I have just spent a week at The Cranley and what a pleasurable experience. Because of the long stay I booked the Junior Suite so as to give us more space and it was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. Unfortunately we couldn't make use of the lovely little courtyard as it rained most days and was cold. The staff at... More

The Cranley is a beautiful hotel in a quiet residential neighborhood, convenient to restaurants, pubs, shopping and the tube. Our stay could not have been better. The staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Our room was lovely and larger than we expected.

Cranley apartment is like home to me whenever I need to be in London. It has the amenities of a hotel and yet it is furnished like a cosy apartment, but complete with full kitchen facilities, a very modern bathroom and a very contemporary looking living room. The neighborhood is great too, close to Gloucester station with some really great... More

We booked into the Cranley as we had found an offer on another website and it looked as though the hotel was in a good location for what we wanted to do while we were in London. We arrived very early in the morning having come off the sleeper from Glasgow but we were still met with very friendly and... More

The Cranley is an antiqueish boutique hotel where every room is different. The service (cleaning, room service , concierge) was personal and was outrstanding. They have an onsite "desk" person who will help you with your every need (room, city information, travel, directions, etc). Tiffany was awesome but all of the staff were great. It is a superb location in... More

Very elegant, well-apportioned bed and breakfast in South Kensington. Room size was adequate but the fine details (heated towel warmer, turn down service, room service) were exquisite. The neighborhood is fantastic--you can walk by a Ferrari and a Lamborghini dealership on your way to the Tube. Tube stations are about 7 and 12 minutes by walk. Would absolutely stay again.

I booked this boutique hotel because I was familiar with this neighbourhood of London (South Kensington / Earl's Court / Fulham Rd) and the place looked cozy and inviting. I originally was supposed to come for a short stay in July, but due to a huge mess-up by British Airways (a cancelled flight which resulted in my itinerary getting completely... More

My husband and I were just at the Cranley. We enjoyed three nights in this charming hotel. It is quite small and feels very English, which is precisely what I hoped for. The staff were courteous and very professional. The neighborhood is convenient to the Victoria and Albert Museum, as well as Kensington Gardens. For the price it was much... More

My daughter and I recently stayed in the Cranley Hotel. It is a small boutique hotel located in a very upscale residential neighborhood. It is close to the Glouster tube station and to a bus stop that services Kensington and other popular venues. It is also close to many restaurants and there is a small market on the corner. Our...
