The Ampersand Hotel

The Ampersand Hotel is a very nice place to be. Very friendly and accomodating staff. The menu in the restaurant is good. The rooms are nicely decorated but rather small. If there were less decoration pillows one would profit of more room to put personal belongings whereever possible. If the room is situated next to the elevater you can hear it running up and down. It can bother your sleep. Better check before booking.

Great friendly staff, spectacular location, manager Catharina was super helpful. The non alcohol mini bar with snacks and soft drinks was free and replenished daily. The room was also cleaned daily with a turndown service in the afternoon. The room was a bit small but comparable to a boutique Hotel in NYC. The hotel was very quiet at night and so was the residential neighborhood. We did not eat at the hotel but the restaurant was busy and lively.||||The Ampersand is one minute walk to South Kensington Station on the Piccadilly and District lines. ||We took the Piccadilly line from Heathrow to South Kensington Stop about 25 minutes with NO line changes. There were few stairs to deal with at the South Kensington Station with luggage but not extremely difficult. Plenty of restaurants in the area ranging from English pubs, Italian, Indian and Lebanese. The grocery store was around the corner for water and wine.||||||||The V&A, Science and History museums are a 5 minute walk from the hotel. We also walked to Chelsea in 10 minutes and Knightsbridge in 15. ||||As a helpful note, do your research, We saw a guest complain that the independent private car service sent by the hotel to Heathrow charged $145 pounds. It clearly says it on the private car website. A taxi and Uber range from 65-100 depending on time of day. A private car service is always double even in the U.S.

The place to stay when luxury and comforts are your requirements. The entire hotel is beautiful, comfortable and staffed by the best people you’ll meet in hospitality. The reception staff was so welcoming and only too happy to assist!|The breakfast was delicious, ready before we arrived to enjoy and was able to meet our tight schedule. They were happy to arrange our transportation and answer our questions with no further inquiries needed!

Always a warm welcome with attention to detail and excellent, friendly service. I feel lucky to have found this hotel and to know that such high standards await me every time I come to London. Many thanks as always to Niels and his team.

Excellent staff, comfortable rooms and a great location for the V & A , Royal Albert Hall and Natural History Museum. The residence is adjacent to South Kensington Tube Station with a direct line to Heathrow Airport. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this hotel.

This hotel is a gem of a find, the rooms were lovely with high ceilings. Staff were friendly and attentive. Location is a 2 min walk from South Kensington tube station.

Staff was so accomodating, kind and generous for our party of three, including kids, arriving unannounced and without a reservation. We had an absolutely wonderful stay and would happily return and recommend. We also had a Jurrasic tea and it was delightful.

We had the kids science afternoon tea and the science afternoon. The scones were my favourite part of the afternoon tea. We got the jasmine silver needle but the peppermint wasn’t the best. The desserts for the kids science wasn’t the greatest. Nice decorations and cozy feel. I like how the kids science tea came with this really cool science experiment called the fizzy lemonade.
