We stayed at this hotel during a recent trip to London and Paris. We chose the hotel based on reviews here and the fact that it is not a cookie cutter chain hotel. If you are looking for sleek go elsewhere. The hotel has the authentic ambiance of an old line British hotel. Our room was small by Midwest US... more

Intrusive doormen who always know where you are headed. Ridiculous huge keys which are cumbersome. Room size not bad but somehow I just never got comfortable with it's fussiness. more

My husband and I chose this hotel after reading that it was one of the few, independently owned British hotels left in London. We did not want a large, overdone chain hotel because we wanted to experience English charm. Durrants Hotel delivered. Even our friends, who are British, commented on what a lovely place it was.We did not find the... more

It has a magnificent bar with wood pannelling and a comfortable breakfast room/restaurant with white table clothes and beautiful heavy silver plated cutlery and proper toast racks. Breakfast is wonderful and is served directly at your table (no buffet). You can have stewed prunes,... more

I spent two weeks in Durrants in early June, recovering after an op before travelling on. The staff looked after me very well and made me feel very at home. They were professional, discreet and caring. You could see that so much 'behind the scenes' care had been taken with the furnishings, decor, ambiance and attention to service. It was... more

Durrants is great hotel, family owned and it shows. We have stayed a number of times and the second occasion all the staff recognised us by name. They also remembered our room preferences and had organised everything. It is a true London hotel with morning tea brought with the papers and freshly cooked breakfast in the restaurant served at your... more

Durrant should be lovely. Good location, handy, quaint. It wasn't. My toast at breakfast had actual mould growing on it. When I reported it they said "oh, sorry". No action, no appalled horror, nothing. Breakfast was generally not great, but then the sight of mouldy bread on your table does put you off. We had to change room because our... more
