The Ormonde House Hotel has no pretensions about being a five star hotel in London. It has no air-conditioning or internet and no complimentary slippers. What is does offer is a range of individual rooms, well furnished and at very affordable prices. It is worth checking out the rooms if possible before unpacking, as they vary greatly in size and outlook. All 12 rooms are ensuite with tea and coffee facilities, telephones, televisions and hairdryers. The beds and feather pillows are comfortable and the breakfast is a true full English breakfast served on the best china and silverware.

Notably many of the guests have stayed here before or are recommended from the nearby foreign embassies. Past guests include Charlie Chaplin and various ambassadors and members of European royalty. The hotel still offers a butler and Rolls Royce limousine service to its guests. For a central hotel in London offering exceptional value for money, the Ormonde House Hotel is well worth considering.
