Comments from past clients:

"Ten Thousand thank-yous for introducing me to The Cranley in London.  It was absolutely perfect and will always be my first choice among London hotels."

"...perfection....The best....staff so attentive and nice, red carpet treatment"

"On behalf of my wife and myself, I wanted to express my sincere appreciation to you and The Cranley Hotel.  The beautiful room we were in was perfect and Moe was a delight, was always very helpful, and a 5 star gem!  I am deeply appreciative of your extra effort to make our vacation special."

"We loved The Cranley, what a neat location with all of the neighborhood places and bistros.  The staff made us feel right at home!"

"We cannot begin to tell you how pleased we were with our accommodations.  The staff was most gracious and pleasing, the front desk was a very lively and happy place- not the usual polite but stiff treatment of most concierges."

"A lovely stay at The Cranley, it is so charming and the location is terrific!   Everything is literally around the corner."

"The Cranley Hotel was wonderful as well as your expert care of all details of which made everything so easy!  The hotel is so accessible to the Picadilly Line which is filled with enticing places to pick up some fresh fruit or a full meal.  The Cranley staff are very cordial."  

"...what a magnificent time my family and I had at the Cranley...the apartment suite was unbelievable swell....we took lots of pictures for our scrapbook."

"... stayed at the Cranley last week and loved it.  Thank you so much...."

"...I would like to put in a very positive letter about The Cranley.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is one of the most charming hotels I've ever stayed at. The location is ideal. It is right near Gloucester Rd. tube station, a laundry mat, dry cleaner, restaurants, etc. The rooms are large and beautiful. The staff has been very kind and helpful. They seem genuinely interested in you which gives the place a very mom and pop bed and breakfast feel. Breakfast is served to you in your room in the morning (and is excellent). Guests gather around the lobby fireplace every day for tea and then later for complimentary champagne and finger foods. I would highly recommend The Cranley to any and anyone else who might be traveling to London.   Thank you all for your help.

"I had to trust Bonnie's suggestion that the Cranley and it's staff would eradicate my concerns.  And she was right. The room was beautiful. It was perfect.  I am deeply appreciative of the professional and responsive way you dealt with a difficult situation.  You made the extra effort to make our vacation special.  I now realize your knowledge of London mad an important contribution to our week there."

"It far surpassed my expectations."

" We recently spent four days in London and the Cranley and I want you to know that it was a great experience.  The hotel definitely lived up to your recommendation.  The staff was very helpful, the room was beautiful and the location perfect.  Thanks so much for the recommendation and help.  We look forward to working with you in the future."

"We can't say enough great things about the Cranley (we landed two hours after the terrorist attack-July 12th). The rooms were wonderful, the breakfast, tea and scones, champagne and the concierge's recommendations. We took the concierge to dinner, we liked him that much!"

"The Cranley Hotel was gorgeous and smack bank in the middle of everything that we needed. Thank you so much for arranging the upgrade too! That really was very kind of you indeed." 3/09

"Our hotel was AWESOME! They upgraded us to a suite (#508) and it had a huge bed, a sitting area, office area, huge bathroom with heated floors, double sink and a heated towel rack. Oh, we also had a private patio area.  Everyday from 4-6 they offer free tea and warm delicious scones and from 7-8 they have appetizers and champage for free.  We made it back for tea twice.  The staff is super friendly and the hotel is really pretty." 10-09
