Durley House - London, United Kingdom 

Fantastic service but a tired "gem" in the West End

We were looking for a London hotel and booked Durley House via Lastminute.com as it had a nice description and was an excellent price for its prime location. Check in was excellent with fantasticaly helpful and friendly staff who sped us through the process and whisked us up to our room. We had booked a one bedroom suite / appartment (they are all suites / appartments but some have 2 bedrooms). The room itself was very clean and comfortable although a little "tired" in its decoration. Very large and comfortable bed! My only complaint would be the poor water pressure for the shower. We ate in our room and must compliment the hotel on its food. It was excellent. The wine is very resonably priced. Food orders are sent to the room via a dumb waiter and then served by a member of the hotel staff. I would throughly recommend Durley House. The service is outstanding and the location is excellent. If they redecorated this would be a truley outstanding place to stay in London.

My family (two adults + two girls aged 6 & 3) stayed in this hotel in October 2007. We stayed in a "two bedroom luxury apartment" for four nights in October. It was a special trip as we were celebrating a milestone birthday for my wife, and as such we upped our normal budget to stay in this hotel. We were very satisfied with all aspects of our stay. The staff were very friendly and professional,- special mention must go to Lenny and Michelle. The standard of accomodation was perfect for our needs, particularly having the use of a kitchen, which when you have small children was very useful for preparing breakfasts,snacks etc., We used room service on the day of our arrival, and we were very happy with the standard and choice, and also the use of the "dumb waiter" was a thrill for our young kids. The location is very good, in a very exclusive area of London, and the tupe station in Sloane Square is a short stroll away. I can't comment on the Breakfast as we didn't try it.
