Seeing the black facade of Blakes against the white of S Kensington houses gave me great hope for this hotel. And the original design of the entrance and the rooms was, indeed, stunning. But, unfortunately, all else failed and at these rates, and with the competition among London hotels, I expected much more. In all honesty, I felt as though... More

I stayed at Blakes in May. very good location. Close to cool shops and restaurants. Victoria & Albert and Natural History Museum walking distance. Very nice and helpful staff. Charming rooms with cute details (fresh flowers or Molton Brown toiletries). As it has been said everything you expected was there... Looking forward to returning soon!

We stayed at Blakes back in September. The hotel is visually stunning, yet inviting. The staff were all helpful and cheerful and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Our very, very late night roomservice request was served promptly and cheerfully. The pillows are so exceptional that I bought a set for myself.

Simply stunning stay at Blakes on Friday - charming service, superb location and Suite 005 is certainly one not to be missed. Would return within a flash.

We had a wonderful stay. Everything you expected was there and it was truly lovely. However, 3 points that annoyed me about the place. We stayed in a luxury double suite, which was in fact two single beds pushed together. Not good. The other point was the confusing light switches. You can't turn on the lights in the bathroom without... More

I am deeply disheartened to read this terrible review. Firstly, our porters provide a car parking service, and will top up the meters when it is due, this is due to us being in a residential road. We are currently exploring options to be able to offer a better solution. Angelo, our reception manager immediately went to your room, when... More
