Ramsees Hotel

We booked two single rooms in the Hogarth for 2 people. After making the booking, I sent 5 emails to the hotel advising them on my Best Western Gold Crown Club membership number, as I had heard that we might be eligible to a room upgrade. Despite my efforts, the hotel never answered, which did not give a great impression of their service to begin with. Through the travel agent however, we were promised rooms on the top floors, as we were worried about possible noise. My companion arrived in London and at the hotel at midday, but was... more

A beautiful and stately building nestled in the heart of London. One minutes walk from the tube, very convenient but even on the top floor the trains can be heard rumbling away in the depths beneath the hotel. Not a problem though! The reception is small but exquisitely furnished with modern details. There is a lift but its tiny too! The stairs have that old crooked feel to them! The room we stayed in was absolutely teeny weeny but very beautiful and adequate for one nights stay. The furnishings (not that there was room for much!)... more

Found a good deal for this hotel, and after reading fellow travellers´ reviews on this website I decided to give it a try with my friend. Having some bad experiences of London hotels not a part of a sterile chain, Hogarth was actually a positive surprise. Our room was clean save for a weird smell, the bathroom was modern and tidy. The interior was nice with a large LCD TV. The location was comfortable with a short walk from the tube station and supermarkets (there was a fridge you could put the food you bought). We were given the... more

Oh you have got to be kidding!!!!!!!!! How can you charge for this room!????????? The noise from the railway line was horrific and when the trains finally did stop running all you could hear were workmen with pickaxes on the line! You have got to be a serious train fanatic to appreciate the authentic feel that the train actually is thundering through the room every minute. Even now the sound of the underground trains on tracks brings me out in a cold sweat! Apart from that you have to trail across the road whatever the weather to the... more

Hogarth Hotel is Great hotel 200 meters from Earls Court metro station. Rooms are smaller, but same decoration etc. as in Shaftesbury Kensington **** stars hotel. Best rates we found from london premier hotels (--). Its good to know, that on backside of the hotel is railway and it is very noisy (also in G floor). So be shure, that your room is on the front side (Hogarth street side) and not ground floor. Our room was on the 4th floor, fronside, and this was GREAT. People are very friendly and breakfest was excellent! (On the... more

Rooms at the Hoghart are so small that you do not have space to move. Even though it is conveniently located, I think that the price of a double room (USD168) was too high.

All I can determine is that staying at this hotel is either feast or famine - you're either going to be thrilled and pleasantly surprised, or you will hate it. For my part, I had a very nice stay in a good room, and I would definitely stay there again if the need arises. After reading all of the comments, I was dreading the stay, but due to horrible prices in London in early December, I had no choice but to stay here. I come to London monthly, and never have I seen a price spike like I did during early December - prices were up to $700... more

Awful - rude and unhelpful staff, tiny rooms, short beds and a tube line immediately outside. Don't stay here. Beware also - if you book into the Best Western Shaftesbury Kensington they may put you in this hotel.

This review is for the Shaftsbury Hotel (part of the Hogarh Hotel), where the staff made our weeks stay a pleasant and enjoyable experience. There is no hesitation in recommending this hotel, as all round it surpassed expectations. The staff take care and time to look after you. It is often the little things that count and make the difference between a good and bad experience. At the Shaftsbury Hotel they have taken the time and energy to ensure their staff make that difference. As visiting ex residents of London we were in some... more

I'm afraid I would avoid this hotel if possible. I got through 3 rooms in one night, as the first two had broken windows which would not shut and were right next to the train line. Not only is this probably illegal but it let the thundering noise of the trains in. What was most disappointing was that I was informed that this was news to the staff, even though there was actually a sign on one window indicating it was broken - the sign looked pretty worn to me. If you book at this hotel, make sure its a room on the side facing the road... more
