We stayed at the Beaufort last weekend for 2 nights. It is a very pleasant hotel and like another review said, the complimentary afternoon tea and drinks in the evening are a really nice touch if you have the time to take advantage, we didn't unfortunately.

We stayed in room 6, it was down a couple of steps from the entrance hall near the ladies toilet.

The room was very very small and it had an enormous bed, so that didn't help, I would say it should have been a single room. One step from the side of the bed and you were in the en-suite, which was a good size compared to the bedroom.
It was very difficult for my husband and myself to move around at the same time, so getting ready to go out was quite an effort, plus it was unbearably hot as the air con didn't seem to work, I had to take the front off the radiator cover to turn the radiator off.
There wasn't a dressing table in the room and the full length mirror was on the inside of the door to a tiny built in wardrobe, and I mean tiny, you would not be able to stay for any length of time as there's hardly any space for your clothes plus, and this one is more for the ladies, I found it really difficult to dry my hair because of the mirror/plug situation.

The room above us must have had wooden floors as we were woken both mornings at about 7am with people walking around.

The hotel was in a really convenient position and it was spotlessly clean and the staff were really friendly. I would stay there again but only if we guaranteed a different/much bigger room.

In an overpriced London hotel market this one really stands out. Fabulous location; stylish, well thought-out bedrooms; a very sleek and inviting lobby and interesting artwork on the walls. Best of all are the little touches: free afternoon tea and scones brought to your room; free drinks – including chilled champagne – from the help-yourself bar; free movies and internet access. Of course if you don’t drink tea or champagne, don’t watch movies, don’t like art and don’t use the internet you may as well stay somewhere else. But if you do some or all of these things, you’ll immediately shave quite a lot of money off your bill – which is very reasonable in the first place.

The Beaufort is a small hotel in a very nice location in central London. The place has been given a facelift recently, so it is quite pleasant. The rooms are well appointed and modern. However, the room you get is very important. One word of caution....DO NOT STAY IN THE BASEMENT!! The floors are thin as paper, the ceiling is very low (maybe 2.3M or 7 feet) and there is constant activity in the reception area over your head. Our friend stayed above ground level and said it was pleasant. Also, hotels in London are generally overpriced. You would expect the Ritz in the States for these prices, but this is just a small, relatively simple boutique hotel. One other plus; free wine and champagne all evening.

I had stayed at this hotel several times although not in the last couple of years. Imagine my surprise to see the major changes since I last stayed here. At first I wondered if I was in the right place! Gone is the cozy, comfy country house and in with the new, sleek modern style. At first I didn't like it, but then grew to love it. Although the lobby area is quite cold and unwelcoming a planned fireplace may make it more welcoming. Our room was large, immaculate and complete with all the amenities. Service remains superb with the complementary afternoon tea, bar and wonderful breakfasts served on Wedgewood China. We were in Room 3 in the basement and right across from the lounge which housed the computer (with complementary internet access) snacks, cofee and comfy chairs. We felt like we were in our own home or at least an elegant suite. One might imagine that it would make the bedroom noisy, but everything was as quiet and elegant as can be. In a very inflated London Hotel market, this little gem offers great value and I can't wait to return.
