Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hotel 41 stay was excellent!

My spouse and I stayed here for one night in mid September 2023. We loved it. We arrived into Heathrow from east coast U.S. at 6:30 a.m. and took the Tube To Victoria Station. From there it was about a 5 minute walk to the Hotel. We had emailed a couple months in advance to ask about an early check-in. We got a quick reply with an offer to leave our bags and relax in the Executive Lounge. Arriving around 1000, we received exactly what we were told. The Executive Lounge was excellent! We enjoyed coffees, ordered greek yoghurts with raspberry compote (delicious) and very soon after our room was ready. The staff at check in and in the Executive Lounge were great. Our room (Junior Suite) right outside the Executive Lounge was top notch. A very large bathroom with both a large shower and a separate large bathtub were welcome after the overnight flight. Our room had a nice sitting area on the entrance floor and the large bed and bathroom were actually up a set of stairs. This added to the roomy feel. The large windows in the sitting area and the skylight in the bedroom both had remote control blinds so we were able to take a nap…appreciated. The location of Hotel 41 afforded us the opportunity to walk through St. James Park as well as Hyde Park to see Buckingham Palace, Westminster Cathedral, Thames River, Kensington Gardens and outside view of Kensington Palace as well as Albert Memorial and outside of Albert Hall. The staff at Hotel 41 arranged for a taxi to Paddington Station (just 2.4 miles but with luggage we opted for transport. We arrived in plenty of tome to catch GWR train to Chipping Camden and the start of our Cotswold Way walk. We definitely enjoyed our Hotel 41 stay and thank the staff.…

Hotel's Favourite

Phenomenal 41

We go to London just to stay at this wonderful hotel. It is simply exceptional. From the moment you arrive you are welcomed and cosseted by the remarkable staff - they are marvellous. Anything you want at any time, they will make happen - as the “anything anytime “ button on your room phone indicates. We were surprised with a room upgrade - an unexpected but wonderful start to our three day stay! 41 is an elegant calm oasis in the hustle and bustle of London. Decor is black and white throughout and all designed for your comfort and ease. The heart of the hotel is the magical Executive Lounge, where the fabulous team make delicious food and drinks appear at all times of the day and night. Nothing beats a welcome from Steve bringing the champagne trolley over as you check in! The breakfast is superb - from the gut health ginger shots to the most delicious hash browns to be found on the planet. From 17:00-19:00 canapés (which change daily) and the insanely delicious and moreish croque monsieurs are served. From 20:00-1:00 the plunder the pantry opens with a hot dish, salads, pate, cheese and desserts are served. And there’s a 24/7 fridge full of Jude ice cream to help yourselves to. And then there are the little gifts and surprises left on your bed when the housekeepers turn down your room each evening. The most exceptional aspect of the hotel are the staff. They greet you by name even if you’ve not met them before. They remember your preferences, they anticipate your needs. They are kind. Their level of service is phenomenal and genuine. We can’t wait for our next visit whenever that may be. Hopefully sooner rather than later.…

Simply the best of the best.

By far the best hotel I have EVER stayed in. The service was second to none. I stay in London often and often treat myself to a superior room or a suite. Their Executive King room trumped anywhere I have ever stayed including exclusive chains like the Baglioni and St Pancras Renaissance. The staff were simply amazing. They made sure to know both my husband and I by name our entire stay. The little touches in the room just went above and beyond. It was truly an experience. Special shout out to Shân who was absolutely lovely.

Unique experience - feels like staying at a friend in his old Englisch home. Highly recommended.

Excellent! Very unique experience. Not your typical hotel with a gracious foyer or reception. Feels more like staying at your friends old English home. Very cozy. Unbelievable friendly, vigilant and helpful staff. Great location. Lots of attractions and restaurants/pubs in walking distance. Hanging out in their executive lounge provides tranquillity and brings you back in time. The same applies to the rooms. Breakfast and drinks are outstanding. They even have a little rooftop terrace with seating and a bar. The only thing, though: I am 6 feet tall and not all of the sitting areas in the beautiful executive lounge are spacious enough to sit comfortably. One bathroom in our room felt more like I have to put it on rather than being able to walk in. Given the otherwise outstanding experience I personally looked at it as a minor issue. After all it’s an old Englisch house and not constructed with nowadays needs in mind which partly contributes to this great and unique experience. It would not keep me from returning for a few romantic days. Clearly a 5 + star experience.…

Room Tip: If you are taller than 6 feet you might feel a little cramped in. Would not be a deterrent for me...

Perfection

Just returned from a 3rd visit to Hotel 41 as was celebrating a big birthday. From the minute you step foot into the downstairs foyer you are treated like royalty. All the staff are so helpful & nothing is too much trouble. I do have to give Connor a special mention here as he was who we all dealt with the most. They arranged canapés & champagne on the roof top bar before we went out. You actually don’t even need to go anywhere as there is always something out for you to eat! We all can’t wait to return & are already planning our next visit.

Wonderful experience.

We loved this hotel. The staff treated us like royalty the moment we walked through the door. Hotel 41 is a boutique hotel with only 28 rooms. The staff’s attention to detail is remarkable. The rooms were nicely appointed and the black and white decor is very attractive . Upon arrival, we were taken to the Executive Lounge where everything happens. Breakfast, tea time and dinner is served in the lounge. Our breakfast was included with our reservation. All other food was complimentary. The only complaint we have is that it was not made clear that the beverages are not included (ie juice, coffee, tea, soda). It was our understanding that only alcoholic beverages were not included. There were four of us present when the amenities were explained. I don’t believe all four of us could have misunderstood this detail. We were surprised when we checked out to see charges for beverages ( they are expensive). Even with the miscommunication, we will still highly recommend Hotel 41.…

Brilliant!

Outstanding service. Excellent location opposite Buckingham Palace. Have stayed twice and will return. It’s the little touches like staff knowing your name that make this hotel stand out. Breakfast was fabulous too.

Service with a capital S!

The service at this hotel is AMAZING! It is in a great location, and the rooms are really nice, but what separates it is the service! From the welcome champagne to the day long snacks, they really could not be any more accommodating. Our stay in London was too short this time but would definitely return to the 41 on a future trip….five stars all the way!

Outstanding Service In an Elegant Boutique Hotel

The most superb experience we've ever had at a 5-star property. Outstanding personalized service, beautiful accommodations, and amazingly attentive staff. We were greeted by name by each staff person, provided super helpful suggestions for day trips and dinner cruise, and made to feel incredibly special. One of the best boutique properties we've ever experienced - and we've been to a lot!

Excellent Experience

We stayed at Hotel 41 for two nights and found the experience to be perfect. From the seemless check in, to the fantastic staff. Our room was extremely well appointed and lacked for no amenities. The Executive Lounge was wonderful, and our breakfasts were top notch.
