Disliked: Cleanliness
The bathroom wasn’t very clean and smelled like mold. Housekeeping wouldn’t come until very late in the day. I checked out a few days ago and they still haven’t charged me and the staff isn’t very helpful trying to figure out why. The location was nice and the room was big.

Great location
Amazing customer service, couldn’t fault it. The person on reception was so welcoming, personable and helpful as was the person in the breakfast bar. There were areas of our room that could have done with a small amount of paint to freshen it up and there was a strange drain smell occasionally in the bathroom however the room and bathroom were clean and the bed was comfy. They also had a beautiful lounge room which we used after coming back from a gig in Hyde Park. The location is perfect for Hyde Park, Oxford Street and walkable from London Paddington (20 minutes). All in all an enjoyable stay. Would stay again just for the location and customer service.

The Sumner didn’t make a great first impression - the reception area is cramped. And there were a couple problems in our room (the only outlet in the bathroom didn’t work, the WiFi was a bit sporadic, and the shower hose leaked). But the bed was soooo comfortable, the water pressure and temperature were great, the breakfast was fantastic (so many choices, hot and cold, and attentive service), and the location was perfect, very close to several things we wanted to do or see in London, and very close to public transportation of all sorts. Overall we give it a 9!

Staff were excellent & very obliging. The stairs were a real problem - they had a lift but you then had to carry your luggage up or down stairs to get to your room, which made it very difficult. Very squeaky floors throughout building

It's a small boutique hotel with only 8 rooms. It is a very old building, typical for the area, and located in a very good and convenient location. Nice neighborhood, safe, walkable and close to attractions and transportation. The elevator was fixed and in working condition. The room was big and comfortable; the bathroom was small. Breakfast was included and good. It's a small boutique hotel with only 8 rooms.
