The Ampersand is a beautifully appointed hotel with comfortable rooms and exceptional staff and service. We spent 6 nights here and found the area of South Kensington wonderful, with many restaurants, museums, and the hotel just a short walk to the Tube, making getting around London easy. We loved our stay at the Ampersand Hotel and highly recommend it!
