The Rembrandt

Looking A Little Worn

I have stayed at the Rembrandt several times on business and pleasure over the years and its begining to look worn and in need of some tidy up maintenance. Great location & staff. Don't take a car there as the parking garage around the back is being turned into a health club and now there is a 10 minute walk to the closest one.

Excellent Location & Hotel

Great upscale location in South Kensington. Convenient and safe area. Wonderful buffet (incl) breakfast. Most staff were very friendly and helpful. The concierge on our first day/nite seemed put off with our questions and he responded shortly and with minimal information. However, all other staff accomodating and pleasant. We booked a double bed type room but appeared to have gotten a king size type bed/room which was a nice surprise. The restaurant, lobby, bar, and common areas were very modern, classy and comfortable. We would stay there again, and plan to on our next visit.

good quality hotel

the Rembrandt is a nice hotel, across the street from the Victoria and Albert museum. It has the feel of a hotel that fits into the upscale neighborhood of Kensington and just down the street from Harrods.

You get what you pay for

We recently stayed at The Rembrandt for a six day business trip. The expreience was a mixed bag but all in all you get what you pay for. The Room We booked two Executive King Rooms. However, the two rooms were drastically different in appearance and size. One room had a full couch and sitting area. The other was half the size with two chairs crammed between the wall and the bed. All rooms are lit by energy saving, mind numbing florescent bulbs that flicker. Free Hi Speed Internet was a true plus as other hotels charge fees. The bathrooms are strangely large for such small rooms. The rooms have mini versions of everything you would want from bar to ironing board. The Noise Both rooms had scaffolding and construction just outside. As the rooms were on the first floor, the men working were constantly just outside my window. Thus, I kept the blinds drawn at all times. After five days, it was a bit suffocating. Besides hammering, the rooms were very quit. The Staff When I brought the room size discrepancy up with the hotel staff, they curtly informed me that they could do nothing for me. Otherwise, they were transparent. There is no doorman or lobby staff other than reception. The Amenities The hotel bar is large and very nice. The included breakfast is a passable version of a full English Breakfast served buffet style. There is a nice health club next door to the hotel that allows usage for a minimal per-day fee. They have a very nice recreational pool and hot tub. The Neighborhood This is the true perk. South Kensington is beautiful. The hotel is directly across from a stretch of stately museums. There is a very nice Italian Cafe a few doors down that serves an excellent Latte. You can walk to Knightsbridge, Belgravia, and Hyde Park with ease. If your ambitious you can walk to Olympia, SOHO, Westminster and various other Thames destinations. Otherwise, taxis are an arms length away and South Kensington metro station is three blocks away. Groceries, Pubs and Indian food

pricey, but decent

You will pay for location, which is prime. Otherwise, fairly basic: instant coffee and tea on tray in room, generic toiletries, room service was not available to us when we called - had to call back later (even though written as 24 hr), and pay quite a lot for extra movies/internet/telephone calls. Decent afternoon tea available in bar, and breakfast was not bad (though not exceptional, either). The front desk was friendly and available at all hours. Not Texas-sized rooms or extras, but for location, a very decent place to stay. I would definitely recommend it, with the caution that if you are looking for unique or special, you will end up feeling ripped off. On the other hand, we did not use the spa/pool, which might very well have made the bargain seem much more worth it - it looked quite nice, and not every London hotel can boast a pool/spa...

Excellent West End Location

A comfortable and accommodating hotel with a great West End location.

great room for the money

Wasn't the best hotel I have styed but Hotel.com got me the price which can't beat. The staffs are very helpfull and the location is the best (if you go there for shopping).
