I recently stayed with my husband for our honeymoon at Sydney House. We stayed for 9 nights and had a lovely time. The staff were all so friendly and kind, we loved chatting with them all. Breakfast was a standout - we loved the options. The bed was comfortable, and while space was a little tight this is no different to other London hotels I have stayed in. We definitely agreed we would be back based on this experience!

Clean and ideal with very professional, friendly staff . I stayed one night in order to be near the Brompton hospital as I was having a procedure very early the next day . But I would recommend for longer stays if you want to tour London and need a place to crash at night .

Staff were great and the location was amazing with easy access to the Underground and lots of restaurants. Unfortunately, we felt the property was very small and we found the deluxe room to be below standard. Our opinion is that the rating on the property did not match our experience.

The property served the purpose of our trip.Very clean,comfy bed and reasonably priced for the area.Bathroom was a bit awkward as toilet was very low to the floor and shower couldn’t be adjusted upwards so had to bend down to was hair. Staff friendly and on call 24hrs.Stairways very narrow so if like my wife your claustrophobic I might think about staying somewhere else if also unable to use the very small lifts!!
