I just wanted to extend my sincere thanks for the wonderful hospitality during my stay. The breakfast was absolutely delightful, and the overall experience was truly memorable. Special thanks to James for the warm welcome, and to the kind lady who bid me farewell—though I didn’t catch her name, her smile stayed with me.

A truly wonderful stay I absolutely loved my stay at The Adria. The staff were exceptional — genuinely friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The interior design is simply magical, combining elegance and warmth in every corner. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to ensure maximum comfort for travelers. It’s one of those rare places where you immediately feel at home. I would gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting London.

Amazing ambience. Perfectly clean and comfortable. Excellent service and a personable but not intrusive approach. A real retreat yet so well located.

A lovely place to stay. Almost feeling like home:-) chill and relaxed. Perfect location in a nice environment. We had to work a bit in our stay an we could sit in a nice room working in quite surroundings with at cup of coffee. Short walk to the Underground and to Royal Albert Hall where we went for a nice concert. We will definitely come back.

Spatious room and bathroom, well equipped. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff. Location a bit out of the center. Reception area was not defined, we were seated in a dining room for check in. Very annoying vibrations of a metro line underneath the hotel. Poor acoustic insulation to neighbouring rooms

Nice hotel Good service. No bar. No resturant (though food can be brought in), limited staff, so expect a wait getting into hotel, as door is kept locked. Nice hotel. Nice rooms, decor good, though they’re not fully soundproof - we could hear next door’s conversations!

Stayed here for a week whilst attending an event at Imperial College. Very easy walking to Imperial and all the museums. Also very easy walking to Gloucester Road tube station to get into town. All the restaurants at South Kensington only 2 minutes walk. Beautiful hotel with each room given a name not a number. Feels very much like staying in someone's fine London home and a very different experience than staying in an international cookie cutter chain. Staff were universally fantastic. Room was very comfortable. Quiet and no noticeable noise from outside. Bed and linen fine. Nice touch to have a TV over the bath... Thought it would be a gimmick but used it every night! For such a small hotel they have a serviceable gym and sauna. Great a la carte breakfast with the most amazing orange yolked eggs! Any negatives? Slightly odd light switches in room (never sure if they would respond to pressing) but that is really all. Would definitely stay again.
