I booked this hotel very last minute as it looked gorgeous on the website and I was not disappointed. As soon as you hit the door everyone is helpful and trying to meet your every need. All public areas are stylish but my room was a bit small comparing with the Italian standards. Bathroom was lovely with raindance shower. The... more

London is expensive - so value for money is tough to judge. However, our (twin) room was quite small, but larger than usual for London standards. Price was a little lower than average. Worth noting that the hotel breakfast (when included) is well worth having, not only is it compreensive, fresh and tasty, but also is served until 11:30am at... more

My husband and I stayed at Hotel le Six for six nights in May, and we had such a marvellous time at this charming, modern boutique hotel. The staff was warm and welcoming. The location is amazing, as there are three different metro lines within a couple blocks. We booked on the internet, and the rate we paid was excellent,... more

We had a truly awful night staying here. There is a nightclub in the basement of the hotel and no sound proofing. It was so bad that we were kept awake until 2am when the club closed. Local residents have also complained because of the noise. The earlier reviews on this site do not include comments about noise because the... more

Having travelled all over for work, I had some expectation that a hotel can accept deliveries and convey them to the guest. While I was gone, my bf had arranged for flowers to be delivered, and asked me to check for "messages", which I did on each of the nights I stayed there. On the last night, he told me... more

I was obliged to stay at the Gainsborough several times a year for the last two years, since its sister hotel The Willett closed down, on business trips. I never had any problems with noise, and thought the breakfast, particularly the cooked to order English, was good. The rest of it, however, became increasingly unacceptable. The rooms are small, frequently... more
