Great location (now access to LHR easy on Elizabeth Line), nice building, friendly staff and good size rooms (for London standards). Stayed just one night but was pleasantly surprised and happy to recommend. Walking distance to sights and museums.

A lovely little traditional hotel in the best location for exploring London. Excellent staff, comfortable rooms and good breakfast. The building noise was minimal. That and the scaffolding didn’t affect our stay at all. We also had a complimentary wine/beer, which was a lovely touch. We would stay there again.

My most favourite London hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Super friendly staff, good location, room a little small but perfect for one night. Breakfast was very unique and tasty. Decor was delightful and it was very clean and tidy throughout. Lovely

I first stayed at The Rathbone around 45 years ago and many things have changed in and around the place, but it's still a great location for activities in central London. …

Very welcoming place with a Spanish touch for breakfast. The room was class, and the hotel is located in a great area (loved the Duke of York pub across the road). There was some noisy work going on in the daytime while we were there, and a film crew around the corner making a movie we presume. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Nice little historical hotel in the West End area of London. The service staff members were all very attentive to our needs during our weeklong stay. The welcoming and quaint little lobby area reminds you of being in your living room with a built in bar added.

Such a lovely stay in such a central part of London! The staff were incredible - lots of tips on where to go and very helpful during the whole stay. Stephanie and the team made all the difference - so much so that we have booked to stay for a few nights as part of our honeymoon!!
