The Ampersand Hotel

The hotel is located a few minutes walk from South Kensington tube and it's a straight ride to Kings Cross, so if you're arriving into KX, it's a very easy journey (Piccadilly line). The hotel was exactly what I expected and is very well maintained and decorated, located straight across from a taxi rank, which was very useful. Set in a nice quiet area but with everything you need within a couple of minutes walk. The staff were superb, super helpful and informative, they really made us feel welcome. We had a free upgrade to a superior room, the bed was huge and extremely comfortable and the shower was outstanding (large enclosure and lots of water pressure).

Room was very comfortable, nice furnishings, extremely clean, very modern and efficient wiring; and ours was very very quiet- wonderful. The location could not be better: easy access to buses, tube, and taxis, plus lots of good places to eat. Close to museums and parks and Harrods, if that's your thing. Breakfast is not cheap, but there are many a la carte choices, and they are very tasty; plus you can ask to modify any order. Staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. Wonderful stay. Would book again in a heartbeat.

I had such a lovely experience at The Ampersand Hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming—truly going out of their way to make me feel comfortable. The room was spotless and beautifully designed, with a super comfy bed that made it hard to leave in the mornings. The location is fantastic—right in the heart of South Kensington, close to everything but still peaceful. Everything about my stay felt thoughtfully curated and elegant. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

This was a fairly small room, though not as small as some places we've been, and exactly as advertised. What stands out aside from that, however, is that this is probably the nicest hotel room that we've ever had the pleasure of visiting. I could find zero to complain about or wish were better: everything top-shelf, from the linens, to room fixtures, decoration, functionality (heating/air), etc. Bathroom had everything we needed. Everything in perfect shape. Exceptionally helpful staff. Just all splendid for our stay.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly kind and always ready to help with anything I needed. They even upgraded my room to one with a king-sized bed. The location is perfect, situated in a charming neighborhood with easy access to everything. It’s less than a minute from the tube station (though be mindful of heavy luggage, as the station doesn’t have a lift or escalator). I highly recommend this hotel for its excellent service and great location!
