I loved staying at Sydney House Chelsea. Obviously one cannot compare it to any 5 star hotel but at the end of the day, it made me feel like I was going home to my own bedroom. The hotel is located in a quiet and quite posh neighborhood that is a 5 minute walk from South Kensington tube station and... More

The first thing you need to know is that the location is perfect - between the Kings Road and Fulham Road, 5 mins walk from South Kensington Tube, 10 minutes walk from Knightsbridge, and well surrounded with restaurants. It is 2 converted town houses, so is tall and thin, and features the worlds smallest lift (2 people only if you... More

Stayed 1 night. Location is convenient for South Kensington / Chelsea. Although room (14) wasn't big, it was more than sufficient, being very comfortable & well furnished with quality bedding. It was at the back of the hotel so was very quiet. Bathroom modern & pleasant though small - personally I would have preferred a "walk in shower" arrangement rather... More

My husband and I stayed at this delightful hotel the weekend before Christmas. It was so peaceful yet well positioned for wandering around this lovely part of London. Although small, the rooms were very well appointed and tastefully decorated. The staff were very helpful.

Although we live in the same borough we wanted to have a city break vibe to celebrate our anniversary in October without the hassle of travelling. The location is perfect, just far enough away from bussling Kings Rd but close enough for a stroll to shops and restaurants.

A small hotel (guest house) with very few querks or complaints, for those who want to come & go as if it was home. Super-comfortable beds, always clean, fresh rooms with efficient staff (24 hrs) who over the years have done their best to remain friendly but never casual. (Breakfast in bed is highly recommended.)
