    The hotel is ideally located near many attractions and offers lovely rooms with elegant decor. the air conditioning in our room was not very effective during a warm stay, and some cleanliness issues were present upon arrival. a good choice for a convenient getaway but could improve on comfort and housekeeping.

    Decent stay with a few bumps

    Had a pretty good stay. My room was a decent size and had all the modern stuff I needed. Really appreciated the free drinks and snacks—it hit the spot! The internet worked fine too. But check-in was a bit rough and the staff were just okay. Kind of a buzzkill for a 5-star place.

    comfort issues

    I enjoyed my stay in a lovely and cozy small double room, which was well-maintained with great amenities. the room's limited storage space made it slightly uncomfortable for an extended stay. It is perfect for a short visit and close to public transport, making it convenient for exploring nearby attractions.

    perfectly positioned for museum visits and city strolls

    I had an amazing stay at this hotel, especially since it’s just a quick walk to the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum, making my weekend explorations all the more enjoyable. the room was quiet and comfortable, a nice retreat after bustling days out in the city.

    great location
    poor breakfast
    bad bathroom design

    The ampersand hotel is just lovely! The staff are super friendly and attentive, always there to help, and the room was gorgeous with all the bird motifs. There were complimentary cookies and popcorn that were a nice touch! The location is perfect, super close to everything and safe. The afternoon tea was yummy too!

    The breakfast could’ve been better and the bathroom design was a bit weird with not much space to put stuff.

    Amazing stay in South Ken!

    What a lovely experience! The staff were super friendly and left a newspaper at my door each day. The room was always spotless and so comfy. The location was perfect for getting around. There were lots of cozy restaurants to try nearby. Only thing is, the bar area could get a bit crowded in the evenings.

    stylish room
    complimentary snacks

    It was just a well-suited match for a weekend jaunt in London with good value considering the price charged. The room was stylish and clean. It had a nice coffee and tea station with complimentary snacks. Definitely check out Muriel's for breakfast and afternoon tea.

    Just a reliable pick for a weekend trip in London with real value for money. The free mini bar was filled up in the evening, which was a nice surprise. Make sure to check the bar hours before heading down.

    superb location
    exceptional cleanliness
    limited space
    small bathroom layout
    pricey breakfast

    The location is superb, just a short walk from the tube station and several museums. The room, a Deluxe Double Room, was exceptionally clean and featured remarkably comfortable beds, creating a restful atmosphere. While the bathroom layout was small, it still provided everything needed for a good experience. One downside was the limited space when adding an extra bed, making the area cramped. breakfast, although high quality, felt a bit pricey for a continental buffet.
