This is a beautiful quaint english hotel in a lovely area of London. Clean rooms, althought in typical European style, they are very small, but that's fine as they were comfortable. Really nice breakfast room with that homely feeling. Certainly would stay here again!

A wonderful small hotel in an exiting neighbourhood. The breakfast was very good, which you cannot always expect any more in British hotels.

Look elsewhere, avoid Hotel Gallery if you desire quality, service and quietness. Our stay was a nightmare from start to finish. First, we were not given an off-street room as requested. Second, water began leaking from the ceiling light-fixture over the bed during the first night. We were moved to an even noisier room. Early the next morning fire alarms began. There was no fire. Thankfully. We cut our stay short was not compensated but found a much better hotel. Other patrons were having problems, too.

Very very tiny rooms. Expensive compared to the size, but London isn't cheap in general anyway. The map should specify the street location a little better. There was another street with a very similar name, but it was a deadend. The hotel's street was only about 1 block away though, so it wasn't a big deal. Didn't really use the hotel for much more than to sleep and shower. They did let me check in a few hours early (my room was ready early). They also arranged my cab for departure and held my bags for the day until the cab arrived. Very nice overall and helpful staff. Great location too. Would stay there again.

We had a very pleasant stay, staff was very nice, welcoming and helpful. We had two rooms and both of them were very quiet and clean. The only improvement that could be done would be the extra bed we had for the kid (a bit old)

The location of The Gallery is wonderful and the hotel is very comfortable and nice. The room was small but not uncomfortable. We enjoyed our stay and will recommend it to others.

We enjoyed our stay very much, had a nice and quiet room. The location is excellent. The employees were friendly but gave us the impression that they were not really trained for their jobs, especially the ones who served breakfast. What we did not like so much was the music program in the breakfast room - opera and viennese waltz and all a bit too loud.

Perfect location for Fulham and Chelsea. The hotel is a short walk from the tube, ideal for those not familiar with London. The hotel is very tidy, grand and very pleasant to stay in.

Overall the hotel was fine apart from the noise level from outside in the evening. We had a room on the first floor which faced the road - it was extremely noisy from midnight until 2am. One other gripe, we booked a triple room and the third single bed was a camp bed - not what we expected fro the money and not very comfortable for a teenage child.

Room was too small for two people, expecially our bed. That's was the worst thing. The rest was good considering price and hotel's position.

Absolutely fabulous location, near museums, tube and Carluccio's. Great front and nice, small, 'clubby' lobby. Rooms small but cosy, although window pane was cracked. Appallingly disinterested and rude reception staff, who kept everybody waiting. I had booked a standard double through Venere.com but was told at check-in that only a small double was available; no price discount was offered! After a row, the booking was referred to the manager and a standard double was eventually found. Couldn't get a drink in the evening because the porter was off, so we were sent across the road to sister hotel (which wasn't as charming, although the staff were much nicer). If The Gallery could only get the front-of-house staff issue settled, it would be a cert for repeat visits, thanks to great location and price.
