Dissapointed
Pros:

I was informed one day before arrival through an email that because the Hotel was in renovation, many changes existed to the detriment of the customer (of course). The room was booked by me 1 month before arrival and fully prepaid 10 days before arrival. I am sure that the Hotel management knew about the renovation before...

A wonderful place to stay in London
Pros:

We stayed here the last few days of our trip to England and absolutely loved it. Rooms were great, bed was super comfy and doorman was top notch! We loved the quiet, yet convenient location. The outside decor was so pretty, people passing by took photos.

Wonderful Experience at The Capital Hotel
Pros:

My husband and I spent a week at The Capital Hotel in October to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. We were welcomed in as if being welcomed home from the first time we entered to the last. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and incredibly charming. Every detail is attended to. This was our first trip to London. Due to our lack of familiarity with the city, we had selected this hotel simply because of its affiliation with Warwick and our positive experiences at Warwick in New York City. We absolutely lucked out on this choice! We could not have been happier with the experience at The Capital Hotel! The location is outstanding. We were within walking distance of Harrods, Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace... (a little bit of a hike, but a great walk), nice restaurants and pubs, boutiques,... Our room was beautiful and comfortable, and a relaxing home base during our stay. We plan on returning and staying at The Capital again. As stated, it is beautiful, charming, and convenient. But one of the greatest assets is the people. I wish I could name each employee we encountered because every single one contributed to our stay being positively memorable. Some names I did get were Ariola and Paulo. But, truly, I'd love to give a shout out to every single individual working at The Capital October 3-10, 2025. I would absolutely recommend this hotel, and look forward to returning.

The Capital: A Boutique Refuge in Knightsbridge. Revealed hospitality shaped with intention.
Pros:

Boutique in scale, yet generous in character, where every detail has been considered with care. Deep comfort of a king size bed, room warmed to a restful embrace, bathroom with heated floors that turned winter mornings into something indulgent. Service throughout was poised without pretense. Dinner at the bar carried an understated elegance, and breakfast in the dining room offered a welcome return to the English classics. Michelin- starred Chef Tom Brown showcased his menu that reflected his signature sensibility, seasonal ingredients, deep flavor, and a quiet confidence on the plate.

Magnificent...
Pros:

Went for an award in London & stayed at The Capital.
The welcome from reception was very warm & friendly, Declan & Alejandro are a truly asset to The Capital.

I would say it will be extremely difficult to find this level of service anywhere.
Long live The Capital.

Excellent staff in an excellent hotel. What a wonderful stay!
Pros:

I stayed in the standard queen room for a couple nights, and it was wonderful. My wife surprised me with this booking for London. Usually, I don't trust her with bookings, but this time she did well.

Great staff and service
Pros:

Very good staff. Miguel the overnight concierge was great - it is nice to have access to a drink very late or coffee very early. There was a technical issue with the room which was also promptly resolved.

Great location across from Herrods.

Rooms are very small, but that is the norm for London.

This wasn’t my first time staying here, and once again everything was excellent. The location is ideal for getting around London, yet the hotel still feels calm and relaxing inside. The room was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained, with a great night’s sleep.
What really makes the difference is the team — consistently professional, kind, and genuinely welcoming. Thank you to everyone for the wonderful hospitality and for making my stay so enjoyable. I’ll definitely be returning again.

Perfect Stay at The Capital
Pros:

It was a genuinely lovely experience. I actually found the hotel through ChatGPT, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed. The place has a classic vibe, it’s clean, quiet, and perfect for a solo traveler like me. service was great, the atmosphere felt cozy and homey, and the staff were incredibly kind. The location is also a big plus, close to Hardee’s, shops, a supermarket, and a pharmacy, which made everything super convenient.
My room on the fourth floor was wonderful, and I could see a beautifully renovated room nearby. Next time, I’m hoping to stay in the fifth or sixth floor.

A special shoutout to Estella at the reception, she was amazing. Her presence made me feel genuinely welcomed.
