The Cadogan was a wonderful hotel but could have a few improvements. The service was perfect. The staff was courteous and helpful. The atmosphere traditional and classy in the common areas. Afternoon tea was perfect. The improvements were needed in the room they gave us. We requested a deluxe double and were put in a superior double which was the lesser of a room. The carpet was dingy and stained and there was a leak in the corner of the room by the closet. (This stained some clothing that was there before the discovery of the leak.) The television was very limited on choices of channels and the shelving in the bathroom was directly over the toilet. (not good when something drops) The gym was very tiny and limited. I will say that the staff was excellent though.

I was referred by friends of friends to try the Cadogan. From the first moment I got into the hotel, I knew it was going to be my place. Very traditional and discreet. The staff at the reception were very professional and very friendly. I really felt welcome. The room was new and very clean. Not many TV channells though. I will certainly recommend this hotel to all of my friends, who like me travel on business. Grazie Cadogan. Silvio Bonetti - Milan

I was shown to my room by a staff member who said it was her favorite room in the hotel - she must be an insomniac because the street noise made it impossible to get any sleep. The hotel is located at the intersection of two major streets and so the street noise goes on all night long. I live in New York City and so know there are things you can do to block out the street noise but this hotel has done of those things. I won't even bother to mention that a window, window shade, light and air conditioner in my room were all not working. Management was unreceptive to any discussion of a credit for my sleepless nights or for all the things that were not working in my room.

I had read an article on the NY Times and was intrigued by the history of this property. Oscar Wilde arrested there and Lllie Langtry used to live there. Decided to give it a try on my next trip to London. I loved every minute of it. The location could not be better, in Knightsbridge, near Harrods and on Sloane Street. The staff was friendly and very attentive. Always had the right word, at the right time. I did love my stay with them. The rooms were new and very clean. They had just had a refurbishment the Housekeeper said to me. I normally like more contemporary hotels, this is very British and very classic in style. I did not mind that. They were also having some art exhibitions, which I though was something different for an hotel. Loved the British contemporary food experience, which I thought was something worth a try. Did not know how good the British cuisine could be. I will definitely be back. George Wilson Chicago Illinois

After touring many hotels in London the Cadogan was by FAR our group's number one choice. Its superb location in Knightsbridge off Sloane Street can't be beat. All of London's sights are are quickly and easily accessible from this location by Underground. Upon entering the lobby, one steps back in time as the decor is very traditional yet classical and is complimented well with pieces of classical art. Close attention to intricate details can be seen in all areas - from the tiles in the public areas to the light fixtures. The hotel has quite an interesting history - combined with the elegant decor and excellent service, this hotel is a great choice for discerning travellers (bear in mind London prices!) The rooms on the upper floors are more traditional and elegant in decor - as I understood these are the refurbished rooms. I recommend requesting one of these rooms as the rooms on the lower floors are more contemporary and lack the elegant decor and historical feel of the rooms on the upper floors. For the discerning traveller who prefers properties which reflect the city that they are in will find this hotel a perfect choice. Its elegance and excellent service also make it an exceptional choice for honeymoon couples.
