I don't know if they have only one housekeeper but my room was not ready for my check-in and I had to wait until almost 4:30 (check-in was supposed to be 3). At first, I figured they were busy but that clearly was not the case after hanging around waiting. This was on a Monday by the way. Also, they really need to update their phones in the room, the cords don't even reach a manageable distance, literally about 12-16 inches. My trash bin in the bathroom also did not open. The lid was broken and you can seriously just replace one for $5-10. I understand vintage but everything in my room was not very well-maintained.

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.

An okay stay but nothing to set it apart

The Gem Strathmore is constrained by the nature of the building but some better attention to detail could elevate the experience. For example, the picture in our room had slipped out of its surround (and clearly not recently), the cleaner put the contents of the bathroom bin down the toilet (plastic contact lens cases), and wardrobe doors couldn’t open because of the bed. The staff were very pleasant and efficient and the location was excellent.

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!

Beautiful hotel, nicely located and pleasant staff. The beds not comfortable, and we stayed during a warm evening so needed to have windows open and a fan on as no air con. So much noise outside till past 3am from maybe emptying of bins or other maintenance work meant I slept very little so not a comfortable experience.

We booked the Gem Strathmore hoping for boutique charm and comfort. What we got was a tired hotel trading on location, with service levels that would embarrass a budget hostel. We paid extra for early check-in and called ahead, but still waited past noon with a jet-lagged toddler and zero apology. Staff were indifferent throughout — no greeting, no help with bags, not even a bit of sympathy to our situation. The room was sweltering with no AC, just two small desk fans and plugs only on one side of the room. It was basically a sauna with bedding. No fridge, no plug in the bathroom, and no attempt to make up for it - just a stunning absence of basics. The lift, presumably installed during the Edwardian era and never updated since, took ages to arrive. When it did, it was occupied by a staff member with bags of dirty laundry - he didn't even flinch at the sight of a family waiting with a child and luggage. Expedia mentioned babysitting services(for an extra fee). They don’t exist. When asked, staff shrugged. No apology, no explanation, no gesture of goodwill. We left without staying the night - and no one cared. We paid over $500. For that, we expected hospitality. We would have settled for competence. Instead, we got apathy and the privilege of being ignored. They offered nothing — not even a token refund. Avoid. There are far better uses for your money — and your patience. The only thing gem-like about this place is how hard it is, in every way, to enjoy.

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
