Independent South Kensington hotels

"The hotel offers a perfect stay in every respect but especially in the outstanding service that each and every employee offers a guest. The happiness of the staff members are reflected in their quality of service. I will definitely stay at this gem of a hotel again! Referring this to friends- absolutely!!!"

"Wonderful hotel. Very kind staff. Excellent location. Convenient to underground station, grocery store, drug store, cafes, and restaurants. Clean and pretty room. Very quiet. Highly recommend. "

"Wanted a room with 2 real beds, NOT a sofabed or roll-way. The Bailey's was one of the few hotels I found with this room type. Also, the option for an early check in was very attractive, since we were to arrive at 7:30 AM. The staff were all lovely and helpful. Only ate the buffet breakfast once, which was ok, but there's so many more options very nearby. The hotel is beautiful, common areas well decorated. The room carpet is looking like it's been around a while, but everything in the room was very clean. The beds were comfortable, and the mini fridge was a bonus. Complementary bottled water, tea, and coffee in the room made mornings simpler. The bathroom toiletries were high quality (including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand wash, and lotion -- no bar soap, so bring your own if you prefer a bar.) The location was excellent. Right across the street from the Gloucester Road station, with access to 3 lines (District, Circle, Piccadilly). It was a straight shot from Heathrow on the Piccadilly, and only cost a little over 5 pounds each. Several restaurants on the block offered a wide selection of cuisine -- everything from ramen to pub food. It was generally pretty quiet, even being on a main street. I only have 2 complaints: 1) Only a heavy duvet was provided, so were all too hot at night and had to blast the AC. A top sheet or light blanket would have made things more comfortable and been more sustainable! 2) The bathroom lighting is deplorable. "

"The location is excellent - near the V&A and the Albert Hall and many other attractions. It is also easy to get to. I would have appreciated free range eggs at the breakfast bar, by the way. Otherwise the food was excellent. Thankyou."

"Hotel was perfect for us. Great location, quiet, clean, great service on reception, super room for a great nights sleep "

"I really liked the smallness of the hotel--the fact that it wasn't a huge chain. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the immediate area and provided good suggestions both walkable and via the tube to food and entertainment options. Though my room was by the elevator, it was very quiet. The hotel room was small but it had everything I needed and then some. Loved the heated towel bar and the little kitchenette and the touch of a bottle of wine on arrival was sweet. I would definitely stay at this hotel again."

"Great value for money, nice 4 star in a great location"

"Great location, well equipped rooms and enjoyable breakfast for a reasonable cost "

"Outstanding customer service. Friendly staff went above and beyond, even assisting me to send a package back to Australia. "
