The Ampersand is a lovely hotel with 5 Star staff, but I found the Amenities of the hotel to be of 4 Star quality.
Pros:

The highlight of the stay was the employees. Each employee went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful.

Cons:

Our initial room had some AC issues, expected during a heat wave. This was handled promptly, but unfortunately our new room was still rather warm. The staff did all things possible to accommodate.

Perfect place to visit West London.
Pros:

Beautiful hotel, just next door to South Kensington tube station, so perfectly communicated, walking distance to Natural History Museum, Hyde Park or Harrods. In the room there is all, what you need to feel comfortable.

Cons:

We were told, we get the message, when our room is ready after arrival (it was around midday), but no message or call was done.

Indulge yourself and be rewarded
Pros:

This gem is located perfectly for tourism. Steps to South Kensington or just alongside a bus stop and taxi line. The linens and bed were so comfortable. Restaurant provided hearty and lovely food at all hours. Front desk personnel, especially Jerry, were always willing to assist and provide local knowledge to our benefit.

Cons:

Everyone’s top notch.

Beautiful hotel, perfect location close to the tube station, Apero restaurant superb!
Pros:

My lovely room was on the main floor looking out onto the street which meant that I had to keep the drapes pulled. I like a bright room with a view so this was not ideal.

Cons:

My room and bathroom were beautifully appointed but small, would have liked more space.
