Fab little hotel with awesome staff
Having stayed at a few of the "boutique" hotels in the area, this was one of the best. I had a lovely welcome from the receptionist and Emma was also super helpful when arranging a late check out. Bathrooms were modern and spotless and room was nicely sized with good amenities. Thanks so much, ill be back next month!

Nice welcome, small family room
Lovely welcome at reception and nice lobby. Room was clean but so very small. We had a family room in the basement. Shower took a long time to heat up, so much so I almost had a cold shower.

Friendly with excellent service! 5*
This is a great hotel. The proximity to KX St Pan makes it perfect for London trip. The rooms are compact, but the idea is to not spend lots of time in there anyway! The beds were really comfortable and i slept like a log. The hotel was quiet too, no noise of traffic. The cleanliness was 100%. Clean floors, clean fresh sheets. Finally i would like to say something about Sienna, the receptionist. She was really warm and friendly. Upon checkout she asked if we wanted to leave our luggage for a few hours. We were going sightseeing and didn't fancy lugging a backpack around, so this offer was very kind and really made our stay at The California. Thank you Sienna!
