Nice staff and great location with lots of train options. Despite a beautiful and modern lobby the rest of the property is quite run down. My room had carpet and curtain wear/stains and the bathroom had some tile damage. Dated furnishings but a very large and spacious room which was great. Absolutely fine for a pragmatic business trip but definitely not ideal for an indulgent vacation stay.

Warm and welcoming

We have stayed at the Sumner Hotel on numerous occasions, and I can honestly say the welcome we receive is always incredibly warm and genuine. The staff are absolutely lovely and can’t do enough for you. While the rooms are beginning to look a bit tired, they remain clean and comfortable for a good night's sleep. The hotel’s location is exceptional, just a couple of minutes' walk from Marble Arch. Plus, the neighbourhood is a treat to explore, with amazing bars and restaurants right on the doorstep. All in all, it's a fantastic place to stay.

Lots of potential in need of renovation

The initial reaction when stepping into the Sumner was traditional London high end hotel/B&B. Service was lovely the receptionist was very welcoming and shared all details that needed to be conveyed. All rooms are serviced by the lift however there is one staircase to negotiate regardless of where your room is - not an issue for me but good for people to be aware. The room was an impressive size, very spacious, lots of storage, fridge, tea & coffee facilities, desk and pretty much everything you would need. Now for the downside: Rooms are very noisy - internal and external noises can be heard pretty clearly. Neither of the bedside tables worked Bathroom needed some TLC - patchwork tiling where fixes had previously been done and a lingering smell (keep the door closed!). TV signal was appalling! I was travelling for business so I enjoy watching something when I'm away as I don't have to rugby tackle anyone for the remote! Kept freezing, very difficult to navigate channels and due to the bed being quite far away it was difficult to actually see what was on TV when it was working as was a smaller screen. Lastly the desk chair was very uncomfortable, it had clearly been used quiet frequently! All in all for a 1 night stay it wasn't terrible but if I had been able to swap hotels I would have but due to my late arrival this was not possible.

Convenient stopover hotel.

Nice place at a good price for central London. Comfortable bed, within a rather dated room - but nothing to adversely affect the stay.

Location was excellent but overall it was less than advertised. It is tired and in need of even a minor makeover. Carpets are old and stained and needs painting to bring it up to standards. Room cleaning staff was great.

Small cute Regency era converted house on border of Mayfair and Marylebone. Walkable to Marble Arch. Small breakfast room buffet and hot options. Nice lounge no bar but nice pub a few doors away. New Quebec Street round the corner, and Nobu Hotel worth visiting. Don’t expect large chain hotel. Great value

Small cute Regency House. Breakfast room, lounge. There isn’t a bar but few yards from pub on the corner and can recommend New Quebec Street round the corner. Twin room, which are get harder to find in London. It’s a converted house so don’t expect large chain accommodation. It’s located edge of Mayfair and Marylebone and walking distance to Marble Arch.

Street noise was disturbing during sleeping hours; breakfast room was intolerably warm. Otherwise we loved the walking distance to Oxford St, dining establishments, palace, parks, & theatre district (for those more ambitious walkers). Rooms are clean & big; bathrooms well stocked. Staff are polite & helpful.
