Reviews

8/10 Good

Hotel, staff, location, facilities all excellent. Super comfy bed. Only downside was our room location, in the basement (not an issue in itself), but next to the external door / laundry room for the cleaners so we were disturbed early morning.
Eleanor, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great property, nice rooms - in the recent heatwave, AC would have been a great addition, but fans were placed in room for comfort.
Adrian, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location. Sore from the bed.
Terry, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Ivan, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Staff were very friendly. Room a bit tired but a good size. The rooms are probably in need of an upgrade but appreciate that this is an expensive exercise. Breakfast was good. Lots of choice.
Jane, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had an amazing stay in London and your hotel was wonderful and very accommodating

Tony, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

We enjoyed our stay at Gem Strathmore. The location is perfect. A short walk to dining options, the Gloucester Tube station and museums. The staff was very pleasant and the facilities were clean.
Cheryl, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel staff were superb. We were offered an upgrade which was very nice. The room was very clean and beautifully furnished. The breakfast was hot and plentiful. Well done to everyone. Thank you. I would stay again anytime.
Valerie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Customer Service was OUTSTANDING. Just need A/C for those hot days
Christian, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

It’s an OK hotel with very good location . As it is an old building , rooms are spacious but , rather hot ( no AC) Easy to book . We asked for early check in and late check out and paid fair price for it all. Would consider staying again
VALERIA, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Staff and the property in general were excellent; however, it perpetuates the myth that a solo traveller is OK with a room the size of a cupboard and everything squashed in. The room needed a bit of TLC, with the desk and cupboard in need of repair/replacement. Would class the hotel as 3* rather than 4* but still a decent stay.
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff were stellar. I rate this place as top notch for me.

Steve, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic—just two blocks from the tube, which made getting around the city super easy. There are also several amazing free museums nearby, perfect for exploring without spending a fortune. The surrounding area has plenty of great food options, from casual bites to sit-down meals, so you’re never short on choices. The customer service was excellent—staff were always friendly, helpful, and attentive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. One thing to note is that the rooms don’t have air conditioning. It wasn’t a big issue during my stay, but it’s something to keep in mind, especially during warmer months. Overall, I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the city!
Viviana, 8-night trip

Reegan, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Used toiletries in the bathrooms. Uncomfortable beds. Only 2 outlets in the rooms (by the door at that- not even next to the beds) and the breakfast that they have you pay for is subpar. I've had better breakfasts at cheap chain hotels. Mugs were also dirty in the room. It is a pretty building though
Kaitlyn, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Great location. Helpful reception staff. Outdated and very slow lift. Bedroom clean and had tea/coffee facilities. Unfortunately on the hottest day of the year the lack of air conditioning was an issue. A fan was provided which on normal weather conditions would have been enough. It was cooler outside!
Alexandra, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

This hotel is in a great position but has seen better days. We were there in June and it was hot. There was no air conditioning, just a rather tired fan. The staff were helpful but overall I felt the rates charged weren’t justified.
Clare, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Staff happy to help and accommodate.
Rhian, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely fantastic stay. The staff could not do enough for us. After I mentioned it was the end of his SATS week, they upgraded us and made his and my entire year. They were kind and thoughtful and so friendly. Best hotel I’ve stayed in in London! Room was lovely and bed comfy. Decor lovely too.
