“Just very good.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 29, 2012

Rooms lovely, big modern and clean. Staff great. That's all you need and that is what you get. The location is without peer and - don't laugh - get an oyster card and use the buses that come constantly past the end of the street to get around.

“Fantastic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

Stayed for one night with my husband. We have eaten at Nahm quite a few times and loved it so we thought we would try a stay at the hotel as soon as we had an excuse.

We arrived before published check in time. This was not a problem for the receptionist, they offered to sort us out a room early but we intended to go out for lunch any way. We had a quick coffee to warm up and headed out. When we returned they informed us that our room had been up graded to a studio suite. The room was lovely. Great bed and quality bedding, a good size seating area and a little dressing area. The bathroom had the most powerful shower I have ever experienced. Really liked the toiletries - aromatherapy type smell to them. Nespresso coffee machine with choice of coffee but no tea making facilities in the room.

We dined at Nahm in the evening. The food was amazing and the service excellent. In fact all of the staff we met were friendly and efficient.

The hotel is in a great location for shops and restaurants and only short walk from Hyde Park Corner tube station. There is an interesting pub round the corner also if you fancy something like that. It's called the Grenadier and in the middle of a row of mews houses.

Breakfast was also very good. Fast service and plenty of choice. My husband selected boiled eggs which were slightly underdone for his liking but still a very good breakfast over all. Great choice of preserves for toast. Great fresh juices.

I would definitely stay here again. I think it might be my favourite London stay so far!

“Perfection!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

This hotel was perfect for our Thanksgiving long weekend getaway! The room was spacious, tastefully decorated with a huge marble bathroom featuring a giant tub and a separate shower, and immaculately clean! The staff was professional, courteous and very helpful (THE MAID EVEN NEATLY FOLDED UP A T-SHIRT WE LEFT OUT ONE DAY). The hotel sits on a quiet street (Halkin St.) in the upscale residential area. Street noise was non-existent in our 4th floor room. The hotel is just about 2 blocks from the Hyde Park Corner tube stop and a nice walk from Knightsbridge (Harrods). We loved this hotel and will definitely be going back!

Room Tip: We stayed in a Delux room

“Hidden Gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

We absolutely loved this hotel, hidden away from the the locura that is the City, but close to everything.

We had a suite which was amazing and in keeping with other Como hotels, elegantly understated and oozing class.

Aside from the staff being incredibly helpful and friendly, they seem to genuinely love working there which is so nice to see.

Hotel - Amazing... Staff - Amazing... Dining - Amazing... Nahm is fantastic and breakfast on the balcony just rounded off a perfect weekend.

“An experience to remember”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

This hotel is far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, offering a quiet serene haven where you can "zone out" and re-energise. The rooms are bright and airy with all the mod-cons that one could wish for.

We stayed at the Halkin in celebration of our wedding anniversary and we booked the Gastronomy Package and were not disappointed. Upon our arrival we were treated like royalty. The staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly.

Would highly recommend staying at this lovely hotel.
