As someone who lived in central London for 40 years and more, and moved away five years ago, it’s fascinating see the city as a tourist. London is big and sprawling, it has many distinct areas, and choosing a hotel depends on what you want and what you can afford. Unlike the previous reviewer, I would not describe the Lowndes... more

My wife and I spent an evening here while in town to see a show in the west end. We arrived in the early afternoon during a driving rain and the desk staff greeted us with a smile, hot towel and cup of mint tea. The room was immaculate, the bed absolutely perfect and the complimentary espresso maker was a... more

Sure, the rooms are not the most spacious and the breakfast doesn't include the grandest of sprawls (compared with a Hilton breakfast) but the rooms were tastefully furnished, chic-ly equipped, and the breakfast was as immaculately presented as I was attentively tended to. Access to the pool facility in the adjacent twin property the Jumeirah Towers was perfect; pleasant afternoon... more

The best aspects of the Lowndes are its location and the access to the Carlton Towers (see later). Pleasant greeting with a drink and a cold towel (on a very hot day). Rooms are on the small side, unless you go for Executive Suites or higher. The room felt cramped because of the low ceiling and the fact that you... more

Stayed here for the first time recently and will use it as a base when in London, good location, professional staff, small but well appointed rooms and bathrooms.

Our stay at the Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel was great. The staff especially was great and very accomodating. The location was superb during the day and very quiet at night. This was my first trip to London but I'd certainly stay again. The bed was very comfortable, the A/C worked well, and the bathroom was nicely appointed. Beware of calls from... more

Very good location close to Knightsbridge and Green Park. Rooms and bedding are nice, but service is terrible, maximum 3 stars for staff attitude. Breakfast is expensive. Extra charges were made to my credit card by mistake. more

Just spent 3 nights at the Jumeirah Lowndes and thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent location Harvey Nics/Harrods in five minutes, tube in six.The fact that the hotel isn't huge gives it a nice feel, the staff on the desk couldn't have been more helpful. Though the deluxe room wasn't huge it had everything we wanted and was well presented. Avoid the... more

Having only discovered the delights of using Trip Advisor within the last year. I am now trying to complete reviews on recent trips, albeit several months later. This is one boutique hotel I couldn't leave out. We stayed here for one night following a trip to Florence ( see my other reviews ) It was such a pleasant experience, having... more
