Nice hotel right outside Oxford Road station. Staff were great, with a friendly welcome and a free glass of wine or a beer, just what was needed after a long trip to get there! Rooms were clean and spacious with tea, coffee, fresh milk and even a little chocolate bar in the room. The whole experience felt much more personal than the usual big brand hotel chains 👍

Great welcome by the hotel employees, friendly and very helpful. The room was nice, clean and cozy. Breakfast was good with a lot of choices. Bar was nice to sit in the evening and good to see it’s being used. Had a great stay and only comment would be around the rooms wasn’t sound proofed, but is not an issue, just an observation.
Verified review

6/10 Good

We love the kimpton clocktower, the history the building, the staff are all great. The only thing letting down out visit this time was the breakfast - it could be described at best as like warm which is very disappointing as it’s not cheap at £22 per person. We could have walked down the road and had a freshly cooked breakfast that would be hot cheaper. We will be back but might skip breakfast next time.
