    The room was well-organized with good quality. the shower and double sink in the room were great. the hotel's location is magnificent and absolutely perfect, just a 10-15 minute walk from a famous museum. It is situated in a beautiful, quiet area near the Royal Albert Hall and the South Kensington subway station.

    I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in a great neighborhood close to many attractions. The room was spacious, spotless, and had a lovely bath. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the service was top-notch. I also enjoyed the super fast and delicious room service. The hotel is conveniently located right next to the underground station, making it easy to explore the city. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

    The only downside was that there were some disruptions due to road closures, but the hotel staff was excellent in assisting me with alternative transportation options.

    What a fantastic weekend! The location was perfect, with easy access to the underground and nearby museums. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. Plus, the room was spacious and had all the amenities I needed, including a complimentary mini bar and a cell phone for use around the city.

    There were a few minor issues, like a small misunderstanding about the afternoon tea price and the lack of free refills on drinks. However, these were very minor and did not take away from the overall wonderful experience I had at this hotel.

    Great location near multiple underground lines, making it convenient for sightseeing. The staff was friendly and helpful, adding to a welcoming and safe atmosphere. The room was a good size with nice amenities, including a coffee machine and mini bar.

    The room had some maintenance issues, such as a broken safe and a wobbly shelf. The fold-away bed provided for our child was of poor quality and uncomfortable.

    My stay at the Ampersand was fantastic! The location was perfect for exploring the city, with parks, museums, and restaurants nearby. The room was comfortable and stylish, and the bed was incredibly cozy. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience, even upgrading my room when I needed more space for my luggage. The tea time was a delightful touch. I highly recommend this hotel.

    The Ampersand Hotel is conveniently located near South Kensington station, making it easy to explore London. The modernly designed rooms are spacious and feature amenities like a heated bathroom floor and complimentary mini-bar. The staff is friendly and provides excellent service, even going above and beyond to accommodate guests' needs. The hotel also offers a tea kettle and coffee press in the rooms, perfect for starting the day off right. Additionally, the hotel is situated just a short walk away from the V&A Museum and a variety of dining options.

    One minor drawback is that some guests experienced issues with the light switches in the room.
