The room was very nice and a nice size for London. It was a little expensive, but I believe that is par for the course when traveling to London. The location was great...right next to Hyde Park and the Marble Arch tube station (we would just make a short walk to this tube station whenever we would go out for... more

Highly recommended. We stayed at The Sumner on New Years Eve Dec 07 / Jan 09 and its a gorgeous small friendly hotel right in the heart of 'old fashioned' London. When you look out of your room window Its like stepping on to the Mary Poppins film set. Gorgeous rooms and lobby area. Clean, friendly, quite hotel with security... more

I have been to London twice on "college buddy" trips ten years ago. This time (March 2009) I was there with my wife. Previously I had stayed at hostels; but finally chose a hotel this go around. What a find! I am a member of Best Western points club, but could not find a favorable location based on other Trip... more

We stayed at the Sumner in May of 2009. W|e had a large room (15 sq) overlooking the front of the hotel. The large windows opened up to the street but unfortunately there were no screens so we had to close them in the evening. It was a nice surprise that North American electrical appliances worked in the already adapted... more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sumner. We upgraded to a deluxe queen room which we honestly thought was a bit small for what we were expecting, but we are used to the huge USA rooms. The rooms had great furnishings including a very comfortable bed, desk, armoire, flat screen TV and large bathroom. The continental breakfast is quite... more

The hotel was in a great location, check in was efficient and friendly, the room was lovely. Traffic noise was noticeable but not too bad. The people walking around upstairs were the most heavily footed, restless and inconsiderate we have encountered. Every night for our 3 night stay they paced heavily back and forth for what seemed like most of... more

This hotel is comfortable and stylish, and the staff are friendly and helpful The location is convenient. Marble Arch tube stop for us is a five minute walk, not the 10-15 minutes mentioned in another review. The breakfast is fine, although real fruit juice, rather than flavored water, would have been appreciated. The hotel is clean and well maintained, and... more

I'd have given The Sumner a five star rating had it not been for the fact that they bungled our booking and put us in a first floor room when we'd specifically asked to be at the top of the hotel to avoid street noise. They were, however, good enough to move us on our second day, though it was... more

Very nice and helpful staff. The room was not too small for a small hotel and it had a king side bed. Good breakfast and the internet was available in the lobby. It was about 10-15 minute walk to Marble Arch tube stop. I would recommend this hotel if your are in London. We also got a discount by mentioning... more
