A friend recommended The Pelham to us, and although it was a bit pricey, we decided to give it a try. I'm so glad we did; the hotel far exceeded expectations. The staff were genuinely helpful, the room was luxurious and extremely quiet and the food was fantastic. And the Pelham is very conveniently located just across from a Tube... More

Some years ago, when our daughter lived in South Kensington, we stayed several times at The Pelham. We returned after more than 10 years (and apparently a change in ownership) and it was much the same - convenient, reasonably priced (by London standards), comfortable if smallish rooms, etc., but not quite what we remember, although I can't state why.

The Pelham is an elegant hotel situated in one of the more prestigious neighborhoods of London. Directly across from the South Kensington Tube stops, it is a luxurious retreat which possesses all of the amenities one would expect from a five star property without any pretense. The common rooms are inviting and comfortable. .An honor bar is located in the... More

Stayed many times at the Pelham hotel. Room very small but forgivable as the building is an old English style building and everything is so tastefully done. Very elegant and beds very comfortable! Friendly little Orel and really like the two little sitting rooms on ground level. One of them has an open loyalty bar, meaning you serve yourself what... More

The rooms were on the small side, but a nice location and great quality of fittings and equipment. Good food and great staff. The concierge is worth his weight in gold! He has an answer to everything, and comes with the answer instantly and he is always available. Remember to give him a good tip, as you would find yourself... More

The Pelham has a great location because it is across the street from the South Kensington station. The neighborhood is very safe. It has very comfortable and quiet rooms. The staff are very attentive, polite and friendly. Just a charming small hotel! It is maybe a five minute walk to the Museum of Natural History and the Victoria and Albert... More

The smell of fresh flowers and prompt, courteous service were a welcome and refreshing treat as my family and I entered the Pelham’s reception area. Our bags were whisked away immediately to our room, which was ready even though it was only morning. After a long trip, we were grateful for the kind staff—and grateful that the metro was only...

Excellently situated for the Royal Albert Hall (walking distance). Very nice, polite and attentive staff, from the doorman who greeted us, by name (and we hadn't been before) as we exited the taxi, the reception staff to the waitresses who served afternoon tea (recommended) and breakfast in the room (expensive). The room was pleasant but small and the double bed... More

My wife and I were looking for a very nice, comfortable hotel to stay for our first trip to London. We wanted a hotel that was fairly small, with good staff that added a personal touch, and in a perfect location. If you are also looking for these features, search no longer!

Small, clean, well appointed, courteous staff, well located, good breakfast, small gym, quiet library, honor bar, elegant all around. Good for either a "couple's get away" or a business trip. Will definitely stay there next time I am in London.
