We didn't have a great start to our stay here. The room they chose for us had a broken a/c unit. They offered to switch us to a room that sounded like the elevator was traveling directly through it. Someone else on this site gave a more in depth review of that ridiculous room. We stuck with no a/c, but... more

This was a lovely boutique hotel. The staff were friendly and the rooms truly gorgeous and spacious, especially for London. I stayed in three different rooms during my stay... two of which were grand and beautiful and one which was just nice... all in my quest to find a quiet room. This is the downfall of the Pelham. While it... more

Really lovely hotel and the service good. Great location with the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum a 5 min walk away. Lots of restaurants and cafe's around the area too. Only one fault and that was the room we were in that we had to be moved from on the second night. Room 401 was right next to... more

In summary: I’d rank this hotel ‘off the scale’ and at '5 plus'. The service was wonderful, the décor in the hotel and the room were lovely – stylish, comfortable and fitting for the place – and the hotel and room were very clean and well maintained, the bed was great, and the continental breakfast was excellent. This hotel is... more

The Pelham is a wonderful, tastefully appointed boutique hotel perfectly located across the street from the South Kensington tube stop. That is a great plus in that you simply take the tube directly from Heathrow and do not have to bother transferring from Paddington. The rooms are clean, bright, and cozy-comfortable. Heated towel racks in the bathroom, great shower gel/shampoo,... more

They made a nice fuss of our honeymoon stopover. Lovely rooms, well soundproofed from the road noise. Lots to do close by. Excellent overall. more

We spent 2 nights at the Pelham and 'found' it through a 2 nights for the price of 1 offer at boutique hotels in a national newspaper, so this was great value for us! We were made to feel very welcome by the friendly staff, but did not feel smothered. We had a Superior Double, as the helpful receptionist told... more

Stayed in room # 2 on the ground level on the front of the hotel. A bus stop is outside the windows of room #2. Room is done in pink and green. Water pressure in bathroom was strong. Heated towel rack in bathroom was a nice touch. Four sets of towels provided twice daily. Combination bathtub/shower is done in granite... more

We found out about the Pelham through friends, and it is also one of the hotels mentioned by Rick Steves in his London 2009 guidebook. We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, and overall it was a great hotel. It's a charming block of townhouses in central London that feels more like a home than a cookie cutter, corporate... more
