I enjoyed the Boutique 54 Hotel in London at %$ Queen's Gate. The shower stall ion my room was microscopic & the room itself barely larger than the bed but it was fine since I was at a conference the whole time & only there to sleep. the best part of the hotel is the friendly staff (esp.

I picked this hotel due to the positive reviews here. I wish that I had spent my money elsewhere. The welcome was rather odd. The small reception desk is not clearly signsted, so I ended up asking to check in at the bar. I was kindly shown to the correct area. However the first guy then stood behind the receptionist...

Excellent location, very good service, great price. But a few warts: The carpet in my room was old with stains and worn spots. (It's nicer in the common areas.) My room was cold; I had to ask for a heater. Every time you return, you must ring the bell and wait for someone to come let you in. This is... More

No fear from the climb : I had a lovely quiet room on the 4th floor. But even if I'd had problems to climb : the nice receptionist offered his help (I'm afraid lots of people have complained already...). The hotel is just opposite to V&A Museum - I had a lovely view over the roofs of South Ken. So... More

My husband booked this hotel so we could go to the Bowie exhibition at the V&A. Just around the corner from V&A, natural history and science museums and a stones throw from some lovely restaurants. We used it as a base so our interaction with staff was purely checking in and out. Lovely large room in the basement had everything... More

My husband and I arrived into London at 5am from Australia and the prospect of spending a whole day until we could check in in our airline clothes was awful! 54 boutique hotel were so lovely and let us check in early (as our room was free). The staff at reception were most helpful and we had a deluxe double... More

Small hotel, the reception / lobby made me a touch nervous (was tiny!) but the staff is really friendly, and the rooms tick all the boxes of what I look for in a hotel: Super quiet rooms (no loud air conditioner units outside the windows, no traffic noise, no loud elevators...) very comfortable beds, good closet space, excellent bath &...

Your experience of London is dictated very heavily by the neighbourhood in which you choose to stay. The 54 is across the road from the Natural History Museum and therefore only a block away from the V&A. It is an easy walk to Gloucester Road tube, which, being on the Piccadily Line, is your access to all of London, including... More

I stayed here many years ago. I was in London for the first time. Initially I had a dorm-size single room, but later was upgraded to a great room overlooking the carriage houses (Queen's Gate Mews) behind the property (lovely). I was in London alone and pregnant (still experiencing morning sickness, lol), a stop over on my way to see... More
