The Blakes is among my favorite Hotels in London, probably it is not as glamorous as the Claridges, but in my opinion it is better. The rooms are small, hence I strongly suggest the Junior Suites. The decor is "perfect" and the service is excellent, you really feel at home!

I was compelled to review Blakes only because we have never encountered such a high standard in any hotel before and we have travelled extensively. I was fortunate that a friend recommended Blakes to me as it is located in a wonderful, tranquil area of South Kensington and yet minutes to the Museums, Harrods Knightsbridge, Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park....

I work in the travel industry and was totally taken by surprise with this wonderful hotel which I had never heard of previously. The only negative point I can make is that we never stumbled on it earlier....otherwise this would of been our first port of call. The staff are so pleasant and are willing to go the extra mile....
