We stayed here for a couple of nights in September with friends and really enjoyed it. The Pelham is a traditional boutique hotel (inside and out). We stayed in a deluxe double, which was a good size at the back of the hotel. The decor was lovely (quite traditional, but not old fashioned), our bathroom was large and very nicely... more

Our room looked straight out on the dome of the V&A and across wonderfully active S. Kensington Square (this tube stop gets you any and everywhere in London). It seems that French is more the native language in this unpretentious neighborhood because of the Lycee just around the corner. If you want pretentiousness, not to worry, it starts about two... more

My decision to spend two nights at The Pelham over my usual London base was a good one as I found the hotel to be amongst the best accomodation I have experienced in a long time. The location was excellent, just opposite the South Kensington Underground station, although the closure of the Circle/District lines during my stay was a minor... more

What I liked were the beautiful rooms with their traditional style and the very friendly people there. It's easy to get to and from the hotel with an underground station (South Kensington), bus and taxi stops next to it. There are also a lot of restaurants and shops in a walking distance. Due to the old windows there's sometimes some... more

This is our second trip to the Pelham,and on that difficult return trip, it lived up to our expectations. The staff are courteous and efficient. The rooms are beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. The Pelham knocks spots off the big chains. It has character without being over the top. It is in a wonderful location and the room service breakfast... more

We didn't have a great start to our stay here. The room they chose for us had a broken a/c unit. They offered to switch us to a room that sounded like the elevator was traveling directly through it. Someone else on this site gave a more in depth review of that ridiculous room. We stuck with no a/c, but... more

This was a lovely boutique hotel. The staff were friendly and the rooms truly gorgeous and spacious, especially for London. I stayed in three different rooms during my stay... two of which were grand and beautiful and one which was just nice... all in my quest to find a quiet room. This is the downfall of the Pelham. While it... more

Really lovely hotel and the service good. Great location with the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum a 5 min walk away. Lots of restaurants and cafe's around the area too. Only one fault and that was the room we were in that we had to be moved from on the second night. Room 401 was right next to... more

In summary: I’d rank this hotel ‘off the scale’ and at '5 plus'. The service was wonderful, the décor in the hotel and the room were lovely – stylish, comfortable and fitting for the place – and the hotel and room were very clean and well maintained, the bed was great, and the continental breakfast was excellent. This hotel is... more
