10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely delightful 19th century style English hotel with period decoration in the rooms and excellent amenities. Comfortable robes, lovely soaps and shampoo, clothing steamer, refrigerator, tea pot, and - much welcome - a US style outlet in the bedroom alongside the UK outlets, which allowed me to use my hair curler which would not function even with my adapter in the UK outlet. The staff was lovely, and the breakfast was outstanding. Big, generous and tasty full English with endless pots of tea! The location can't be beat: within walking distance of one top level museum after another. I can't say enough good things about this hotel."

"My wife and I stayed at the Rembrandt for 11 nights while visiting London and vicinity. Our room was large, spotless and nicely updated. The room faced the street but was exceptionally quiet. Bed was very comfortable. English breakfast provided enough options to satisfy. We found the staff to be professional, friendly and helpful. Very close to museums, a variety of restaurants and an easy walk to the tube. We would not hesitate to stay here again."

"The room is clean and big. However the toilet flush was not working properly but they tried to fix it but can't be done straightaway. Staff are very helpful. There was a lot of food choices during breakfast but I am not really a breakfast person. So I just enjoy having coffee and bread and fresh fruits. Love the swimming pool. Location wise I personally .chose to stay here for some appointments that I have around this area"
