I arrived at the Abcone with high expectations. I expected a very sweet place, but instead found it to be a typical shabby London hotel where there is no sense of customer service. First I was told the room was 20A but it was not even written down, and due to the accent I thought he said, "28" so I... more

We stayed for one week in this little peaceful place. The room was big enough for us three, facing a small interior and absolutely no noise from the street. Quite clean exept the spotted carpet and some mold in the bathroom walls. On cloudy weather the room was a bit damp and cold, but got soon warm when the sun... more

I booked the Abcone for it's proximity to the Gloucester Road Tube Station which is 2 blocks away. The hotel it self was clean and quiet. The single rooms are little small but adequate. There is a free minibar which was a nice touch. There is plenty of restaurants and pubs around the tube station. The breakfast was okay and... more

Having seen some of the negative reviews of this hotel on trip advisor before booking I was a little put off but have experienced this before and some of the other places I have stayed in have turned out to be very nice. Unfortunately this was not the case here. Me and my partner booked a double room for one... more

For London standard this hotel is very good especially because of its great position close to a tube station (Gloucester Road), in an excellent district as South Kensington. Rooms and bathrooms are not very roomy but clean and comfortable, always with kettle and coffee/tea supply. Receptionists and breakfast buffet are on average. more

Dodgy has hell! Stayed one night with a colleague last week. Though I got a bargin - £59 for a Delux Double with breakfast booked through the hotels own website. If the trip was any longer than an overnighter, we would have booking into the Holiday Inn across the road. I had enamel taps that were painted white with gloss,... more

I have traveled from NY to London over a dozen times since 1987, all of them for pleasure. My first trip I stayed across the street at what was then called the London Forum Hotel through a BA offer. A very nice, but typical 27 story hotel. Knowing that I would be back in London again, I scouted the area... more

Having stayed at a few hotels over the years gives me the right to complain which I rarely do! This place, however, leaves me no choice. The price cannot justify it 100 pounds a night! No shower curtain, no wash cloth, no shampoo, tiny soap bar, 4 TV stations barely visible, twice woken up by fellow asking about any tea... more

We chose the place based on the description on the hotel website. They clearly had some good marketing people that chose the best aspects to highlight. It looks pleasant enough from the outside, part of a block of typical London town homes (I believe this hotel was originally two homes). Our room was on the second floor facing the back.... more
