The Cranley Hotel - Comment
I have to say I am not a "devotee" of the Cranley. I have stayed there twice and have been disappointed both times. Its not that its dirty or in need of a refurbishment it is simply that it is over marketed and expectations are too high. I have looked at Tripadviser "candid" pictures and wondered how a guest managed to gain access to a 4th floor private apartment opposite simply to take a photo of the hotel exterior or who would photograph a breakfast tray so beautifully. Anyway lets look at the positive side of things. The Cranley location is good being located on a fairly quiet side street and convenient for Fulham, Earls Court and Kensington. The condition of the hotel is good as are the excellent beds and the bathrooms. "Antique" furnishings are a bit of a hotch potch, many being modern reproductions. Service is excellent.Now the downside. The stairs creak like crazy and in conjunction with the gap under the bedroom door letting in light I had a disturbed nights and mornings sleep. There are no public areas unless you mean the couch in the entrance which people exit and entry by. Hotel Assist Verdict: ![]() Most overpriced Bed and Breakfast in London. It might impress our friends from across the Atlantic with its cosmetically historic appeal but I consider it overpriced and that there are far better options in the area.

The Cranley brings together the best of established hotel tradition and service, plus the advantages of the most up-to-date technology expected from a top-class London hotel of the 21st century. Furnished with wonderful antiques, The Cranley has an understated elegance and air of sophistication. The colours used throughout the hotel rooms and reception areas - striking combinations of Chinese blue, mustard, plum and stone - are derived from the original 19th-century floor tiles in the hotel's entrance hall. The Cranley's commitment to service is reflected in the extra hotel amenities offered to our guests. As well as complimentary English tea and afternoon scones and a complimentary aperitif and canapes each evening, an imaginative Room Service menu is also available for hotel guests wishing to dine in the comfort of their room.
