Draycott Hotel

A wonderfull townhouse hotel with an excellent location on a quiet street a block and a half off Sloan Square. Excellent and attentive service, complimentary tea in the afternoon, champagne in the evening. (Breakfast not included and a bit dear.) This is one of those places one hopes to see again.

Booked in for two nights alone by my husband, I was expecting a small but comfy single room, but was delighted to be upgraded to a double at no extra cost (to him!). A splendid experience - dinner in my room after a hectic day was a real treat. There is absolutely no need to go out to dine if the day has got the better of you, but great options abound all around if you still feel the need to explore. This is a home from home and I will look forward to the three day shopping trip in January my husband has promised me! The good... more

The Draycott Hotel is a warm, charming home-like place to stay with exceptional service. If you wish to quietly fit into a charming neighborhood close to excellent shopping and interesting nightlife, the Draycott is in a perfect location.

This is the kind of hotel that comes to mind when you think of English charm and good breeding. Situated in a quiet section of Sloane Square, it was the perfect location for shopping and tube-hopping. The staff was wonderful, but it could have been a bit more helpful if some of them were more fluent in English. We had a couple of miscommunications, but nothing critical. The room was the nicest that I've stayed in in Europe. Roomy with a sitting area and fireplace overlooking the gardens in the rear. However, the accommodations... more

A gentle nudge in the direction of the Draycott by The Times review section was all that was required. Travelling alone, I stayed in Barry, one of the two single rooms. As The Times article had said, the rooms would be full of character and indeed it was. Tucked up in the attic with an abundance of home comforts (including a cuddly teddy bear!) with inspiration galore from the memorabilia. Yes, it was tiny, but does that matter at that this price and in an hotel of this class? "Quiet as a tomb," another reviewer said. If I push up... more

We were looking for a small hotel with an intimate atmosphere to celebrate our 30th anniversary in London. The Draycott met & exceeded all our expectations. The discreet location just off Sloane Square is perfect for walking through Knightsbridge, Chelsea & Kensington, with their beautiful old residences, elegant shops & excellent restaurants. The underground is a short walk away, making all of London easily accessible. The rooms & suites at the Draycott are luxurious & individually decorated. There is a pretty little garden at the back... more

We arrived at the Draycott after being dissatisfied with the hotel we planned to stay at and were treated so well by the staff there I was sorry I didn't book this hotel originally! We stayed in "Grenfell" (rooms have names not numbers) which is a deluxe double overlooking the gardens. The room looks like the photo on the hotel's web site (although the furniture is in need of replacement as the couch was saggy). The hotel is very quiet and well managed and charming. The hotel is very close to Sloane Square and is in a very nice... more

Returning very late and very tired from an event at Kensington Palace I was greeted by an incredibly gracious late night doorman who carried all my bags to the room , selected an appropraite music channel and then filled out my breakfast card to "save me the worry" and took away with him - fantastic. Breakfast was spot on time and I left feeling far far more refreshed than I deserved to be ! I can't wait to return

I booked a weekend at the Draycott Hotel as a special birthday treat for my boyfriend and I have to say that it was indeed very special. This hotel is in a lovely, quiet location in London's most exclusive area of Knightsbridge. Our suite was exquisite, so cosy and luxurious, beautifully furnished and the bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept in. The service is impeccable and the feel of the Draycott is that of a beautiful country home rather than of a central London hotel. In the morning we enjoyed a most sumptuous... more

A very nice short business stay at the Draycott inside one of the peculiar single rooms. The bed was pushed inside a wall opening, but large enough to accomodate me. The rest was simply splendid, everything was arranged correctly and there was even time to admire the care which was taken to make a true hotel room for the business traveller out of the possibilities. Missing was a good internet access, but that was not a big problem. All the other reviews on this site can mostly be taken as true.
