Latest 5 reviews of The Sumner Hotel
The Sumner delivers on it's promise of comfort and service.
Our recent eight night stay at the Sumner proved to everything we were looking for in a boutique hotel in London. Great location, quiet, comfortable and clean room with all the amenities. Helpful courteous staff and a breakfast buffet that gave us a good start to the day. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this gem of a hotel with it's close location to Marble Arch.
Spotless, great location, needs a couple of tweaks
Having previously booked at the Sumner in 2008 and being shifted to their sister hotel (Montagu Place, which by the way is also very good), my wife and I were looking forward to the weekend.
The hotel generally met expectations, with a couple of specifics that would benefit from a bit of thought.
Positives - spotless, finished to a high standard, very comfy bed, great location, and at £135 per night for the weekend, a reasonable price to pay
Negatives - only a couple, but detracted from a perfect stay.
Firstly, the breakfast room is below floor level and slightly cramped. Hot and cold food is self service, but because the breakfast hours are 8am to 9.30am, everyone landed on breakfast at 9.15am and it was a bit of a melee. It would have been smoother if the cold food had been self-service, and the hot food had been ordered at the table.
Secondly, check-out on the Sunday was fairly early at 11am, but still the cleaning staff started their work before 10am. After a late night, it was disappointing to be woken up by the chatter of the maids to each other, and the vacuum cleaner on the stairs. Could they not have waited till 11am when everyone would have checked out?
Thirdly, the windows were single-glazed, and as a result the hotel suffers slightly because of its location. Traffic and early morning risers wouldn't have been audible with double glazing.
Overall, we had a good time, and with a couple of tweaks, it would have been close-on perfect. I hope the hotel reads this review and considers the suggestions.
Quiet and Pleasant
I arrived at The Sumner for a 5-night stay after acquiring a terrible cold in Dublin. I was relieved to walk into a quiet, elegant townhome that felt like an upscale residence. There is a small lift to help with luggage, but no bellman. My room was located on the 3rd floor, and there was a flight of stairs inaccessible by the lift up which I had to haul my rather large suitcase. The room was a decent size and outfitted with simplistic, functional furniture. The ceilings are tall which helps the smaller scale. I had everything I needed in the space, including free tea service served both in the room and in the lounge upon my request. If you're looking for a private, small property, The Sumner is a sure bet.
Would be the first place id try to book on a return trip to London
We stayed 4 nights in late September in this small boutique hotel and found it exceeded our expectations .The rooms were generous in size ,the beds very comfortable and the cleanliness of the whole place excellent .It is in a quiete location yet very handy to Marble Arch station ,the bus stops ,Hyde Park and Oxford St .The showers are a little tight which didnt bother us but may for big people.
The staff are very accomodating ie helpful and friendly.The breakfasts for a small hotel are everything youd want .
We have already recommended this hotel to others .
Oasis of calm in bustling London
Cdn. couple recently stayed at The Sumner for ten days....we
were happy to return to our lovely calm room after days spent
in the buzz of London. Bed was probably the most comfortable hotel bed we've slept in. Service was quietly efficient...Bathroom although small....was immaculate, well appointed and warm.....Our only
quibble was no coffee maker in the room for 'time-zoned early risers'...up before the yummy breakfast was ready......We will return.
