The room itself was excellent, quiet, clean and well cared for. The main restaurant lacked energy or music to entice us to have a meal or even a beverage. We did not appreciate on check out this morning the suggestion of a discretionary gratuity for the staff which equated to $250 CDN for our 7 night stay. The invoice was presented and we declined. No final checkout receipt was received. As well the cc deposit taken on arrival Sept 24 for our 7 night stay of $934,CDN is yet to be returned/ credited to our visa. Disappointing!

Fabulous hotel

Beautiful boutique hotel on a quiet street just steps from the V&A and natural history museums. Very close to the S. Kensington tube station. High end shopping abounds. Very comfortable rooms and excellent customer service. Would definitely stay again.

Over priced and photos on the site did not give a true impression of what we booked. Bar and mini bar in room extortionate. Restaurant over priced and £30 for breakfast which thought would have been included seeing as I paid nearly £900 for 2 nights this was not included. Additional service charges added for drinking in the in house bar and normal maid service was also an additional service charge was added without asking, which we questioned so these charges were removed. Bedroom was sooo small not even room to put away 2 pieces of luggage. Couldn’t get changed without knocking into something.

A fantastic boutique hotel. Kind and attentive staff. Comfortable room and bed. Randomly chosen from Expedia. Lucky for us! One morning there was no hot water. Likely happens as this is a small hotel. This did not affect our very positive experience. Breakfast was just excellent. Not cheap. But worth it.

Lovely stay

It was fabulous as celebrating my birthday and staff were great and extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend it but be aware there is service on absolutely everything even your stay which is optional but put on your bill. I am very disappointed on being charged for an extra coffee at breakfast when we took the package. We have travelled the world and stayed in many London Hotels and coffee at breakfast is always unlimited. A little petty and unnecessary in my opinion. I would like to say Justina was exceptional.

A truly special experience

We stayed at The Franklin Hotel as a very special treat for our wedding ceremony at Chelsea Registry Office, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Staying in somewhere like Kensington is a very rare luxury for us, so we were looking for somewhere that felt indulgent but not pretentious, and The Franklin was perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly special. They were warm, genuine, and went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly memorable. We were upgraded to a stunning room, and arrived to find bubbles and treats waiting for us—a beautiful and thoughtful touch that meant the world. Everything was prestine, clean and comfortable. The steam room was a highlight and a perfect way to unwind before breakfast, and we even managed to use the gym. We were treated to an incredible breakfast spread brought straight to our room, which made the experience feel all the more luxurious. This was a stay we will never forget, and we’re so grateful to the whole team for making it so magical for us. We truly hope we get the chance to return in the future. Thank you again for making our wedding weekend so special 💛

They had private events for three nights where the lobby was packed and very little security. We witnessed a robbery outside the hotel (a suitcase being stolen from a nearby hotel). I found men workers in the women bathroom with no signage on door that they were in there. Ran out of fruit for breakfast
