Official Description (provided by the hotel)

With some of the most stylish hotel rooms in Kensington, The Ampersand is a privately-owned luxury London hotel that combines contemporary excellence in design, service, food and technology in an 1888 building at the capital's heart. We have been inspired by those great Victorian values of discovery and wonder - and given them a modern, whimsical twist. The result: a cosmopolitan, 111-room luxury boutique hotel, bar, restaurant and drawing rooms, delivering 21st-century warmth, humour and total comfort.The Ampersand Hotel is situated just a minute's walk from South Kensington tube station, and is well connected to Heathrow airport. ... more

“Fabulous”

5 Star all the way. Excellent service from all staff. Food in the downstairs restaurant was the best we had eaten in London. The location is great for the Tube and the Albert and Victoria Museum. We have been to London twice now and each we have stayed at The Ampersand.

“Excellent hotel in a prime location”

We spent 5 nights at the hotel. First -- the location is excellent, 2 min walk to the tube and close to museums and shopping. The place is beautiful, clean, lux all around. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The Apero restaurant turned out to be superb.

Had a great stay here! The staff for the most part were friendly. The room was tight in space but that seems to be a London thing. They did not really have any draws to unpack your closes as they were all used for the safe, fridge and hair dryer and such. The bed was extremely comfortable and had great... More

“Great hotel in a great hotel”

Reviewed 3 days ago NEW

We really liked this hotel. The people, room and service were all great. It's located in a very nice part of town, within walking distance to at least three popular shopping destinations as well as great restaurants and the Victoria and Albert museum.

“Perfect place to stay!”

Starting with location and ending with comfort, this was the perfect place to stay for our 3-night trip to London. Steps from the South Kensington tube station, in a relatively quiet neighbourhood, we found the hotel to be excellently located for travel from Heathrow or Gatwick, and for trips into the City during the day. The room was much larger... More

Upsides: Great location, spotlessly clean hotel with well appointed but quite compact rooms. Standard of finish in rooms was excellent, service was polite and efficient. People not prepared for the usual London price shock may find it compares less well with other large cities but when compared with other hotels in the capital this is a gem. Downsides:Room was a...

Smoke detector/carbon monoxide detector battery on low and beeped all night. No fix plan from front desk and no option to move. No refund or make good offered. Stayed here many times but won't do so again.

Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us. I am sorry your stay was not as enjoyable as previous stays with us. I have spoken with the team with regards to this issue and I understand you refused the offer to change rooms when the night team were unable to prevent the detector from beeping.... More
