We had a fabulous time at the Rembrandt starting with a Champagne Tea when we arrived from Washington DC. Every member of the staff was helpful and cheerful from the beginning of our stay to the end. …

Lovely reception staff, grumpy bar staff, hotel dated. Worst thing was the adjoining room was very poorly sound proofed, therefore wouldn't recommend for a good sleep. Room was comfy, shower and bathroom delightful but I wouldn't stay again

I love the staff, they were all kind and accommodating! The room was also nice. Slippers were the only thing I wish they had (because I forgot to pack them). I know some higher-end hotels provide them, but other than that, It was a great stay! I love the drink vouchers and the breakfast included.

My husband and I came to London to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We could not have been happier with our experience at the Rembrandt! The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the shower was nice and hot with strong consistent water pressure. The location was central to everywhere we wanted to be, directly across the street from the Victoria and Albert and a few blocks away from Harrods. Staff were very helpful and kind. The complementary breakfast was elegant and well-appointed. Overall, this will definitely be our destination hotel for further trips to London.

Our stay in this hotel was amazing.The room was big and had a huge bed. Everything in the room was of good quality and it was all super clean.The bath had jets which was an unexpected bonus.The hotel itself is very well maintained it felt a lot quieter than the larger hotels which suited me perfectly.The staff are all so friendly. Honestly I can't fault them.Because we booked direct, we were given a free drink at the hotel bar and the room rate included breakfast which was of superb quality and a great selection.The location is amazing for the museums, theatres and shops.We arrived early and although we couldn't get our room (which I wasn't expecting to at that time of the day), they did allow us to leave our bags so we could go out and explore :)I will happily stay here again and can't wait for our next visit.
