The Capital Hotel

The Capital is a great boutique hotel in a central location in Knightsbridge. Great for shopping and sightseeing. Staff is helpful but not effusive. The restaurant and bar are sophisticated and cosy. Our room was amazingly quiet and comfortable.

Excellent hotel, most pleasant stay and excellent service

Pros: Fantastic location, nicely decorated rooms, polite staff and great service, traveling alone and felt very safe Cons: Room too small, Air/C making too much noise, small and old bathrooms, with not too much light, no space at all to put personal toiletries. There is no need fr a bath tab, a shower would suffice, hot water and cold water coming from two different and not one tap.

Fantastic service, great location, small room, small bathroom and poor internet connection.With a few changes, could be a real gem. Very fair pricing.

Excellent hotel. The service is superb. However, it is not a cheap place to stay. Having said that, not many places in central London are cheap and the prices at the Capital are about the norm. I would definitiely recommend it. It is a lovely place to stay if it is within your budget.

The Capital Hotel has incredible service, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and proactive, the concierge got us almost-impossible-to-get theater tickets on short notice. But, for a luxury hotel, the bathrooms are ridiculously old-fashioned; separate hot and cold water taps in the sink, barely-a-trickle shower head. And the bathroom stank of cigarette smoke, coming through the vent from somewhere. There is Wifi, but annoyingly you have to keep entering a new access code every 23 hours, which is good for only one device. Two computers or iPads? Too bad. The location can't be beat, quiet street but half a block from Harrods. Small cozy bar, restaurant under new owner, not as good as it was a few years ago. If you like being pampered by people and can put up with less-than-modern utilities, you can't beat The Capital.

We loved the hotel. The staff was just great. I liked the location.

Excellent hotel and we had a great stay.

Very close to Harrods, Knightsbridge Underground, Q&A, Albert Hall, Hyde Park and easy walk to Piccadilly. The friendly staff advise and assist on all matters from organising cabs, recommending restaurants as alternatives to the excellent in house one, and looking after all personal needs. Quiet and understated elegance.

The single room is very small and quite dated (flowery padded walls) and the bathroom has seen better days (worn wooden seat), but ultimately it was clean and very quiet with impeccable service. Loved the Kiehl's toiletries. A great refuge after the hustle and bustle of the city. Handy for the tube, Harrods and a few other nearby shops. Good coffee shop on the corner with reasonable (for London) prices on casual fare. Would really have liked a tea/coffee service in the room though.
