I have been calling into the cocktail bar at Dukes for a number of years and sadly the service and attitude of the staff has deteriorated over the years. Given that Dukes has one of the best reputations for Martinis in London, they really ought to a) be more friendly given the high cost of the drinks b) listen to... More

We (two adults and two young kids) enjoyed a lot our stay at Dukes Hotel and this on all the aspects : staff, rooms, location... It was exactly what we were looking for. If we have the opportunity to come back to London, and it will happen, we will return to Dukes for sure.

Small hotel in a great neighborhood. Rooms are very small. I was offered one room, that was literally closet sized. My eventual room was on the first floor- quite loud with inoperable windows. Service was friendly and accommodating, but the hotel needs an upgrade. The internet was unreliable. The "gym" was tiny. The bathrooms lacked modern amenities and touches. The... More

The hotel was undergoing some changes during our stay, so there were some parts of the hotel which were unfinished. Otherwise it was lovely. The service was excellent and the drawing room was a nice place to have some tea after running about in the England fog.

I took my daughter for afternoon tea after she went to St James Palace to receive her Gold DofE Certificate. The staff were attentive and the service was excellent. We were made to feel welcome and the tea was served in stages which made us feel unhurried. We had Perrier Jouet champagne and a good choice of finger sandwiches. Small... More

We recently stayed at the Dukes, our second time, in three years and it was a great experience with one exception.

We had high expectations of this hotel having read the reviews. We had taken note of the small rooms and managed to get an upgrade to a superior room. What that says about the other two levels of rooms (Dukes and Classic) is telling. The superior room is still on the small side. Decor is clean and basic and nothing... More
