I stayed here last week prior to an appointment in Harley Street (a 5 minute walk away). The hotel is not huge but it is very elegant and the bar, lounges and restaurant are quite lovely. The staff are very welcoming and efficient. …

We booked this hotel based on a recommendation from the FT. I am glad we did. It is walking distance from the dubious charms of Oxford Street but far from the crowds. …

We just had a fabulous stay at The Durrants Hotel! The rooms are on the smaller side but quite comfortable for us since we only slept in the room. In our opinion, the location cannot be beat and the service was all around superb. We definitely recommend and would stay again!

Stayed here just one night recently but would love to have stayed longer. This is a little gem of a hotel. Calm and peaceful, its smallish public rooms are stylish, cosy and warm in atmosphere.  …

Afternoon Tea was excellent. Great location. Lovely, chaming place and staff. Quiet, relaxing. We took our time.We didn't stay there which is why there is no rating for the room.

When in London we always stop at The Durrants Hotel, a lovely traditional hotel ideally based for work and relaxing, the breakfast are always high quality and friendly staff. We had an evening meal with them this time and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet ambience.

The lady at check-in (wearing gold glasses) wasn’t particularly welcoming. Not a single smile or anything to welcome me. Asked for a credit card on check in - which I didn’t have (1 night pre-paid business trip) then said they had to empty the mini bar ‘to be safe’ - OKAY. I don’t drink alcohol anyway but I was asked to take a seat at the bar where she said she would come and get me- she did not. I had to go back and check the status of my room and if I was allowed to enter it after growing tired of waiting. The room is in dire need of an update. (BADLY) Ripped / mauled curtains, stained towels on arrival, chipped paintwork, stained cushions & outdated bedspread. But most of all the staff are a little too snooty and not friendly at all. Wasn’t really directed or shown to my room, nor explained breakfast or dinner / facilities. Just given a key (after I had to ask where I should collect it from - hint - it’s not reception) A smile and some information could very well transform one’s stay here. Good location, poor views, REALLY LOUD creaking floors above me which had me up from 6am. (I was in room 106).
