Lovely Hotel in a Great Location”
I had a very nice stay at the Ampersand. I was only in London for one night, following a stay at another London hotel the week before, then a visit to Scotland. I almost wish I had stayed at the Ampersand for both London legs of my trip (the only thing that edged it out was the other hotel had a whirlpool bath, which was great after long days of sight-seeing). The hotel is in a fantastic location, right across from the South Kensington tube stop, near some great attractions (The Victoria & Albert is one of my favorite museums), and lots of fabulous shopping ad eating. The decor was truly lovely, the bed was DIVINE, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The complimentary minibar was a nice touch, and the thematic design was brilliantly done. I was a little worried I would run into some London snobbery, as the place looks quite posh, but the staff I encountered were wonderful. I ordered room service, and the food was excellent - I wish I'd had time to try the afternoon tea. I will definitely consider staying at the Ampersand again!

Best place to stay in London ”
The Ampersand has everything you need for your stay in London. It is seriously just across the street from the South Kensington tube station. In an upscale neighborhood close to restaurants, coffee shops and small markets... everything you need within walking distance. The staff is friendly, helpful and professional. We arrived early and our rooms wasn't quite ready, so they took our luggage for us and it was waiting in our room after we returned from sight seeing.

Excellent hotel but teeny tiny rooms”
I've never seen a hotel room this small before. This hotel would've been perfect, 5 stars, if not for the tiny room. It was just me and my daughter, and we're not big people. We're both skinny 100lb people and we felt squeezed in there. For the price we paid, we expected more, and yes, I know we're in South Kensington. It still didn't justify a hotel room of this size. I heard other guests talk to front desk about the size of their rooms, and I guess they've been taught to spin their answer..."you booked a standard classic room category...if you wanted a different room, you should have booked the next category, the deluxe..." Well, you're looking at more $$$$$$ if you did that when you've already paid $$$$. So don't bother discussing it cos it's a conversation that'll go nowhere. Other than that, the hotel is lovely, service is amazing, the lounge in the lobby is a delightful place to retreat to. The South Kensington tube station is literally a 3-min walk away. The restaurant options are plentiful. The V&A museum, Natural History museum, and Science museum are a short walk away. I'd stay at the Ampersand again. I'd also recommend this hotel but only if you really love your travel companion cos you'll be really cosy in that room.

Charming & Modern”
The location was probably the best thing about staying at The Ampersand Hotel, it was just 2 mins from the Tube Station, walking distance to Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Sloane Street. Great restaurants in the area. In addition, the hotel is well maintained, with a modern design, esthetically pleasing to the eye. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.

New Years Eve ”
We stayed on New Years Eve. The staff were friendly and very good with children. They helped with directions to where we needed to go and even provided us with a map. The room was beautiful, clean and decorated to a high standard. The bed was very comfortable. I haven't slept so well in years! The room was well equipped with complimentary soft drinks in the minibar; not just tea and coffee like most hotels. Lovely toiletries were provided and i had a gorgeous shower. My daughter made good use of the smart tv; playing youtube videos, accessing Facebook and playing music from the hotel playlists. We enjoyed playing table tennis and board games in the games room. And with food being available 24 hours a day we were able to sit in the drawing room and have something to eat and a glass of wine quite late in the evening. Breakfast, in the restaurant on the lower ground floor, was divine. All the regular foods you'd expect on the menu plus many more. My daughter had homemade waffles with Nutella, maple syrup and banana's, while I had coconut porridge with caramelised banana's. Delicious! The service was friendly and we didn't wait long for our food. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It is only a short walk away from the Natural History and Science museums and the Diana memorial in Hyde park. We will definitely be back. Couldn't fault any part of our stay. Thank you.

Delightful hotel!”
We got a good deal and were very happy with this hotel. Amazing location convenient for connecting to Heathrow on the Tube and getting to all the central London things we wanted to do, friendly and solicitous staff, and beautifully designed rooms with thoughtful extras.

Excellent Hotel”
This hotel is beautiful, modern and comfortable. The location can't be beat. It is close to attractions such as the V & A museum and the very central tube station South Ken. We had a wonderful room full of mod cons and it was quiet. But best of all, you can walk outside and find lots of restaurants and food options. The lovely surrounding streets make it good for walking and enjoying London on foot. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit!!!

Great Location and boutique design”
Great location among all the museums and right next to the Tube for getting around London pretty easily. We got the room that was one-up from the entry-level room and it was lovely, a lot lot bigger and more spacious than my brother who booked the entry-level room. Worth that extra little money. There is a great cafe from breakfast and lunch just across the road adjacent to the Tube. The whole design of the building is very cool and felt super modern for being in such an old building.

Awesome location”
It was a great location, with just 3 mins across South Kensington tube station, and a bus-stop just round the corner to take buses to major spots in London. Food galore surrounding the hotel. Love the designs and decor of the hotel, very contemporary and lovely. Only thing is the size of the room, it was the tiniest room I have ever stayed in! For the price, it really too small. But all else is well-equipped and sufficient. We will certainly come back for a stay, but probably opt for a bigger room.

Excellent service prior, during and after our stay. Very good and strategic location. Very convenient. We stayed in the Deluxe room and the room size is good, especially for London. Love the floor heating bathroom and the handy phone. Will return and highly recommended.

Great South Kensington Hotel Find”
We were really happy with our stay. The staff was friendly and responsive. The rooms have unexpected touches, like French press coffee makers and a complimentary mini-bar. The hotel has an intimate feeling, just the right size. The location is great, very close to the South Kensington tube station, many bus routes and with a taxi stand right out front. It was perfect for us.

It was indeed a very pleasant stay as the staff were really friendly and helpful, the location is great with most of everything I need around it. The 24-hour room service is perfect for someone like me who stay out late and need something to munch on when I get back the hotel late. Love to be there again!
