“Outstanding service and a hidden gem.”

Searcy's was simply the best service I've received in any hotel. From arranging Wireless access to booking a room for the following week, the manager and staff go above and beyond others I have stayed - and I've stayed in some great places. The tooms themselves are comfortable, spacious and a real gem for this area of London.

My room was a double which was spacious with a large bathroom (which is probably ready for a tidy up but this is very minor).

My college stayed in a slightly smaller, but still very comfortable double room which had obviously been recently redecorated and was spotless with a large flatscreen tv.

Excellent all around.

4/5 found this review helpful

We visited this hotel last weekend, just for the one night.

Based on the images on their website, and other travellers' comments, I was expecting something refreshingly out of the norm. Unfortunately, we did not get given one of the charming rooms shown on their website, but a rather ordinary and somewhat run-down bedroom (no. 15). Battered magnolia paintwork, one very lacklustre picture on the wall, a duvet cover which was just not big enough for the (admittedly massive) bed, dated brass lighting fixtures, mildewed window frames, cracked washbasin...

I've probably stayed in worse places, but this was all just rather tired and depressing. I'm afraid that, for me, the handy location did not make up for the drab room.

Whilst we paid a lower rate by booking late through another website, it still did not feel like good value. Maybe they need to price the rooms according to the level of decor - it would seem that some are definitely better than others.

Dear Madam,

Thank you for your review.

I must agree with everything that you have written, and I have used your review to secure funding from my company to completely refurbish room 15.

The room has been completely refurbished as a result: Here is a list of everything done which I hope addresses all of your concerns:

The room has been completed repainted.
There are 3 new pictures on the walls to replace the one that has been hanging there.
There is a new King Sized Duvet cover to replace the old one
The brass light fittings have been replaced for newer elegant ones.
The window frames have been replaced and repainted.
The washbasin and the shower fittings have been changed.
I have also installed a new wall mounted 32inch flat screen TV with digital channels.

I understand your frustrations completely and prior to refurbishment room 15 was definitely my worst bedroom. Hence I have always tried to allocate it to new guests paying a lower rate rather the put any of my regular and / or returning clients there.

I hope I have managed to address all of your concerns and I hope to welcome you back to demonstrate first hand the improvements that I have made.

Once again thank you for your review.

Regards,

Dimitrios Neofitidis

3/3 found this review helpful

We found this hotel by chance and after reading the reviews on here decided to book, we were not disappointed. I found it quite difficult to find ,but this was probably due to my lack of ability in map reading, as we were sent a good map and details of how to find the hotel after we had confirmed our booking.
We stayed in room 10 and found it quite charming. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was good. It is quite a strange entrance to the hotel but you are met by a member of staff and taken to your room.
The location is very good for this part of London. We went to the Boxwood cafe for dinner and it was a short walk away. We would definitely stay here again.

I booked this room after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor and wasn't disappointed. The staff were fabulous - friendly and accomodating. We couldn't have asked for a better position in London. A quick walk to Harrods, which is where we wanted to be. Price wise the rate was extremely reasonable -140 pounds incl VAT (for Knightsbridge)and breakfast. Breakfast served in the room was superb! The only downside was that the decor was a little tired looking and the room was tiny.

“What a gem!”

4/4 found this review helpful

This little hotel is an absolute gem! It is in a perfect location. The rooms are spacious, very clean and attractive. The breakfast is delicious, and always served at your request. The best thing about the hotel is the incredibly efficient, kind and cheerful staff. They answered our many questions with ease, ordered cabs for us, let us use their computer, and were just very gracious hosts. i wanted to bring them all home with me! I would definitely recommend this hotel with no hesitation at all.
