Disappointing Experience at The Wellesley KnightsbridgeI had high expectations for The Wellesley Knightsbridge, but unfortunately, my experience was marred by an encounter with a front desk manager who made me feel unwelcome. Her attitude was cold and dismissive, and it felt as though I was being treated differently because of my ……. This behavior is unacceptable, especially at a luxury hotel that prides itself on exceptional service and hospitality.The rest of the staff were courteous and professional, but the treatment I received from the front desk left a lasting negative impression. No one should feel uncomfortable or singled out based on their background, and I hope the hotel takes steps to ensure all guests are treated with respect and dignity.While the location and amenities are excellent, I cannot recommend this hotel until it addresses issues with its staff and creates a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all guests.

My stay at The Wellesley Knightsbridge was wonderful. The hotel exudes elegance, and the service was exceptional. We did experience an issue with the air conditioning in our room, but the team acted promptly and professionally by offering us another room to sleep in while they fixed the issue. Their quick and attentive response made the situation much more manageable. Overall, a great stay, and I would definitely recommend this hotel!

The staff were the most welcoming, kindest people. We had a terrible experience with a Airbnb and they were able to find us a room on short notice. They were willing to accommodate our every need. The food and drinks were wonderful. Highly recommend this to any traveler.

Simply the best service I’ve had on a hotel. It was our 25 yr anniversary and they put some rose petals in my bed. We had an early flight and they waited on the transportation with my wife’s coffee… Impressive. I appreciate the elegance and quality, yet service was above any expectations.
