Description
Situated in a quiet street in the heart of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the Cranley is one of London's most charming townhouse hotels. An ideal city centre haven appealing to both business and leisure travellers, the Cranley brings together the best of established tradition and service, and the advantages of most up-to-date expected from a top class hotel of 21st Century.
Furnished with antiques and hand-embroidered linen fabrics, it has an understated elegance and air of sophistication. A number of rooms boast an elegant king-sized 4-poster bed, whilst the majority are furnished with equally dramatic half-tester canopied beds, all dressed with cotton sheets, large square feather pillows and traditional pure woollen blankets. Every room is air-conditioned and has an antique desk or writing table with conveniently placed power and telecommunications sockets giving the business traveller access to two telephone lines with direct dial facility, a modem connection, voicemail and broadband connections. Even the TVs are interactive, providing access to the Internet. Most rooms also have a separate table enabling guests to enjoy room service from the imaginative menu without disturbing their work.
Enjoy the excellent service from the friendly service minded staff. The hotel also offers a welcome glass of sherry or whisky upon check in, complimentary afternoon tea with warm scones and champagne and canapés in the evening. All combine to make a stay at the Cranley memorable.

Returned after 14 years and still loved it!!!
The Cranley was used for a romantic trip in 1994 and I was back this time with my 17 year old son. We loved it. I admit that the first room we received was musty (second floor). I asked right away to switch due to the smell. They could only give us a small room at the bottom for one night with a promise to move us the next day. The one night in the small room was fine. The next day all our things were packed and when we returned at the end of the day we arrived to room 404. Delightful! Great view, large room, clean bathroom and free breakfast and internet. Plus free champagne and snacks at 7pm. The pressed coffee delivered to our door with yogurt and croissants and toast was wonderful. The staff greeted us at the end of the day and was cheery each morning. My favorite little touch: you leave your key with them when you leave and they remember which room you are in upon your return and give you back the big brass old fashioned key. This was an awesome place for an American teenager to experience the English life. Close to the Gloucester Street tube and plenty of restaurants on Gloucester Road for dinner.

Good summer deal
I lived in London in the past and wanted my boyfriend to see what the real British life is like as he had never been to London (nor UK) before.
When browsing on the internet I found the perfect deal for a stay at The Cranley hotel. With their summer promotion: we got a glass of Pimm's and strawberries on arrivel, before being shown to our beautiful room.
We had a wonderful stay and my boyfriend definitely had a "British" experience. By the way, if you can afford it, treat yourself to an Executive room: very pretty, you'll feel like royalty!!

Try the Four Poster Bed!!
Just spent a weekend at The Cranley and loved it!
I got recommended this little gem by the staff at Son Julià in Mallorca (part of same Stein chain) and can't thank them enough. Got a great deal for a Four Poster room through their web and the difference was really worth the money! The bed was amazing, the bathroom well appointed, the room very spacious and the only but was the size of the TV set... Then again, my girlfriend was so glad about that...
We are not big fans of "over the top" luxury, but like to treat ourselves to nice places. Cranley really suited our taste! Thumbs up!

Great Stay at the Cranley
We were transferred to the Cranley after our original hotel was overbooked. We went from a three star to a four star hotel. Because of this, I cannot speak to the costs of the Cranley.
We stayed in a fourth floor double, as some of the tripadvisor reviewers would call it, up in the attic. We found the room to be average in size, with a great view east over South Kensington. The air conditioner (a rarety for a London hotel) worked well, although we really didn't have need for it as the weather was quite mild. There is a limited number of cable channels provided, maybe 10 or so. There was a minibar in the room as well. The bathroom, which had only a shower, was of decent size. The bed was very comfortable. The elevator only goes up to the third floor, but the additional flight of stairs was not troublesome at all.
Breakfast is not included. You can fill out a form and put it outside your door if you'd like to order breakfast and it will be served in your room, as the Cranley has no dining room. The price was 12 pounds (we are not sure if that was per person, or per room) and from the looks of trays sitting outside in the hall, is pretty substantial. Another fee is that internet is available for a cost of 10 pounds per day. The hotel offers free tea in the afternoon and then champagne and hors d oeuvres in the evening.
Probably the greatest asset of the Cranley is its location. It is almost equidistant from three different tube stations (South Kensington, Gloucester Square, and Earl's Courtf) and only blocks away from great shopping and restaurants.

Great London hotel
The Cranley is a boutique hotel in a great location. Our executive king room was spacious and very clean with a beautiful bathroom. The staff is kind and tries to be helpful, there is not real concierge to speak of and room service is just OK, but there are so many good restaurants in walking distance that it did not bother us too much.
