酒店房間有點小,不過位置很好,沿馬路的房間略鬧,不過還好,主要是大碼力的摩託車,汽車幾乎沒聲音。周邊有很多小飯館,離海德公園不遠,對面有一個很古老的教堂。

總體還不錯,前台友善。一開始底層床單有血跡,後來送的餅乾缺了一塊,窗户也不能開,有一些意外。

Stayed in room 507 which was in the basement and not only did the room have an awful view of a wall it was it was extremely, extremely noisy from above and outside as well. Our nights were very disruptive. Having raised the complaint to reception we were offered a smaller room the following day go 3pm. Unfortunately this was not convenient as we were attending a family wedding. We were promised an email with recompense but nothing has been received and unfortunately we were very disappointed with our stay at the Melia for the money we paid

Great spot in London for families We stopped over in London for two nights on the way home from our family vacation, and we couldn't have asked for a better spot. Great neighborhood, easy access to the tube and bars, restaurants, shopping and parks. Service was impeccable. Laila (front desk) was very helpful with restaurant recommendations.

This is the most fabulous property. They had it decorated for Wimbledon and gave us strawberries and cream and a Pims upon arrival. The lobby is beautiful, the room was comfortable, clean, and beautiful! Any request we had was promptly granted and the Italian restaurant, “Da Mario,” within walking distance is a must but make a reservation a day or more before. The Indian restaurant next door was wonderful and super fast for take out. The tube is just across the street less than a block. I loved staying here and would stay here again without a second thought. Excellent staff, too!

Melia Hotel is conveniently located just a couple blocks from the subway in the lovely neighborhood of South Kensington. We enjoyed walking to Hyde Park and the History and Science museums. The hotel is a beautiful old building retrofitted with modern amenities and furnishings. The staff was always helpful and quick to assist. The only downsides are the rather small rooms with no closets (just a wardrobe for hanging clothes) and the sound proofing leaves much to be desired. If you’re claustrophobic and/or a light sleeper this might not be the place for you.

MUY MAL SERVICIO A LOS CLIENTES. TENÍA MI RESERVACION, LLEGUÉ AL HOTEL Y NO HICIERON NADA POR DARME LA HABITACIÓN. SOLO ME COBRARON LA NOCHE NUEVAMENTE. TUVE Q PAGAR DOS VECES LA MISMA NOCHE. PÉSIMO SERVICIO. SI PUEDEN BUSXAR UNA MEJOR OPCIÓN MEJOR ALGUNA OTRA EMPRESA QUE SE PREOCUPE POR SUS CLIENTES EN VERDAD Y POR EL SERVICIO.
