Good 2 night stay but not perfect.

Clean and fairly well equipped room. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Bar area lacked atmosphere and disappointing to learn the only outside terraces were specifically for smoking ! Breakfast room very small and guests had to join a “waiting list” if no table was available. Breakfast was good but overly priced in my opinion. Room didn’t work very well for me. Nowhere to plug in the hairdryer and use a mirror at the same time ! Clean and comfy though which was the main thing. Tea bags and coffee pods weren’t replenished and we had to ask for more supplies.

A great experience

The hotel is a boutique hotel. The service is outstanding. The bar is quite small but intimate. The concierge, the drivers, the restaurant staff and the bartenders are all excellent and go out of their way to make sure you're staying is enjoyable.

Wonderful Wellesley

Beautiful hotel with wonderful customer service. Beautiful room with a wonderful view of Hyde Park. Everybody in the hotel was warm and friendly and even gave us rides to places we needed to go. My only complaint is that there is a cigar lounge and the smoke permeates through the hotel. Every day when we came back, we were hit with a cigar aroma. That wasn’t very pleasant. That would be the only drawback I found otherwise wonderful experience.

Highly Recommend!

We had a truly wonderful stay at The Wellesley Knightsbridge in London and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and attentive hotel experience in an exceptional location. The setting in Knightsbridge is perfect—quiet yet central, with easy access to everything London has to offer. Our room was beautifully appointed with incredibly soft linens and towels that smelled divine, excellent amenities, and an overall sense of comfort and elegance. The butler service was a standout, taking care of every detail we needed and ensuring our stay was seamless and relaxing from start to finish. What really made the experience special, however, was the staff. Each day we were welcomed with genuine warmth by the team, who consistently went out of their way to anticipate and meet our needs. Their hospitality added so much to our overall experience and made us feel truly looked after throughout our stay. We would especially like to acknowledge the breakfast team, and in particular an incredible woman from Brazil who led the restaurant service. She brought such warmth, care, and positivity to every morning and truly set the tone for the day. Her presence made a lasting impression on us, and we are very sorry to have forgotten her name, as she deserves full recognition for the difference she made to our stay. The only minor drawback was a noticeable cigar smell in the hotel lobby, which slightly affected that particular area. However, this did not take away from what was otherwise an outstanding experience. Overall, The Wellesley Knightsbridge is a remarkable hotel with exceptional service, beautiful accommodations, and a team that truly cares about its guests. We would not hesitate to return and highly recommend it.
