Amazing boutique hotel in London

10.0

This is my second short stay at the Wellesley. It’s all the small things that make this boutique hotel so amazing—from usage of the house vehicle to the butler service and the extra plushy room slippers, there is nothing small or large that is overlooked. I will be back every single trip to London. The location is convenient to shopping, as well as ease of access to LHR. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wanted to attend Wimbledon for a few days and do some London sightseeing - such a perfect location. Wonderful service and rooms. Super concierge service set up many activities and restaurants ahead of time. Walked to many attractions. Hope to go back!

Good 2 night stay but not perfect.

6.0

Clean and fairly well equipped room. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Bar area lacked atmosphere and disappointing to learn the only outside terraces were specifically for smoking ! Breakfast room very small and guests had to join a “waiting list” if no table was available. Breakfast was good but overly priced in my opinion. Room didn’t work very well for me. Nowhere to plug in the hairdryer and use a mirror at the same time ! Clean and comfy though which was the main thing. Tea bags and coffee pods weren’t replenished and we had to ask for more supplies.
