It feels light, fresh and bubbly in the Ampersand, where smiling staff wear denims, waistcoats and ties rather than impersonal dark suits. The common rooms are colourful and airy, and the 111 stylish guest rooms are decorated with wallpaper designs celebrating the nearby arts and sciences of South Kensington's museums.
Deluxe studio 117 has two large windows looking to the street and a separate shower and toilet.
