Ten Manchester Street Hotel, Marylebone, London – England

By jenn

Ten Manchester Street Hotel Brownstone

 Something about Boutique Hotels I truly appreciate.  The big chain hotels are always nice, but this hotel speaks to intimacy.  This hotel maintains 45 elegantly appointed bedrooms and I had the opportunity to stay in one of them.  The hotel staff were very courteous and always willing to help.  I stayed here after a week trip to India and decided to stopover in London for a few days.  This hotel was nicely situated in a posh area known as Marlyebone.  Oxford Street shopping was literally 2-3 blocks down the road.  What I truly appreciate were the short blocks to dining/shopping, unfortunately my flight got canceled after thinking I would be in London for only 2-3 days.  I had to then extend my stay for another 2 days, but I had no trouble finding things to do and meandering around the wonderful city. 

Outside Hotel

 
During the month of December, temperatures were in the 10′s/20′s, weather conditions in which an LA native is definitely not used to.  However, this hotel had heated bathroom floors and heated towel posts.  It was nice to take a hot shower and still feel warm, with a heated towel.  The room was very chic/shabby.  Bed was unbelievably comfortable and might I add, equivalent to our Starwood Hotels – “heavenly bed.”   The amenities offered in the bathroom were sufficient for me to not have to go out and buy more from the local drug store. 
 
Since my flight was canceled and I had to extend my stay here, I had a lot of room time.  I felt safe and the walls/windows were thick enough to not hear any noise from other rooms or outside.  The room was very cozy and might I add very clean.  I couldn’t find a spot of dust anywhere.  I would definitely rate this hotel 10/10 stars.
 
 
 
 
If I were to travel back to London, I would definitely like to stay here again.  This hotel was definitely a Jenn style!
  • Hotel Ambience: Chic/Contemporary
  • Hotel Staff: welcoming/courteous and helpful
  • Hotel Amenities:  Impeccable (check it out for yourself)
  • Cleanliness of Hotel:  very clean.
  • Overall Experience:  A must stay.  No complaints and thoroughly enjoyed my time in the town and its surroundings. Nicely situated w/ plenty of shops and eateries. Easy to access the tube to check out the London Big Eye/Picadilly Circus, etc.
