We have stayed at several Kimpton properties in California, and have always found the amenities to be excellent. The London hotel, while it's a beautiful building/property, felt like there were a lot of short cuts. A silly but significant example is the hair dryer. They have the old/out of date hair dryers where you have to hold the button down the whole time. The last time I saw this was at an old/outdated hotel in Italy where the whole hair dryer unit was affixed to the wall. Is Kimpton afraid of people leaving hair dryers going?? It's just weird and not what I would expect from a luxury hotel.
The Fitzroy is a historic hotel and it is magnificent. The staff was top level and helpful in every way. I was upgraded to a studio suite and it was a spectacular room. The staff is superb and amazingly helpful and accommodating. I’ve been here 3 times and will be back again.
Rooms are very small, even by European standards. Bathroom was so tiny that there was no place to plug in a hair dryer, no counter space. Common areas downstairs were nice, but there was trash, leftover dishes in hallways every day of our four night stay. Would not stay here again.
We had a room with two double beds, however the room was too small for such and should have been much larger. In hindsight I should have asked to be moved to a better room. That said the hotel was lovely as were the staff.
Lovely, grand hotel with modern amenities. Our suite was specious and well appointed. Our bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was great with separate shower and tub. Russel Square tube line was a few short steps away and there are several places nearby for breakfast options. Not much nightlife here, but that was fine as it was easy to get to and still quiet for rest. I recommend!
