Fantastic Hotel Staff, and service immpecible. When I need to stay in London Blakes will be top of my list. Can not praise highly enough Wonderful unforgetable experience more

A great place to stay if you're a celebrity or friend of the proprietor, but otherwise you will be treated as a pleb. The literature in the rooms about the 'concept' of the place is however fairly amusing and leaves you in no doubt about the high regard in which all those connected with the establishment hold themselves. more

Took my lovely wife for a surprise weekend in London for the sales, show and get away from the kids We found the hotel with ease, with our car, which the hotel arranged to be safely parked for the weekend near by, without any fuss. The room was fantastic, large, warm, well lit and comfortable. We didn't use the restaurant,... more

I stayed here for 6 nights for business. This hotel is so overpriced, and it doesn't help that the US dollar is worth half the pound. Just to get a small carafe of coffee to your room is $14.00 US. Just coffee. An English breakfast at their restaurant downstairs is $50.00 US dollars. For bacon and eggs. The rooms are... more

I think Blake's is due a refurb in the next year, which will, no doubt, update some of the quirks (slow, small lifts, crap TV, dodgy bathrooms) which shouldn't be an issue with a... more

My wife and I booked a room at Blakes for our anniversary on recommendation of a friend and wasn’t disappointed. The hotel is tucked away, on a quiet square and the rooms are luxurious, very stylish with really comfortable beds. Do remember though that this is Kensington and not Kissimmee ( Florida) so don’t expect a room as big as... more

As usual, there is more than a grain of truth to the majority opinon on Tripadvisor. I was sent to the Blakes after the Pelham could not honor my reservation. I was "upgraded" to a luxury preferred room, but it was quite in need of refurbishing. There may be many people who appreicate old world charms in a hotel. I... more

Had heard from a coupe of people that this was a good hotel to stay in the Chelsea area... I think though that was in the 1980's.. It needs a major refurbishment. The lift even had graffiti and the air conditioning wasn't working. My room was so hot that even after opening all the windows i was still hot. The... more

Tucked away down a quite residential street in South Kensington is the exclusive boutique hotel, Blakes. With my elderly parents coming to visit me from South Africa for the first time in ten years I needed a hotel a little bit special. From the moment you walk into reception the attention to detail really catches the eye. The staff were... more
