The Bailey is a grand Victorian hotel that has been nicely refurbished. It’s right at the Gloucester Road tube station. Good amenities in the room including an espresso maker, upscale toiletries. The furnishings include a comfortable bed, ample desk space, and well made chairs. The weakest link for me is the food in the in house restaurant. There are many restaurants nearby. I would have been more satisfied having a meal elsewhere. The hotel breakfast was also nothing to write home about. Lots of over cooked eggs, breakfast meats and unimaginative breads. But there is variety in the breakfast buffet. I may have made bad choices.

Right next to a Tube Station so getting around London was a breeze. Beautiful hotel. Lovely room. Wonderfully professional staff. We will be back. In our mind the Bailey Hotel is our base camp while running around London.

Not so good

Rooms' doors make A LOT of noise when they are shut closed, so you won't be able to sleep past 7am when people start getting up. The hotel is a bit tacky and outdated, it looks like something out of a bad 90's christmas movie. The room felt claustrophobic with it's low ceilings, tiny bathroom and large furniture. Even with the elevator there are still steps, so keep that in mind if you have luggage. On the positive side it is right across from the tube station and there are grocery shops and restaurants around.

Friendly and Comfortable, great location

Very friendly and helpful staff! The hotel was very clean and had a lovely, comfortable feel to it. We stayed in the small double room, and found that there was still enough room for two people to store luggage and move around comfortably. Location was great, right across from Gloucester Road Underground Station. A bit of noise on the street on one of the nights, but not the hotel's fault, and to be expected with a street facing room in London.

Great location - would definitely use again

Friendly and really helpful staff. Seemed keen on upselling to a bigger room etc, but to be fair they had a point (the double bed in the room we'd chosen was pretty small). Location is brilliant - just across the road from Gloucester Road tube station, a short walk from the Natural History museum and Royal Albert Hall.

이 호텔은 멋진선택입니다

이 호텔은 여행객에게 정말 최고의 위치입니다. 특히 안전을 중요시하는 저에게 좋았습니다. Gloucester station 이 바로 앞에 있어서 뮤지컬을 보고 늦게 도착했는데 역 앞이라 전혀 무섭지 았았습니다. 직원들 모두 친절하며 너그러웠습니다. 호텔앞에 먹거리상점들도 많아요. 다음에 런던에 간다면 꼭 이호텔을 선택할것입니다.
