Staff very polite and friendly. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The kitchenette was convenient and a great addition. However, the T.V. was completely misplaced—it faced the wall, making it impossible to watch, so I never used it. The hotel was quiet, and it’s within walking distance of Cromwell Hospital, which was very helpful.
Highly recommend The Other House. Beautiful hotel in a perfect location.
Our room was beautiful - a little squishy, but great. The room had a kitchenette which took quite a bit of space, and we didn’t use it. It would be great if you feel like preparing some meals yourself, but we were keen to enjoy the restaurants and pubs in the city.
The breakfast was excellent and well worth adding as an inclusion with your stay.
The location is unbeatable with walking access to some of the main sights in London. It’s a beautiful neighbourhood and we felt safe and comfortable instantly.
I hope we’ll be able to stay again one day soon.
Lovely property and spacious club rooms with good setup with kitchen and fridge/ freezer and kettle and toaster and oven and cutlery and plates and nespresso machine.
South Kensington is a great upmarket area very close to the center
Lovely property in a great location. We stayed in one of the vaults flats with our kids. They loved the bed in the vault. The firedoor to outside wasn’t brilliantly sound proofed to the outdoor noise, but the kids still slept well. The kitchen is very clean and well appointed for its size. Pool is lovely and kept the kids happy between 3-4.30 when it is open for kids.
Very convenient to the tube station and nice to have a little sitting area to relax. Very clean and quiet. Did not really use the club lounge. Bed very comfortable.
It was nice. Very difficult to get ready in the morning with no hairdryer plug in bathroom and no mirror next to an outlet.

Small room, bad bed, reception staff good, waiting staff slow, service slow, food good quality but expensive. The first room we weee given had no windows so we asked to be moved.
Beautiful hotel right down the street from Gloucester Rd tube station. Super safe at all hours. Rooms are gorgeous and we loved the small kitchenette. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in London.
The other house was a great base for us on our London leg of our journey. Loved all the uniqueness of this place. The pool, sauna and steam rooms were a great way to escape the bustle of London. The staff were super attentive and friendly. Only comment for consideration was that our room felt a tad cramped, so perhaps a little less furniture.
