10/10 Excellent

Rooms were really comfortable and nicely decorated. It had a more unique feel to the place than most hotels. Easy to get anywhere using nearby underground station. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. It is on a busy road but quiet inside. One thing that was a surprise was the perfume in the lobby but that seems to be a thing in the hotels here.

I loved this stay. I travelled with my daughter and loved the comfy room, lovely service and amazing location.

Caroline, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is the most fabulous property. They had it decorated for Wimbledon and gave us strawberries and cream and a Pims upon arrival. The lobby is beautiful, the room was comfortable, clean, and beautiful! Any request we had was promptly granted and the Italian restaurant, “Da Mario,” within walking distance is a must but make a reservation a day or more before. The Indian restaurant next door was wonderful and super fast for take out. The tube is just across the street less than a block. I loved staying here and would stay here again without a second thought. Excellent staff, too!

Melia Hotel is conveniently located just a couple blocks from the subway in the lovely neighborhood of South Kensington. We enjoyed walking to Hyde Park and the History and Science museums. The hotel is a beautiful old building retrofitted with modern amenities and furnishings. The staff was always helpful and quick to assist. The only downsides are the rather small rooms with no closets (just a wardrobe for hanging clothes) and the sound proofing leaves much to be desired. If you’re claustrophobic and/or a light sleeper this might not be the place for you.
Keira, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I loved the location, the hotel is beautiful and comfortable. The staff is really friendly and accomodating. The only issue I did not like is the breakfast in Hispania, the service is very lacking especially from a staff member that could not even fanthom to bring a glass of water, let alone pick up the plates, too expensive for the assortment of food and the service. But the hotel service is excellent.
