Excellent location (near the Marble Arch tube and bus station) and walkable to the Oxford street shopping, Maryleborne and much more. Some of the fixtures and furniture could do with some updating or repair. Decent value and comparable to other hotels in the neighborhood. Lots of cafe, coffee, and bakery options that offer better choice and value than the in-house breakfast. AC was appreciated. Towels were changed everyday, though we did not request this. WiFi and streaming services on the TV were a bit hit or miss. Was asked at check-in, if I was willing to cancel the Expedia booking and pay the hotel directly - the representative behind the counter only stopped pushing this after I showed her in the app that the cancellation window had already passed, etc.

Concert trip

It’s the second time that we have stayed at the hotel and it did not disappoint. Swift check in, staff are brilliant and very helpful. Room clean, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast is good. 3 minutes from Marble Arch and Hyde park. I would definitely stay again

A pleasant hotel located close to the metro, right on the edge of a culturally diverse neighborhood. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The furniture in the rooms is quite old, but the atmosphere overall was warm and comfortable.

NOT a 4 Star Hotel

The only reason this hotel is so expensive is the location. The service was good and the room was spacious and well air conditioned but the bed is on the floor which was a bit weird and the shower smelled terrible. They tried to help me scan and send some documents but it didn’t work. The breakfast was only available for 2 hours and it was dried out and so warm downstairs I was afraid the milk/yogurt might be spoiled. No views in the breakfast room. Overall it was not bad since I was mostly just sleeping there but personally I feel it was overpriced.

Great Location!

Amazing location for shopping, parks and easy access to the tube and busses. Only issue was the water was scolding hot when taking a shower.

Location is very convenient. I'd visited the Sumner in the past before the pandemic. The room I was given was adequate, with a decent shower, small fridge and acceptable bed. The room furniture, however, was not in keeping with what I'd previously known; the desk chair in particular was soiled and over-used, the clothes bureau did not close, and the chaise had a tattered blanket draped over it. If you don't need to spend much time in the room, all that could be overlooked, but it was a different feel than I'd previously experienced.

Pleasant stay but needs a bit of attention.

Nice hotel close to the centre, near Oxford Street. Friendly staff, room could have been doing with a bit of attention, broken and loose floor tiles in the bathroom, residents next door arguing in the early hours of the morning, although that wasn't the Hotels fault. Pleasant stay but needs a bit of attention.
