    minor inconvenience

    i recently stayed here and was delighted by how much it surpassed my previous experiences in london. the location was perfect, just a short walk to the natural history museum and the tube. additionally, the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout my four-night stay.

    underfloor heating
    spacious wardrobe

    The underfloor heating in the bathroom felt amazing, and the room was super spacious with plenty of wardrobe space.

    the shower head was a bit low for taller folks.

    limited seating

    I absolutely loved the vintage decor, creating a cozy atmosphere throughout Gainsborough Hotel, complemented by its easy access to transport links. The staff were attentive, assisting with any requests and making my stay comfortable.

    Great Value Near Attractions

    Our group enjoyed a comfortable stay for three nights, with the added convenience of nearby cafes and restaurants. The ground floor double room was spacious, and despite the minor issue with the en-suite basin, we found the place to be very clean. Explore local eateries for breakfast!

    A Wonderful Retreat in the Heart of London!

    Had a fantastic one-night stay enjoying the peaceful ambiance and comfortable bed. The continental breakfast exceeded my expectations with fresh pastries and fruits. Don't miss the late-night drinks across the street—it was a delightful bonus to our evening.

    comfy beds
    netflix option
    slow elevators

    Perfect spot for family fun!

    We had such a fantastic stay here! The staff was super friendly, especially Ionut, who made everything smooth for us. The room had great amenities, including Netflix – shoutout to Liviu for that tip! Oh, and the breakfast options were delicious. Just wish the elevators were a bit quicker. it took some time during busy hours.
