Small but beautifully formed
by A TripAdvisor Member
As a single woman who travels regularly to London, I felt very secure & comfortable here. My standard double room was small, fine for one but not for two people. It was romantically furnished with draping voiles, a fur throw & silk cushions and very clean. The staff were all helpful & friendly. The location is excellent, in the heart of Knightsbridge, but in a no-through road so you get a good night's sleep away from the traffic. I would recommend this hotel if you are tired of characterless chain hotels.
Worn out

My wife and I sayed here just before Christmas. The hotel is superbly located in Knightsbridge close to Harrods, but that is where the good news ends. Sure, it looks marvellous on the web site but the hotel needs a serious upgrade. Rooms are TINY. Cleanliness average.
One of the nicest hotels in the world

The Beaufort is a gem in the middle of London. Quiet, welcoming, clean, and personal, this hotel is an oasis in the midst of busy London. The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Knightsbridge--a stone's throw from Harrod's and lots of tourist attractions. But convenience is only one reason to choose the Beaufort, Warm, efficient service is another. Clean, quiet, comfortable rooms is another. Great karna and peace are two others.
For business travelers, tired of another busy, transactionally-based hotel, this is a real find. For leisure travelers, looking for a warm, charning base from which to explore London, this is a great bet.
Beaufort......do not stay in the basement
by A TripAdvisor Member
The Beaufort is a small hotel in a very nice location in central London. The place has been given a facelift recently, so it is quite pleasant. The rooms are well appointed and modern. However, the room you get is very important. One word of caution....DO NOT STAY IN THE BASEMENT!! The floors are thin as paper, the ceiling is very low (maybe 2.3M or 7 feet) and there is constant activity in the reception area over your head. Our friend stayed above ground level and said it was pleasant. Also, hotels in London are generally overpriced. You would expect the Ritz in the States for these prices, but this is just a small, relatively simple boutique hotel. One other plus; free wine and champagne all evening.
Pleasant stay

We stayed at the Beaufort last weekend for 2 nights. It is a very pleasant hotel and like another review said, the complimentary afternoon tea and drinks in the evening are a really nice touch if you have the time to take advantage, we didn't unfortunately.
We stayed in room 6, it was down a couple of steps from the entrance hall near the ladies toilet.
The room was very very small and it had an enormous bed, so that didn't help, I would say it should have been a single room. One step from the side of the bed and you were in the en-suite, which was a good size compared to the bedroom.
It was very difficult for my husband and myself to move around at the same time, so getting ready to go out was quite an effort, plus it was unbearably hot as the air con didn't seem to work, I had to take the front off the radiator cover to turn the radiator off.
There wasn't a dressing table in the room and the full length mirror was on the inside of the door to a tiny built in wardrobe, and I mean tiny, you would not be able to stay for any length of time as there's hardly any space for your clothes plus, and this one is more for the ladies, I found it really difficult to dry my hair because of the mirror/plug situation.
The room above us must have had wooden floors as we were woken both mornings at about 7am with people walking around.
The hotel was in a really convenient position and it was spotlessly clean and the staff were really friendly. I would stay there again but only if we guaranteed a different/much bigger room.
