Very stylish but comfortable hotel and room. Absolutely no noise from outside or within the hotel. Extra supplies for the room were delivered quickly when requested.
Gillian, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Sarish, 6-night trip

4/10 Fair

The rooms were so dark (dark brown walls) and the lighting was “imbalanced” (my partner is an electrical contractor and he noticed it as well) that you could barely see yourself in a mirror. I know it sounds fussy, but we are very casual people and this was notable. One positive is that the breakfast was fantastic. And the staff, both housekeeping and front desk were really terrific. But there was really nothing anyone can do about the interior of the rooms so we did not mention it.
