Best Hotel in London

This boutique hotel will make you feel part of a fun functional family. I adored the room, and although it was small, it provided plush comfort and luxury touches. The sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi help you wash the day away and I met lovely people while using these facilities. The staff are 10 out of 10 on every level. A fantastic atmosphere.

Great stay for 3 nights

Great staff all round. Nice room although a little cramped - next time I’ll book a larger room. Clean place overall and the room was clean. No problems at all.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel in an excellent location.

This hotel was absolutely worth that extra cost. You get so much for your money. Our room had small kitchen and medium refrigerator with all the cooking supplies. The room was clean and comfortable. Every person there was more than happy to advise you on places to go; if you needed help, they gave it to you; they have a pool and a delicious restaurant on site (tomato soup and the cheese sandwich was so good!); and very well maintained. Most importantly, safe. They are close to shopping and restaurants. Loved this hotel. The hallway carpet is a little mind bending, but it is interesting. Take a photo with the two brass dogs standing guard at the front doors.

Very relaxing stay

Very easy check-in. Friendly staff. Room surpassed needs. Very quiet room despite being in London. We regularly stay in the city and were pleasantly surprised at how peaceful and relaxing it was. Nice pool and facilities, though, can get busy in afternoon. Would have liked robes to go to pool in but changing facilities at spa very good. We went to Royal Albert Hall and the apartment was only 15 minutes walk away. Many local restaurants/cafes and supermarkets to choose from if you self-cater.

Annya, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful stay, lovely staff

The staff were excellent at The Other House. They were very friendly and professional from check in to check out. We enjoyed the pool after a long day of walking. Amenities that I thought were most useful were the pool, kitchenette, and also the free laundry room. It was immensely helpful to be very close to the Gloucester tube station as it comments to both circle/district and picadilly. If I had to nitpick for areas of improvement: the pillows were very flat. Wish we could have opened a window to allow air flow. The lighting isn’t good if you like to or need to put on make up everyday. The towel warmer didn’t work, but we didn’t ask them to fix it, just something we noticed. We don’t use towel warmers normally, so not a big deal. Overall a great stay and would recommend.

We had the most wonderful experience at the Other House. We stayed in London for a week and this South Kensington location was absolutely perfect. The hotel itself was clean and stunning, the staff was incredibly helpful, and we cannot wait to visit again. This location is close to many restaurants and several museums in the area.
