Blakes is very cool, but it is no longer a 5 star hotel, at least not the two rooms we saw. This is an expensive hotel that claims 5 stars. It is tired. The two rooms we were offered at our price (plenty), were a bit cramped for a couple, and again, tired (e.g. old paint, soiled carpets).

Blakes is beyond its prime. It was one of the first boutique hotels in London around 40 years ago but today it felt as if it was reminiscent of past glory. My first room was extremely small, noisy, and I had to bend me knees in order to fit under the shower. I paid for an upgrade and indeed I was given a very spacious and nice room. The deco however is out of date, the table lights are run down and in general the hotel is not comparable to new top end boutique hotels. The staff was indeed wonderful and very helpful and the restaurant and bar is great and is a happening place

Money was taken from my room and, after informing the hotel, nothing was done to resolve the situation. Also, my bed was more of a day bed and each night I had to call to have it converted to a bed. I would not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel.

On deaf ears!

Not a very good start when you enter your room and there is a welcome card with somebody else’s name on it, together with stale fruit which seems to have sat there for quite some time. Our biggest issue was that the air con was not working, and having a 38 week pregnant wife this was far from ideal. I raised the issue with the porter on two different occasions and front desk, all to no avail. An extremely uncomfortable experience at the height of the summer. Overall a stay to forget!
