We booked through otel.com and after checking-in found to our dismay the smallest room that I have ever stayed in anywhere. It was so bad that the double bed was against 2 walls (I know that London is expensive, but still unbelievable for £160/night). After speaking to the Reception staff, we were offered another room, which was only marginally bigger... More

Stayed here in for a couple of nights at the weekend. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Rooms were clean and well appointed. Location is great for shopping, drinking and dining. Breakfast was alittle expensive but there are lots of alternatives close by to suit every taste. More

I travelled to London for a quick business trip and was looking for a hotel within easy walking distance of my office. The Rathbone was a great, affordable option in a very expensive town. The rooms were large, quiet and quite comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The front desk even assisted me in buying tickets for a hop-on hop-off... More

We stayed here in December and had the most gorgeous suite. The bar is a lovely oasis to return to, in order to avoid the crowds in the bars close to the theatre. Service was good but what really sold the place was the standard of the room. Will definitely return. More

I've just recently stayed for the first time at the Rathbone Hotel as well as the first time visiting London. The room was very accommodating, clean and crisp. Excellent service, fast check in and fast check out. Per England's staple, complimentary tea/coffee and biscuits each morning in your room. Very quiet, check out at noon, unlike some hotels the check... More

We stayed in an executive room which was spacious for being London and in general correct. The only big and incomprehensive mistake was the heating system. Considering it is a cold place in the winter is completely unacceptable to have a heating a/c which doesn't heat at all, because it is more useful for the summer as a cooler. Mainly... More

We were very sorry to read your comments and assure you that guest satisfaction is a priority for us. It is highly disappointing to read anything less than achieving excellence. We have since completed works on replacing our entire air-conditioning system and I believe the room which you occupied was one of our more recent completions. Our new system is... More

Excellent service from all staff, very polite, professional but friendly, nothing too much trouble. I have a medical problem and needed extra pillows. The housekeeper was fantastic, she brought them immediately and was very concerned, asking if I needed anything else. The reception staff were very welcoming and booking in was very smooth. Our room was adequate by London standards.... More

This was a real gem, a really nice friendly hotel in the centre of London near to Oxford Street but tucked into a quiet tranquil corner! The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms and service were of a pretty high standard. Air con/heating was easily adjustable for individual comfort and preference. Roon servicing was really good, with regular... More
