듀런츠 호텔

낡은 것과 앤티크의 중간쯤 되는 인테리어. 직원은 모두 친절. 욕실은 깨끗한데 개미를 한두마리 봄.

런던 출장을 가면 꼭 이 호텔에 머무는데.. 그 이유는 전통있는 호텔로 다른 곳들보다 제일 영국스럽다는 말이 나오기 때문. 관광개으로 북적거리지도 않고, 조용히 잉글리쉬 스타일로 아침을 먹으며, 주변의 셀프리지자 본드 스트리트까지 모두 걸어서 해결이 되니 편리하다. 오래된 건물의 호텔이라 침대 매트리스도 좀 쳐지고, 살짝 냄새도 나지만 가격대비 괜찮은듯.

Perfect

All good

This was a last minute booking after an Air Canada 2.5 hour delay caused me to miss the Sleeper train to Penzance by one minute. At first the night porter was reluctant to grant me the room I had just booked through Hotels.com, but he graciously let me stay, even though he was only able to find a luxury suite (the front desk staff had retired for the night). The next morning I was not charged for the "upgrade". I was treated much more fairly by Durrants than by Air Canada, who have thus far refused to pay for my night in London which they caused. My room was huge and quiet. I slept very well. I will be returning to a more modest room at Durrants, and in future, as funds permit, I will consider treating myself to a fancier room at this elegant London hotel.

Cozy

Beautiful rooms, very comfortable beds! Close to restaurants and shopping. Exceptional helpful staff. You feel like ypu are living in an English manor.

Great little hotel

Great

Staff were very friendly and ready to resolve any need or issue quickly and discretely. Wanted to thank the manager that changed me to an even lovelier room when I encountered noise neighbors. Location is just unbeatable with great shopping, pubs and restaurants all on your doorstep. Will hopefully stay again soon.

Lovely ambiance. Terrible water pressure. Weird shower arrangement. Coffee machine in room takes too much space.

The staff were attentive and took care of every need. Coming back to the lobby fireplace after a day of walking was so welcoming. The rooms were comfortable. The dining room had a nice ambience and delicious food options including gluten free options. I would definitely stay at Durrants again.

Prior to our stay, we informed the hotel that we have a new baby that was under the weather (crying, agitated etc). We asked if it would be possible to amend and/or cancel the booking, the answer was no and that there would be a cancellation charge applied equal to that of our entire booking. Moreover, they have ignored our follow-up email. It is rare that I leave bad reviews but feel it is warranted on this occasion. I would expect more from a hotel or this calibre.

We dropped bags at the hotel after a long day of travel and were allowed to clean up a bit as well. After checking in later that evening, we noted that the temperature control in the room was not working. As it was hot, we didn't want to be uncomfortable for the night, so we asked to be transferred to another room. They promptly gave us a room of the same type, this on the 3rd level. It was shabbier and actually seemed a bit dirty and smaller; we did comment on this to staff. But, this was our first trip to London and we didn't know if this was common in older hotels. The staff was excellent and very accommodating, the location amazing and easy to walk to parks, shopping, galleries and museums. We trekked all over greater London and had a wonderful experience. On our last night we enjoyed a drink in a living room on the main level. We'd hoped for a proper English breakfast on leaving, however the service on Sunday started later than posted. It was easy to get to London Euston from there, a short Uber drive, as we were headed to the Lake District. Overall we enjoyed the stay but were disappointed in the condition of our room given the cost of lodging. there.
