We enjoyed our four night stay at the Gainsborough. We stayed in a budget room down the stairs and it was very comfortable. Lovely large shower and decent sized bedroom. The area is lovely. A quick walk to the Natural history museum and plenty of restaurants to choose from. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved the Gainsborough Hotel! The staff was friendly and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was delicious. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect, just a short walk or underground ride from every where we wanted to visit. With the numerous restaurants, pubs, shops and museums close by the location could not be better!

Really nice place to stay. Clean, updated, perfect location to see the sights. If I’m gonna be picky, the shower was too small. I’m an average sized person and I barely fit. However, you don’t visit London to shower!
