London’s best small hotel
Great location, excellent service, beautiful surroundings. The food was not at the level I would have expected, but this is such a wonderful hotel in almost every way.

can’t beat the location
The Draycott is listed as a 4-5 star hotel, however I would rate it more a 3.75 star hotel. The room we had was very large for european standards and included a separate sitting area. The gas light fireplaces are especially delightful. The rooms are very clean and the bed was very comfortable. My only criticisms are that the furniture is kind of old and lumpy; the bathroom plumbing could have been better (ie. the toilet didn’t always have enough pressure to flush); and there were signs of wear & tear. The hotel staff was pleasant enough as far as Londoners go. The location was awesome though. The Sloane Sq. tube station is in easy walking distance and Sloane St. and Kings Road are very close and have lots of great shops and restaurants. The Draycott is also located on a side road so it was very quiet and you didn’t notice the hum of nearby traffic.
Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay
We found that buying our own breakfast treats at the local market and then ordering tea a la carte every morning at the hotel was a good way to start the day. We saved a little money this way and were able to comfortably visit the tourist locations for a good part of the day before stopping to eat.
