HAM Yard Hotel, Firmdale Hotels

We spent 5 nights at Ham Yard in July and loved it. Check-in: The reception staff was great and super-efficient. We were traveling with 12 people and had 6 rooms. We had 20 pieces of luggage shipped ahead of time. It was all sorted and waiting for us on arrival and we were able to check-in early to our rooms. Staff: All the staff were great. They all seemed to know us and were always asking how we were and how our stay was going. Location: We found the location to be very convenient for us. We were able to walk to shops, bars, restaurants, the pharmacy etc., all within a few blocks. Spa/Gym: We did not visit the spa, but we went to the gym each morning. The gym was a good size and always clean. They had several cardio machines, free weights and machines and it never felt crowded. They also provided filtered water which was nice. Food/Room Service: We ordered room service our first night ate on the 4th floor on the patio. The waiters looked after us the entire time and got us anything additional we needed during our meal, so it felt like we were in the restaurant. Everyone was happy with the food during our stay. Room: I had luxury junior terrace suite on the 4th floor, and it was perfect. The room and bathroom were a good size, and there was a decent amount of closet space. I saw the regular rooms as well and they were also a pretty good size. Amenities: They have a full bowling alley in the basement which was very cool, and the kids loved it. Overall, we loved the hotel and service and will definitely stay again when we come back to London.

We went for a Gin cocktail evening to the Roof top bar. A lovely and nice setup on an autun evening. The drinks were good and the service was good. We tried the gin cordial, martinez, gibson and enjoyed them all. Lovely rooftop. I am told it is ususally only open for resident guests.
