My wife and I were looking for a very nice, comfortable hotel to stay for our first trip to London. We wanted a hotel that was fairly small, with good staff that added a personal touch, and in a perfect location. If you are also looking for these features, search no longer!

Small, clean, well appointed, courteous staff, well located, good breakfast, small gym, quiet library, honor bar, elegant all around. Good for either a "couple's get away" or a business trip. Will definitely stay there next time I am in London.

The Pelham, a small luxury hotel, several dozen rooms, is basically flawless. Our accommodation was superb in every way over five nights. Fit & finish were unsurpassed - for example, marble & chrome bath, deep, long, & for two. Staff were omnipresent, at all hours, cheerful & helpful, beyond the call of duty. Unstinting Internet in the delightful "library" with... More

We have been to London many times and have stayed in several other lovely small hotels. However,we would have to say that the Pelham was especially charming. The hotel is very British with the common areas suggesting a country squires drawing room. The hotel rooms were elegantly decorated, each In a unique traditional style. This is definitely not a cookie... More

Just spent two nights at the Pelham. Things seem to be steady since the change in ownership although service levels have dropped a little bit. Check in was a bit rough (confused and room not ready) and then things were smooth from there. The room was nice appointed and clean and a small plumbing issue with a bathroom basin was... More

My husband and I stayed three nights at the Pelham while sightseeing. The location was a major draw. It is right across the street from the South Kensington Tube station. Walking distance to Victoria and Albert Museum and Harrod's, an easy Tube ride to everything else. We had a room on the first floor, which was a bit small (I... More

I have stayed at this hotel often. Highly consistent, clean, luxurious. Has the feel of a upscale b&b in the states. Restaurant on property is very good while plenty to choose from in walking distance. Location of this hotel is fantastic without having to stay at much more commercial properties on the main drag. Walkable to all key shopping on... More

The Pelham is a charming little hotel in a convenient area. The staff was wonderful and the lounge areas very cozy and comfortable. The rooms are a little on the small side, but that doesn't matter so much if you are there to sightsee anyway. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very clean and up to date.... More
