Rooms small, very hot and poorly ventilated. Breakfast very limited. Staff very helpful. ##### James Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Maddison 22 Sept 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Honestly, for the price I paid for this hotel - it was not great. My room looked nothing like the pictures and I was placed on the ground floor in the tiniest room with hardly any natural light. I asked to be moved upstairs and they said that it’s better to stay on the ground floor because the building has no AC and that the heat rises. So just take note of that too. I would recommend the Mornington Kensington Hotel a couple blocks away and right by Earls Court service. ##### Maddison Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 5 Apr 2025 Very clean, good location, check in straightforward and easy, great for a business stay ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul 9 Jun 2025 Great location, nice breakfast, friendly staff. Overall would recommend this hotel, if you are looking for a super location in South Kensington close to the museums and shopping this is the place to stay. On the downside, no AC, even in cooler months higher floors are very poorly ventilated, if you can sleep in 25c no problem ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Daniel 21 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Far too hot in the room, no air con, but the same cost as a hotel with air con. No fridge in the room either. The app has stopped working since the take over from Marriot Bonvoy too?! (maybe a coincidence) Lovely hotel otherwise, clean and friendly staff. ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Borre 8 Oct 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Something should have twigged when the write up said Ground Floor room. It was actually in the basement (yes, you hit B on the elevator to get there). An opaque window at the bottom of a light well is still a basement. I checked the pictures for room layout, and nowhere was there an indication that you could not walk around the bed. You can't. Both ends are jammed against walls. The very small bathroom's layout is not great. Its difficult to turn the shower on before getting into it because as soon as you open the door you flood the bathroom. The bathroom lighting is such, that you face is shaded in the mirror making it difficult to shave, or if female, put your makeup on. I travelled extensively in my last couple of years if work, and basement rooms in hotels is a new one on me... ##### Borre Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marion 6 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I enjoyed my stay at Sonder. The area is really quiet and safe and super close to public transports and restaurants. The rooms are small but it’s enough for one person. ##### Marion Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrian 12 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very kind staff, and great area to stay in ##### Adrian Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graham 1 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great neighbourhood and comfortable This is a great hotel as it is in a very neighbourhood, close to the underground, within walking distance of the South Kensington museums and some nice places to eat. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, had coffee and tea facilities, and a decent bathroom. Breakfast was included, although it is fairly simple buffet, but certainly more than enough. I’d definitely stay here again. ##### Graham Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne Louise Lindecrona 6 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had an excellent 2-night stay @ the Gilbert. Calm, wellblinded room, good bed. It is 5-7 min walk from Gloucester Rd station and shorter to supermarket and pubs/restaurants. Breakfast was sufficient with fresh bread and freshly squeezed oranges. We will definitely recommend. ##### Anne Louise Lindecrona Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ian 1 Jul 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Gilbert Hotel (Sonder) Nice friendly staff. Breakfast was simple but good. Room (512) was tiny. No AC (a small fan provided) over a couple of hot days in London. Shower was adequate but not powerful… probably just as well as the shower cubicle was so small I couldn’t get out of the jet to wash / lather so an ordeal rather than a pleasure. One of the two downlighters was out in the bathroom. Good position close to Gloucester Road tube. Overall if it had been £120 a night I wouldn’t have a problem, but it was £500 for two nights and just not good enough. ![Street scene](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3ae4624a-0c88-4e01-b0b9-734c2dec15ac-1751351171043.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Harrington Gardens ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9d9f1a54-55ac-4116-b570-40706211a635-1751351171277.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ian Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren 22 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean, comfortable and great location. ##### Lauren Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 29 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient hotel in a quiet pleasant area of Londo We didn't need any special help so the fact that everything at the hotel seemed to be 'self-service' was fine. The breakfast room is quite noisy with coffee machine, toaster and juice machine all being used constantly. Not enjoyable if you make the mistake of sitting near the buffet. Otherwise, a great breakfast. Love the location. Close to Gloucester Road tube, a direct bus from our arrival at Marylebone Station. My favourite London district for strolling around. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Percy 28 Sept 2024 Just so so but the location is quite convenient. ##### Percy Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren 19 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Charming and unique rooms, great location.
