Chic Boutique Hotel near Hyde Park, a bar with great cocktails and excellent food downstairs.”
Very cool Place, when I arrived they did not actually have my room ready because of a guest being sick, but I guess that happens. It still is a very cool place

Perfect bday suprise ”
The rolls Royce really convinced me when booking this for my bf bday - he loved it. He absolutely loved it. Breakfast in the room was lovely. bathrooms and bathtub with TV and Hermes toilettrries absolute treats. location is good for most top restaurants in London - do use the complimentary car to get there. Even if it's not there15-20min it's back to the hotel and worth the wait. - all staff made an absolute effort to make our stay amazing. And a special thank you to duty manager Jeff for the help :)

An Oasis in London Metropolis”
A hotel with individuality, the staff were wonderful, always cheerful, very helpful and the chauffeur was a mind of information about London and it's history. Rooms were very tastefully decorated and immaculately clean. All of this in a fabulous location and they brew a cup of tea, second to none.

Great Boutique hotel”
I stayed at the Wellesley for 4 nights in a Executive Room. The hotel is located in a great spot, only 5 minutes walk to the Harrods and other shops or restaurants. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The room is very clean and modern. The ceiling of the guest room is a bit low just because it is an old building. And there is no swimming pool or Gym to work out. But it is an overall good hotel to stay in London.
