I'm fortunate to have stayed in top hotels all over the world, there are many that are great. But if you are looking for something unique as well as luxurious then look no further than Blakes. Its decadent styling combined with top class service and fabulous restaurant make for a terrific stay. And the rooms are a cut above, individually... More

Cannot say how dissappointed we were with this hotel. The room was tiny, dark and shabby. Our shower was above the bath with a pull around shower curtain and the shower was either boiling hot or freezing cold, unacceptable for a room costing £300 +. The overall impact was a tired hotel cashing in on a brand and a location.... More

A decent enough hotel let down by service issues. Having been contacted the day before to confirm our arrival time it was disconcerting to arrive at check-in and be told they couldn't find the reservation. After much searching it was located and we were advised room available from 2pm (this was 1.30pm). We went for a stroll and returned at... More

My family have been coming here for years. Every room is different and designed by the talented Anousaka Hemple.. It is the original boutique hotel. It is laid back and relaxed and gives you a taste for living in London. The bar area is warm and cozy and the outside courtyard is a great place to sit out and have... More

Lovely hotel with a fantastic atmosphere. Small, cozy, so comfortable that makes us feel at home. Set in a charming neighborhood, is a bit far from the underground. But if you like to walk, it's the best!

Nice friendly staff but the rooms where small and the shower impossible. The lift only held two people and was very old and slow and would not be good fro someone who did not like to be confined as our friends wife would not go in it. All in all it seemed expensive. Bar did not seems to have many... More

My Girlfriend and I stayed at Blakes and were unfortunately underwhelmed. Staff were nice however our room had some minor maintenance issues on arrival that we wouldn't expect at a hotel of this standard and price. We asked for these to be sorted while we were out of the room and explained that we planned to take our time getting... More

The Blakes is among my favorite Hotels in London, probably it is not as glamorous as the Claridges, but in my opinion it is better. The rooms are small, hence I strongly suggest the Junior Suites. The decor is "perfect" and the service is excellent, you really feel at home!
