East Dorset District Kid friendly Holidays

I've stayed in several Cleveland Residence properties - this is my 2nd time at the Kensington property - and they are always brilliant. My room was cosy but ideal for me as a single traveller, the kitchen has everything you could ever need, and the bathroom was bright and modern. The shower cubicle itself was a little small but still useable. I loved the air con - ideal for warm-blooded folks like me, and the windows open wide enough to let in a gorgeous breeze. I only had one problem here and that was noise - every night I could hear something that sounded like the people in the rooms above me were rearranging furniture all night. Not sure what was going on, but I had to fall asleep with my headphones in to drown it out. By the third night I had kind of gotten used to it anyway. A great stay, just a tad noisy at night.

Great location and lovely polite and helpful staff

Location, Cleanliness, friendly staff, daily housekeeping services unless not required by guest, excellent breakfast served daily if part of hotel package.

The bed was not comfortable sadly

We normally stay in a well known hotel on the south bank, but thought we would give Vintry & Mercer a try as it is part of SLH. It really is fantastic - rooms are beautifully and tastefully decorated, very thoughtful touches such as a 'extras' bag in the bathrooms with make-up remover and hand cream, a room fridge where the contents are free with coke/fruit juice/real milk for your tea and coffee, the beds were really comfy, the whole hotel is very tasteful and there is a downstairs cocktail/snug bar which is really homely with low lights and serves food and drink I think until 1am - I could keep going. The reception staff were also excellent. We were in London for a show and this one night for our 28th Wedding Anniversary and were glad we stayed here. We will definitely make this our new go-to London Hotel - sorry to say farewell to the well known one on the South Bank.

Clean room, friendly staff, good breakfast, close to everything

Great location and lovely polite and helpful staff

We stayed one night due to Heathrow Airport issues. The staff at night was wonderful and helpful. Morning staff was less so. No lift. Narrow and steep steps, which we anticipated as it is an older hotel. We chose 4th floor as they said it was less noisy. The train noise is prevalent. Very prevalent even on floor 4. No ac and windows only opened a small bit. They did provide a fan which helped. Small room which again we knew about. Nice however small bathroom. Across from a cute park. We needed a place to stay, it was reasonably priced and clean. Would have liked to visit that area, Paddington, but again, we were in and out.
