Knightsbridge Green Hotel

We arrived at this property for a three-night stay on the tail end of a UK vacation. There is construction and one-way streets around the hotel, so we had some difficulty locating it. There was no parking lot associated with the hotel that we could find. We returned the car to Hertz after dropping off the bags (we parked in a no-parking zone for 30 minutes or so).

The front desk called us by name as we were the last guests arriving for the day (mid-day arrival...people must check in early there). The front desk staff was efficient, but not too friendly.

Our rate was approximately GBP150/night, which we thought was pretty good for the location and time of year. We were given a room on the 5th floor. It was pretty shabby, and quite different from the photos on the website. It also had two twin beds They have some remodeled rooms, and some dated rooms. We asked to move, and we got a different room that was completely different -- and much more comfortable (plus it had a king bed).

The room fixtures and furniture are okay. The bed was very low to the ground. The air conditioning unit worked very well and was quiet.

In the evening, the owner's son worked the front desk. He was quite pleasant. The Internet service was out for 2/3 of the days, but eventually fixed. Free wifi.

There is no restaurant (although why would you eat in a hotel restaurant in the land of the best Indian food in the world -- perhaps better than India).

The location is great if you want to spend time in Knightsbridge, but expect to walk a bit to the tube if you want to go elsewhere. The location is very close to the Mandarin Oriental, and really great high-end shopping.

I'm not sure if I'd stay here again -- but it's definitely good value.

My husband and I stayed at the Knightsbridge Green hotel in late March/early April 2006. I booked a "suite" because we were to be there for 9 nights. The extra sitting room made a huge difference in comfort for that long a time, and we were able to have this space for a quite reasonable amount of money. My goal was to book a room for not more than US$250. and I was able to here. Actually the sofa in the sitting room pulled out to a sofa bed, so more than two could stay in this room.

The hotel is in a super location; a two minute walk to the Piccadilly line, bus route right outside the door, walking distance to the Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, etc. and many restaurants. Also across from Hyde Park.

The room was quite comfortable; bed was great, tv was in the sitting room, (I like this) bathroom good size, shower great, towels fluffy (bathrooms are very important to me) People working at the hotel were quite helpful, they stored our luggage for two days when we left to tour around, and booked us a reasonably priced cab to the airport when we had to leave. We took the tube to the hotel when we arrived in London; a very easy ride.

We enjoyed staying here and would again.

This is an hotel with a difference. The staff are friendly and helpful, and very professional. The hotel itself is unpretentious, as reported in several previous reviews, but it has a charm of its own. The room I had was extremely comfortable. It was at the front but I wasn't bothered by the traffic noise. Where it really scores is on value, in a town which is about as expensive as a traveler can find. Breakfast is only available in your room as there is no restaurant. In my case it was delivered right on the time I requested. The location is fantastic.
