Our stay at the Franklin was outstanding - beautiful room, and a lovely hotel. Service was impeccable and staff could not have been more helpful. Service at breakfast was a little slow, but I think this more due to the late hour that we dined than anything else. I did also find it a little odd the amount of times I had to give my credit card details as there weren't any charges aside from the room cost - online, on arrival and then on check-out. But these are very minor things in an otherwise faultless experience at a spectacular hotel.

Great little bar and very welcoming staff. The hotel is situated on a lovely backyard and it all feels very homey. We will definitely be back to review the restaurant and dinner, as well as the rooms. From a design point of view, we were definitely very impressed.Location wise, perfect for hotel guests to access a number of museums, Harrods, Hyde Park, tube etc. while sleeping in a quiet street.

Small and stylish boutique hotel, staff were mostly great, charming and well intentioned. Our room was a good size, it overlooked a pretty garden square. Unfortunately the hotel let itself down on a few key areas that suggest it may be more style than substance, for example heating system was not able to maintain a constant temperature with nights getting very hot, a number of the blinds and curtains were broken and the breakfast wasnt great, missing a few basics like butter and normal condiments on both days we were there. We had a particularly unpleasant experience at 1am on the night before check out with the night staff insisting we pay part of our bill then and there, which was not something Id experienced at a quality hotel before.All in all, it looks great but misses the mark on some of the basics of great hospitality. For the money Id suggest a more traditional 5* peer in the area.
