Top choice

I stay here when I travel to London for work. It's much better than the other chains. It's full of character and tends to be quieter. Staff are friendly. Rooms are clean and comfortable, if a little on the small side. It's my go-to hotel and I've not been let down yet.

Fine for the price

Great location for SW london. Staff quick and helpful at check in. Didn’t bother with breakfast £19.50 too much for a cold buffet! Bed was comfortable, shower good but overall dated, shabby and could have done with a make over

Joan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Beautiful hotel, nicely located and pleasant staff. The beds not comfortable, and we stayed during a warm evening so needed to have windows open and a fan on as no air con. So much noise outside till past 3am from maybe emptying of bins or other maintenance work meant I slept very little so not a comfortable experience.

Martin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

An okay stay but nothing to set it apart

The Gem Strathmore is constrained by the nature of the building but some better attention to detail could elevate the experience. For example, the picture in our room had slipped out of its surround (and clearly not recently), the cleaner put the contents of the bathroom bin down the toilet (plastic contact lens cases), and wardrobe doors couldn’t open because of the bed. The staff were very pleasant and efficient and the location was excellent.

Absolutely fantastic stay. The staff could not do enough for us. After I mentioned it was the end of his SATS week, they upgraded us and made his and my entire year. They were kind and thoughtful and so friendly. Best hotel I’ve stayed in in London! Room was lovely and bed comfy. Decor lovely too.
