6/10 Good

Blakes is very cool, but it is no longer a 5 star hotel, at least not the two rooms we saw. This is an expensive hotel that claims 5 stars. It is tired. The two rooms we were offered at our price (plenty), were a bit cramped for a couple, and again, tired (e.g. old paint, soiled carpets).

Have always wanted to stay at this stylish hotel and first boutique hotel in the world and I was thrilled with the entire experience.

Eine Oase des guten Geschmacks

Das Blakes ist eine Oase des guten Geschmacks - auf jeder Ebene - und optimal für Reisende, die Freude an stilvoller Einrichtung haben. Das Personal ist ebenso attraktiv wie freundlich und die Speisen waren alle sehr frisch sowie äusserst appetitlich zubereitet.

Blakes is beyond its prime. It was one of the first boutique hotels in London around 40 years ago but today it felt as if it was reminiscent of past glory. My first room was extremely small, noisy, and I had to bend me knees in order to fit under the shower. I paid for an upgrade and indeed I was given a very spacious and nice room. The deco however is out of date, the table lights are run down and in general the hotel is not comparable to new top end boutique hotels. The staff was indeed wonderful and very helpful and the restaurant and bar is great and is a happening place

Rymligt rum med lagom skraltiga och knarriga möbler. Dålig avrinning i badrum. Men en underbar atmosfär och ett riktigt härligt serviceteam. Förvånansvärt ätbar room service!

Ett av de trevligaste hotellen som finns!

Ett av de bästs hotellen i Europa. Frukost på rummet var sämre än vanligt, ingen kanna kaffe utan serverat direkt i koppen med påföljd att det hann bli ljummet innan det nådde rummet.

2/10 Poor

Money was taken from my room and, after informing the hotel, nothing was done to resolve the situation. Also, my bed was more of a day bed and each night I had to call to have it converted to a bed. I would not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel.
