"We liked everything about The Bailey’s. It’s elegant and our room was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and so helpful, especially the concierge. And a doorman opening the door for us every time? - such a lovely touch.
The breakfast was comprehensive and delicious, though it needed a few more gluten-free options.
Everything was clean and well-maintained. I especially liked the spectacular fresh flowers in the lobby and bar and the unusual orchid outside the lift bank on the ground floor.
The Gloucester Road tube station was right across the street, which was so convenient. And taxis were readily available.
A mobility-impaired traveler should check in advance whether there’s a handicapped entrance. There are about five steps up to the lobby, and while the doorman will carry luggage up, I’m not sure his services extend to carrying up guests! Also, we didn’t see a lift at the Gloucester Road tube station and it has several levels of long staircases. However, we didn’t ask about a lift there.
We would definitely return to The Bailey’s. It was recommended to us by a former Brit who now lives in Canada, but who returns frequently to the UK. We’re very happy we took her advice."
