The Adria

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.

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

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.

We had the most absolute perfect experience with The Adria. We were on our anniversary trip and booked one night here via LHW before returning home. They upgraded us to the most stunning suite, and left us welcoming notes and gifts. Everything was 5-star, from the service from all the staff to the quality of the linens and everything in the room, to the pack to go breakfast they carefully prepared on time for us to take to the airport. They also made us a great recommendation for dinner. I just hope I can be back soon.

The hotel is situated in beautiful Queens Gate, and the interior is stunning in every way. Both the hotel rooms and the lounging areas are beautifully designed and are great for relaxing after a day about town. The staff personnel were very polite and accommodating. However the miscommunications and sometimes poor attention to detail was somewhat surprising. As a boutique hotel the number of guests is quite limited, which would lead one to think that the guests would be easy for the staff to keep track of. Two out of three breakfasts there was some issue (as LHW members we were informed that continental breakfast was included in our stay). Day two the hostess informed us, in front of the other guests in the restaurant, that we had no breakfast package. This was sorted out eventually but still an unpleasant disturbance when checked into a five star hotel. Especially in front of the other guests. When we pointed this out after breakfast, we were informed that we, in fact, were entitled to any item we wanted from the menu as members of LHW, not only the continental. This fact was unfortunately left out from our welcome information. As we were leaving early the next morning we declined anything else from the menu but asked that our continental breakfast would be waiting for us after check out at 7am. As we arrived for breakfast on the last day, the staff was completely oblivious to our request from the previous day. Luckily we hadn’t ordered anything from the menu apart from the continental breakfast which was easy to prepare. As we checked out we asked to receive the invoice via email, but it has not yet arrived two days later and we’ve had to contact the hotel in order to try and get it sorted. As we passed by the reception on our way out we were also informed that they had made a mistake in payment and that we had to repeat the process. They also appear to have charged to much for the stay, but without the invoice it is hard to say what caused the error. Hopefully they will send it over soon. All in all, the experience was not at all what we expected from a five star hotel. Guests pay a premium for attention to detail, unfortunately the breakfast debacles robbed us of much of the relaxing experience.
