Good location for this little gem on the Piccadilly Line. Busy area but the hotel was quiet. Our room was very small but nice & the staff was lovely. Nice sized bathroom. Children seemed to be enjoying the science tea with dry ice! I can’t recommend the dining room since we only had snacks that weren’t very good but the cocktails hit the spot.

The Ampersand is a lovely hotel in a fabulous neighborhood with the convenience of the tube, shopping, museums, and restaurants right at your doorstep. I liked this hotel for its charm and because it doesn't feel like a chain hotel. The rooms were quiet at night, the temperature is adjustable, the bed was very comfortable, the shower had excellent water pressure, and the towels were plush. Overall, a wonderful stay and a hotel I would highly recommend.
