LOVE THIS UNIQUE BOHO STYLISH HOTEL
Pros:

The Artist Residence London is CHARMING, PERSONALIZED, BOHO, CHIC and overall just LOVELY boutique hotel. This is due to the amazing people who work there. They held my bags the day I arrived while I explored London (I got in early), one night when my day schedule went long... they ordered me dinner while I was out at a play so it would be ready upon my return (as local restaurants would have been closed), they arranged taxis and gave travel advice (where to shop etc) whenever I needed. This was a big personal trip for me (and I was traveling solo) and felt really safe & taken care of here at the Artist Residence London. Shout out to the little details: daily delivery of milk for coffee, cute bags for hairdryer, and room details go a long way to create the chill vibe -- much appreciated for this visiting Californian. Also, you are surrounded by friendly people, cool unique art and an awesome easy going vibe while staying there. Highly recommend.

Good food - bizarre service.
Pros:

Let me say, first of all, the food was very good as were the pre dinner cocktails downstairs. All 4 of us had different main courses and all were very tasty and well cooked. Service however was erratic and slightly bizarre almost to the extent that it was comical! The waitresses didn't seem too bothered about providing a professional or even acceptable service - things ordered but not delivered - having to ask 3 times for a replacement bottle of wine - lots of chatter amongst themselves... just a rather careless and slovenly manner. I left a £25 tip at the end - I only hope most goes to the kitchen staff and not front of house. I like the Artist Residence brand and frequent the Penzance one. I just hope this establishment does not bring the overall reputation down.

We didn’t want to leave!
Pros:

We absolutely loved staying at the Artist Residence! We weren’t sure what to expect but as soon as we got into our room, we fell in love with it and didn’t want to leave! The mix of antiques and pop art throughout was fab and the room was really spacious with comfortable furniture and plush bedding and towels. The neighborhood was quiet and elegant but just a short walk, under 30 minutes, to all the touristy sites and only 10 minute walk to Victoria Station where you can get just about anywhere. And, then there’s the restaurant - the food was fabulous for both dinner and breakfast. We recommend eating there as much as you can.

Restaurant...not as good as I remembered!
Pros:

We revisited The Artist Residence last Saturday (20th September 2025) for our reservation at 12.15. On arrival, we asked about the brunch menu - as this is what we had last time and was delicious - to be told that they weren't serving it. Despite the website saying that it was served until 3pm (we showed them the website), our server told us that the website was wrong and that "they had stopped that since yesterday". We asked to speak with the manager (Paul) and was quite rudely and abruptly told that no, we couldn't order from that menu.
We ordered cocktails - which took over 20 minutes to be made (the server admitted he'd never made them before!) and when our food did eventually arrive, they brought out the wrong item. My friend then had to wait another 15 minutes whilst it was cooked. There was no apology or offer to remove it from the bill.
Our plates weren't cleared away before her dessert was delivered and we felt as though we had to constantly try and get the attention of the staff. After we had paid our bill we were asked how our experience was, and when we explained all of the above, were offered a "free coffee" - which neither of us drink so declined.
Very disappointed and wouldn't return again soon. Please update your website as we would not have visited at that time and don't want others to find the same. Please also think about your customer service and the manner in which front of house speak to customers!

Lovely hotel
Pros:

A really lovely hotel, on a very quiet street not too far away from Victoria Station. Clean, quiet, beautiful room, had everything I needed. Staff were super friendly, room service burger was delicious, hit the spot after a day walking the streets of London. My only slight criticism was the room felt a little cold, even with the thermostat turned up, and I would have loved a more generous quilt on the bed, but those are small quibbles by someone who feels the cold.

A wonderful stay
Pros:

The staff and the apartments are so wonderful. We felt at home we were inspired by the creative design. We were so comfy and really nice beds with great linens and excellent snacks in our room. The location was beautiful and easy and the restaurant was super tasty.
