Overall Ratings & Reviews The Academy - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

Friendly staff, small rooms, really small. My roomed had the stench of overcooked broccoli pretty much the whole stay. The single rooms are dark, low lighting, and room 43 must be over their kitchen trash…not recommended.

I like the place. Staff all friendly and nice.

Good location to British Museum and many walkable parts of the city; easy going vibe; helpful staff. Only surprise was the thimble size of the single room, which took some gymnastics to maneuver.

The room was small but had windows and it was well decorated. Breakfast is very good

Absolute perfect location. Very tranquil area with many great small cafes and restaurants. Was quiet and calm at night and very walkable to everything. The room was large and very comfortable. We would stay again.

Great service

Excellent staff, but some rooms and bathrooms are very small. No elevator. The breakfast is minimal with no hot items except tea/coffee unless you pay extra.

This place was perfect for me. Had a bar, a gorgeous outside garden and the rooms were comfy. I enjoyed the staff and hope to come back soon.

Beautiful property! Great atmosphere! Room was spacious and comfortable. Convenient location! Highly recommend!

The staff were so kind and accommodating.

What a great place to stay. From my early arrival on Saturday morning (to drop my bag) until my departure two days later, I loved my time at The Academy. Much as this hotel has many excellent features; *a convenient location for the west end, *great nearby transport links, *a beautifully decorated room, *breakfast included with the room, *free drinks in the fridge, *pod coffee maker *comfortable public rooms *a garden space to chill, the best quality of this hotel is its staff. Every member of the team I met in reception, housekeeping and in the dining room was so helpful and looked genuinely happy to be there. Smiles were immediate and warm. I very much hope to stay here again. Hx

Excellent. Luxe interiors, helpful staff, enormous continental breakfast. Would recommend.

Very nice. Tiny room.

This hotel is in the perfect location to see all of London within a short walk or bus/underground ride. So many shops, bars, restaurants, and theaters nearby! The staff went above and beyond any time I had a question or needed anything!! Highly recommend!!

Lovely area. Walkable from main stations. Close to British museum. Room v comfortable with tasteful decor. Breakfast good. Staff v helpful.

I've stayed in the this hotel more than 20 times so I'm well qualified to speak about it. It's on a lovely street close to the British museum and West End theaters, which works perfectly for me. The beds are terrible and in spite of renovations of the property have not been changed since the 90s when I first stayed there. That and a kind of mediocre breakfast are the downsides. My small room is always clean.

Fabulous hotel - walkable - nice bar, lounge, patio - and great staff.

Unbelievably wonderful service from an outstanding team that wanted us to be comfortable and satisfied. Shoutout to Felix, Doran, Amila and seriously the entire team (not all names I caught but you are here). Convenient work and sitting areas. Lovely outside patio and bar. Rooms really comfortable (big fan of Elemis so thumbs up there). Thank you will definitely be back.

David was incredibly helpful and the staff overall was very friendly. A great location thats within walking distance to many locations and walking distance to multiple train lines as well.
