons amenities, limpo, bem localizado, atendimento de boa qualidade. Serviço de quarto e demorado, mas a comida é boa!
