Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, Clock Tower 5

Very grand old hotel in the middle of everything great. Public rooms offer a fabulous combo of by gone days coupled with modern amenities. My room was on the fourth floor, so evesy in the roof. Creaky wood panelled lift doesn't do justice to the well appointed room. The gym in LG is exceptional, well done Kimpton 👏

We chose the Kimpton Clocktower due to it being ideally located opposite Oxford Road Station and the venue we were visiting, so from that perspective it was perfect. It can be noisy due to the proximity of the theatre and nightlife. I had booked, unknowingly, an unallocated room, which turned out to be an accessible one. I had noticed this a couple of days before arrival, and on emailing was told I could pay to upgrade. On checking in they suggested this had been a free upgrade due to my membership, but then backtracked when I pointed out I had paid and said I would not have been eligible for a free upgrade. There was a similar confusion on checkout when it turned out that someone else had charged room service to my room. This was removed, but I never received the email receipt as promised. The hotel has tons of character and we loved finding out about its history and features. Breakfast was decent but they ran out of several items and were slow to replace them. The room was large and comfortable with high quality towels and toiletries. We would stay here again.
