"Romantic and convenient"
Stayed in a 'luxury' room on top floor - large, beautifully furnished and decorated. Great old-fashioned bathroom. The public reception area and bar were also full of charm. Very convenient for South Kensington tube within 5 mins walk. Two downsides - the lift was very slow and small and no obvious stairs to use instead. And the reception staff gave us the wrong cheaper standard room first, even tho' we made a point on checking in that we had paid for a luxury room.

"Quaint stay"
We stayed for a weekend in this hotel. It is located in a really lovely area. The hotel overall was quaint, with an old worlde feel, which is what I like in a premises. The room was on the small side, but very cutsey with an old fashioned feel but importantly, was clean. The air conditioning unit was funny and thought it ruined the look of the room. The bathroom again was old (original old, not mock!) but everything was clean, and worked properly, the shower had good power and the bath was of adequate size. The lift was a bit tempormental and was TINY, but for me this just adds character as I am rather jaded with soulless, sterile hotels with no charm. I would reccomend this hotel if firstly, you want something traditional and has original character and secondly, you wish to stay in a nice location of London.

"Really nice hotel"
We stayed here for one night in Feb attending a rather lovely party at the V&A. The hotel was booked for us. It was a really nice hotel to stay in. Easy to find, and a fantastic location for the museums, Hyde Park, Knightsbridge etc. The hotel was ever so slightly odd/eccentric but I just liked that. Our room (407) was a good size and really nicely decorated, with an excellent bathroom and nice toiletries. Service was helpful and prompt. My only negative would be that I ordered room service and an iron/board at approx 5.30. Both arrived very promptly and I had no complaints. When I went out at 6.30 I left both in the hall outside the door...and when we left the hotel at 5am the next morning, it was still there, which was a shame. Gutted I missed breakfast due to the early start, I think it would have been a good one. Overall though a great little hotel. I'd definitely stay there again,

"Excellent choice of accomodations"
Stayed 6 nights and left March 3, 2007. Perhaps because we had such an extended stay, they gave us an isolated room (#109) on the mezzanine level. It was warm and quiet, had a firm mattress, and a super clean, nice, bright bathroom with shower/tub combo. There was an Internet hookup which we didn't use and a TV with remote. We paid $200 a night and booked several weeks in advance via a website. We did not have the breakfast option. The location is wonderful: walking distance to South Kensington tube, the Natural History Museum and, most importantly, the Victoria & Albert Museum where we spent 1 1/2 days; in addition, there are a lot of restaurants and cafes within walking distance--closer to the tube station. There is a bar in the lovely lobby, and they stock the daily newspapers, so you can relax there after a long tourist day. It's on a quiet side street in an area that has a number of embassies. We felt quite safe in South Kensington. Now if you want to be a Martha Stewart understudy, you could fuss over the fact that the room's wallpaper had a glue issue and the upholstery in a chair needed attention, but we were so tired by the time we got to the room that trivia like that doesn't concern us. The front desk was manned sufficiently 24 hours a day, and we are happy that out of all the London 3 star hotels, we choose this one.

"Charming cozy hotel"
I had read some bad reviews so I had some apprehension about the hotel but it turned out to be lovely. The rooms are small but this is London and all the rooms are small by American standards. The rooms are well done with nice wallpaper and draperies, the baths have a small granite countertop and granite tile walls and floor, the beds are comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful and breakfast was good. The location was great; close to the tube and safe with a number of nice little restaurants within walking distance. The lobby was wonderful, with lots of old paintings, and guests often sat a talked there for a few minutes before going out.

"A delightful small hotel"
The Gallery Hotel in London is charming. Rooms are small, but tastefully decorated. The staff is young, yet very friendly. Andrea Valera was most helpful at all times. The hotel is situated two blocks from the S. Kensington Tube. The neighborhood is nice: many good restauranst, especially Pauls across from the tube for morning croissants & tea. I will definitely return. Diane K. Bader Hollywood, FL
