Love It!

My second time staying here and it won't be my last. Absolutely love the rooms, the club areas, the location itself, and the hospitality of everyone who works there. It feels upscale and attentive without being stuffy. Super convenient to tourist areas, but also easy to relax in the area and feel at home. Definitely a home-away-from-home for me when I'm in London. The vibe is somehow both hip and unpretentious, and just really makes me feel at home. Can't wait for my next visit!

The hotel is ideally located two blocks from the Glouchester Rd. tube which made our trips around London quite convenient. It's a 10 minute walk from South Kensington. The staff could not have been more helpful from check in to check out. We had a small problem with the air/heat which was expertly taken care of within 30 minutes of our notifying the front desk. Our flat was comfortable and "trendy" but the dark walls and lack of adequate lighting as well as no exterior windows (we had one window which looked onto an interior courtyard) made it a bit gloomy. There was absolutely no good spot for make up application (would bring a lighted make up mirror on any subsequent visits) and my husband had difficulty shaving in the bathroom which also has low lighting. We did not opt for the added breakfast but the dining area was lovely. My husband used the work out area daily and reported it to be a good facility. Would definitely recommend a stay here with the noted provisions.

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.
