Took a trip with my mom and we absolutely loved this stay! The Drey is located in the perfect spot, where it's not touristy at all. The room had everything we needed, we were obsessed with how nice everything smelled. Would come back here again and recommend it to anyone.

The property was lovely and well maintained in a beautiful building. The staff were very professional and helpful and I was able to unexpectedly have an early check in. My room was very clean and attended to daily. Very modern and well set up room with an incredibly comfortable bed, air conditioning and enclosed shower. Also the hotel had a lift which was essential as I was on a higher floor. I will absolutely stay at the Drey again and am looking forward to my next visit!!

The hotel is very close to Earl Court station, restaurants and grocery store. The staff is very friendly, special thanks to Caneho for her outstanding customer service. I got lost in the neighborhood because my GPS kept sent me to street over. After I called the hotel and talked to Caneho, I gave her the address I was on. She walked to where I was and we walked together to the hotel. Thank you kindly, Caneho!

It was attractively modern and clean and in a great location. The front desk help was great. The air conditioning was very good too. However, the room should have had a least one chair and a small or a fold-down table, a phone to call the front desk, instructions for the safe, and an additional outlet.

This is a beautiful hotel, helpful people, clean, and in an excellent location for visiting London. We stayed in the snug, which is appropriately named as there is no place to open your suitcase. You literally walk in and you have a bathroom to the right and pretty much about a few steps and your at the bed. Ido not recommended this particular room. I do recommend the hotel.

Nice location, walking distance to Earl's court tube station and many places to eat. It took approx 25 mins by tube to go to Oxford street or any main touristy places. Area is calm and peaceful. Beds were comfortable, property had lift, water/Ice dispenser, air conditioning etc. The staff was incredible. We enjoyed our stay.
