we loved the Ampersand hotel. The location could not have been better for shopping and museum hopping. The staff was very helpful and the room itself was gorgeous. I would’ve stayed in the room all the time if not for the wonderful location in Kensington/Chelsea/Westminster area having so many excellent restaurants and amenities, close to Hyde Park, V&A, museum, and natural history museum
