“Just What We Wanted”
Ideal location very close to Marble Arch/Hyde Park. The room we had was comfortable, clean and we had more than sufficient room. It was located at the back of the Hotel which is quieter than the front so you can open windows for fresh air. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice including traditional English, along with cereals, fruit, cheese, bread, olives, choice of juices, tea, coffee etc.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
The location is close to Marble Arch Tube Station and provides good access to the rest of London sites. If like me, you enjoy jogging, Hyde Park is perfect first thing in the morning before Breakfast for a run! It is surprising how many other runners were in the park.
Would we go back to The Sumner- yes we would. A previous poster recommended the pub next door- we agree. After a hectic day in London it was ideal to sit outside ion relative peace with a drink. Source: Trip Advisor

“Great Location great value”
This hotel is located a few minutes away from Marble Arch and Oxford Streets and easy walking distance to many of London's attractions and shopping. The hotel almost unassuming from the exterior opens to a wonderful sitting area in the front and where free water, chocolates and internet access - the hotel also offers free wif-fi...Rooms were large, and the bathrooms modern, and came equiped with a mini-fridge, and ironing board, as well as a/c and king size beds - a great find in the smaller hotels in London. Breakfast is buffet but offers just about everything you could want, from sausagues to bacon, eggs and more...Hotel staff will recommend restaurants, make reservations and arrange just about anything you want.... At 155pounds per night it's a great deal for London.. We would return to the Sumner Source: Trip Advisor

“Wonderful Stay”
Loved this hotel, beautiful atmosphere and we felt at home. The staff were always available and were ready to make us a cup of coffee anytime (even at 2am). A big thank you to Maros who works at night, he was so friendly and always ready to assist us. The rooms were big enough, especially for London size rooms. Breakfast was nice, there was hot and cold food. The location was convenient, very close to Marble Arch. I would deffinately stay here again! Source: Trip Advisor

“a real little gem”
The Sumner Hotel is a real little gem. It si ideally located at the center of London and provides a nice unique atmosphere.
The room was spacious, clean, with a very nice bathroom. It is also very quiet in the room, and it is a rare thing in such a big city. The breakfast was delicious. Source: Trip Advisor

“My home away from home in London!”
This was my second time staying at the lovely Sumner Hotel. I was in town with 5 lovely ladies to attend the Chelsea Flower Show. We stayed at the Sumner Hotel based on my recommendation and everyone was very pleased.
The rooms are very nice, bathrooms are clean and modern. The daily breakfast is a delight, they even had marmite for me to try! We utilized the sitting room every evening.
The hotel is on a quiet street just a short walk to Marble Arch tube station, the HOHO tour bus stop and many restarants and pubs.
The front desk staff are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble, they are always cheerful and friendly.
I hope to return to London soon and willbe making The Sumner my home base again!
Thanks Sumner for making our stay in London so pleasant!! Source: Trip Advisor

“Very good deal on quiet street”
Stayed here for four nights. Great included breakfast, friendly staff. Slightly off the beaten path but close to all the sights. Good pub right next door,and several more restaurants and shops up the street on the way to Paddington Station, which by the way was a reasonable walk to the Heathrow Express at Paddington if you are so inclined.

“Boutique Hotel that really looks after it's guest”
After a long haul flight from New Zealand we arrived at the Sumner to discover that they did not have our booking (not their fault but ours!) they were fully booked for that night but could accommodate us the following night. The receptionist after some searching managed to find us another hotel for that night, we were so grateful. So although we only had one night at this hotel we would highly recommend it. Our room and all the other amenities were of a high standard, a comfy bed with quality linen ensured a good nights sleep and breakfast the next morning was more than substantial. This hotel is in a great location handy to many major attractions, Marble Arch Tube and Paddington Train Station. In our opinion these small boutique hotels are far superior to the bigger brand ones were you are often just a room number.

“perfect location”
This was a lovely boutique hotel. The staff, esp. the young man who worked at the desk at night, was very helpful.
I had a room in the 'basement'....one step outside my door and I turned right into the dining area for breakfast....never heard any noise....nice room.
Any wi-fi problems were quickly fixed, which was great to have! You are just a few blocks from the Marble Arch and the underground....there are also quite a few buses to catch in this area.
It was great to spend the day or evening out and then find a Pret a manger nearby for a quick hot tea or cappuccino.
The Middle Eastern restaurant and the grocery store across the street had delectable foods, esp. the awesome nougat candies! Source: Trip Advisor

“Fantastic small hotel in great location”
We stayed here for one night in July, and wanted somewhere close to the restaurants we were visiting on both the Tuesday evening and Wednesday lunchtime. I left it a bit late to book, so ended up paying more than I normally do but I have to admit it was well worth it.
The hotel is about 5 minute walk to Marble Arch/Hyde Park and the restaurants in Mayfair, and the same to Marble Arch tube station, leading to Oxford Road so a great location for what we wanted to do - we saved a fortune in taxi fares!
I loved the spacious room, which was very clean and had air con you could control. The bathroom was slightly small but lots of large fluffy towels, lovely shower and lots of nice toiletries.
We used the lounge a few times to relax in, and there is a computer and printer you can use. There is also free wifi throughout the hotel which was great for us. There were also free bottles of mineral water, kiddies sweets and kitkats which was great for an afternoon stop.
Overall, I really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely consider going back Source: Trip Advisor

“Smart Townhouse Hotel near Marble Arch” My husband and I stayed at The Sumner for 2 nights, early July and were very pleased with my choice of accommodation (yes, I researched here on Tripadvisor first, then shared options with my husband).
The Hotel is located in a side street within couple minutes walk of Marble Arch tube station. There's no big hotel sign on the building, just a discreet brass plaque next to the front door. Good choice of restaurants within a few minutes walk of the hotel.
Check-in was efficient and friendly and we were shown how the door keys work (they're slightly different to the usual hotel swipe keys). The interior is very smart and spotlessly clean; nice artwork in the lounge, where there was a computer for guests' use. There are two flights of stairs and two separate lifts to various bedrooms, as the hotel consists of two townhouses. Reception is located at the rear of the hotel, which was a bit confusing on arrival.
Our room (109) was on the 4th floor (lift available) and overlooked the road; it was very spacious by London standards, although the en-suite shower room was compact in comparison (according to my husband: seemed fine to me!). Furnishings looked brand new and towels were thick and soft. Nice touch to have complimentary bottles of mineral water in the room. Note: no tea/coffee facilities in the room, but you can order hot drinks from reception for a reasonable charge.
Breakfast is included in the room rate and is taken in the basement breakfast room, which is very light and bright. There's a good choice of fresh fruit, yoghurt, cheese board, bread and crackers, juices and hot dishes. Certainly enough for a good start to the day.
If you don't need indoor pool, spa, restaurant, room service etc, and are looking for a central location at a very reasonable price by London standards, The Sumner may well be the perfect hotel for your London stay. Source: Trip Advisor

“Beautiful Hotel”
We stayed here for one night on a Saturday for a family function nearby. We checked in about 4.30pm and the process was quick and painless.
Staff were very friendly and were brilliant about advising exactly where we were going, how long it would take and taxi prices.
The room was a very good size with all amenities within the room. Nice big bathroom with amazing shower! There was even a lighted side mirror near the sink!
We called the concierge for some help and they were very helpful and came back with an answer very promptly.
After the event we came back for drinks with some friends and the bar was great. Table service, nibbles and all in all the staff were very attentive. There were plenty of staff even at 3am so there was no eerie quiet hotel atmosphere. Someone was still there at that time to call the lift for us!
Generally we were very impressed and the only time we noticed at all there were works going on was when we actually saw them outside. Otherwise we had no knowledge at all.
Great hotel and as we got a deal on lastmin it was fantastic value! :-)
We love the grange hotel ranges and they have never dissapointed in the handful we have stayed at. Source: Trip Advisor

“Perfect location, perfect hotel, didn't want to leave!”
The staff of the hotel were helpful and friendly. They gave us good recommendations for restaurants and places to see. This hotel is conveniently located near an underground station, so traveling around London was simple! The rooms of the hotel are very clean and tidy. The beds are very comfortable, and we slept well. Breakfast in the morning was the perfect way to start the day. Eggs, sausages, fruits, vegetables, sweetbread and cereal are just some of the items served. I would not stay anywhere else!
The location of the hotel was good, a 3 minute walk to the Tower Hill tube station.
Best: Room!
Least: Elevators. Only two working and extremely poorly programmed. We had to wait for 5 minutes (average time) each time... Source: Trip Advisor
