Dear Hendrik Moritz,Thank you for your thoughts. As you may have noticed we do not have A/C. We have had the blankets verses duvets debate many times in previous reviews. During the hot weather in summer, (even with supplied fans) we believe that guests are more comfortable with single sheets rather than duvets. Blankets, bedspreads and sheets offer more layers than duvets that enable controlling body heat easier throughout the year.

Dear Christine,Thank you for your positive review and for mentioning that our rooms are "rather old". It's not only the rooms but the whole hotel is nearly 200 years old and some of our staff are a bit doddery.

Dear Stefan,We are happy that you gave us a positive award even though the absence of text leaves a lot to one's imagination.

Dear Carola,Thank you for your review. We appreciate you mentioning the "clean room and bath". Our complimentary breakfast is quite popular so if you arrive early there is plenty of space.

Dear Anonymous,Thank you for your review which gave us absolutely no ideas as to what you think of us.

Dear Ringo,Thank you for your review which leaves room for speculation. Taking a back seat and keeping a beat allows to you leave the rhythm and wordsto the others who need to be heardamongst adoring fans and unbridled adulation.amongst the

Dear Nisha,Happy New Year! As our last reviewer of 2023 we are grateful for your maximum award.

Dear Petra,Thank you for your review which offered some economic theory as well as compliments about our breakfast and location.

Dear Andreas,You appear to have the same fascination in the star ratings that The previous review has. The star ratings are awarded by each individual company depending on their own criteria. There have been times in the past where The AA refused to award star ratings to hotels that didn't have a restaurant! Until the time comes when there is one set of criteria that encompasses all agents there will always be differences just like there are differences in reviews. Some establishments suite some better than others. Expectations are usually the determining factor so its best to do some research to avoid disappointment. The difference between buffet and cooked to order is pretty self explanatory and I know which I would prefer.

Dear Jasmin,Thank you for your review which mentioned that the toilet didn't flush properly. The question is why didn't you mention it when you were staying here? We have "wise men" who look forward to problems.

Dear Carmen,Thank you for your positive award.

Dear Waldemar,Thank you for your encouraging award.

Dear Markus,Thank you for your maximum award and nice words. We look forward to entertaining you in the near future.

Dear Klaus,We are delighted that you enjoyed your visit. Thank you for your award.

Dear Sven,Thank you for your positive review.

Dear Ralf,Thank you for your complimentary comments about the staff, location and porridge. Your room was a standard single room. Larger rooms are available for a moderate increase. I would like to offer you an explanation as to the condition of our hotel. We spend a great deal of time and effort in maintaining our hotel within budgetary constraints. We have excellent security, premium WiFi and high levels of cleanliness and customer service. Our heating and hot water is reliable. Your view that our condition is "mediocre" is regrettable. We agree entirely that our hotel can benefit from a major refurb but we have a loyal customer base that would rather pay less and enjoy what we have to offer than pay more for superficial enhancements.

Dear Renate,Thank you for calling us "cute" and "well located". We are also grateful for mentioning the "lovely, friendly and helpful staff". We look forward to seeing you again and hopefully, squeezing an extra star out of you.

Dear Karin,Thank you for your review. A twin bedded room is what you asked for and this is what you received. Thank you for mentioning the "clean bathroom" the comfortable beds and the "friendly staff".The complimentary breakfast offered include porridge, cornflakes, jams, honey and a cooked breakfast with fresh tomatoes and mushrooms. We feel that your "zero variety" comment is a little harsh considering that our breakfast is included in the price of the room that many guests are delighted with.

Dear Miriam,Thank you for your kisses but I would prefer a few words of what is going on in that romantic head of yours?

Dear Daniela,Thank you for understanding what we are about and for taking the time to post your satisfaction.

Dear Markus,Thank you for your super review and maximum award. Much needed after unhappy previous reviews.

Dear Yannik,Thank you for your feelings following your recent visit. Any maintenance issues are always dealt with by our team. The trick is to let the reception know. If you are a realist then you should know that hotel rooms in great locations are not as large as those in outer areas due to real estate prices.

Dear Stephanie,Thank you for seeing what we are trying to achieve and for giving us your approval.

Dear Martina,Starting the day "with a nice walk" in Hyde Park is one of the lovely things that our guests enjoy to start the day. Thank you for your kind words.

Dear Timo,Thank you for your review. Sounds like you expected to stay in a glitzy gin palace and ended up in a Victorian boarding house. Best do your homework to avoid disappointment in future.

Dear Sarah,Thank you for your positive award. We are most certainly "old". Thank you for reminding us. Mitre House Hotel, London est. 1962. Buildings were built in The Victorian era.

Dear Franz Klaus,Thank you for you minimalist review which says it all just like a film noir set behind the Iron Curtain.

Dear Boris Mario,Thank you for your positive review which highlighted the location.

Please look at the review below and delete one of them as they are duplicated.

Dear Marie,Thank you for taking the time to post your review. It appears your visit was littered with unfortunate events for which we apologise. Unfortunately, we cannot go back in time to investigate as you neglected to say anything during your visit.Instead of seeking instant results by informing us of your concerns you made some alarming and rather broad generalizations which are not worthy of comment.

Dear Nicole,Thank you for your review.

Dear Matthias,Thank you for your review which left more questions than answers??????????

Dear Tom,Thank you for your review and positive award. Just one thing about the window limiters in family rooms. This is a Health and Safety measure that we follow to avoid accidents. We feel that this is a necessary measure. Fans are supplied in all rooms to aid air circulation.

Dear Isabell,Thank you for your thoughts about "price-performance equations. Sounds like an economics theory. Still, we are grateful for your positive thoughts and lovely score.

Dear Monika,As an individual traveller your wonderful review brings music to our ears. It highlights the whole idea of hospitality which we feel has been lost in recent times. To "feel welcome, safe and in good hands" is exactly the feeling we hope our guests have at The Mitre House Hotel.

Dear Jana,Thank you for taking the time to review us. Its a pity that its somehow lost in translation. The English breakfast that you complain about is included in the price of the room so at least you aren't suffering too much.

Dear Anette,Thank you for your review. Your main complaint regarding the breakfast has now been remedied. Since yesterday 27th September 2022 we have reverted to serving English breakfast on site that was halted because of the pandemic. Your other point about the star ratings has been discussed by me before. The influence of The AA and The RAC have been superseded by the On-line travel agents who have their own ideas what constitute hotels in each star category. The AA shot themselves in the foot years ago by insisting that any hotel in London that had aspirations to become a three star hotel must have a restaurant on-site led to confusion .These days OTAs have far greater influence and have their own ideas of what a three star hotel should offer. Thank you for bringing up your points and hope that you are satisfied with the reply.

Dear Verena,Thank you for your positive review.

Dear Mr Heinz,Why are we not surprised to see your interest in breakfasts. We are going to revert back to English breakfasts on site soon.

Just like Arnie!Thank you Melanie for remaining loyal to us even though we have had to outsource our English breakfast at weekends. We fully intend to bring it back on site at some point.

Dear Susanne Marie, Its great to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We are grateful for your maximum award and look forward to your return visit.

Dear Alla, Thank you for your maximum award. English breakfast is served over the weekends. The rest of the week we serve a continental breakfast.

Dear Stefan, Your review mentions that you felt comfortable with us and we can't ask for more than that.

Dear Felix, Thank you for your nice review and 4 out of 5 score. We welcome your kind assessment of "value for money" and good location.

Dear Tobias, We are thrilled that you have given us your endorsement following your recent visit.

Dear Manuela, Thank you for your review mentioning the clean room and the good location. During the busy weekends we offer a full English breakfast included in our rates which can be taken at our Raffles Diner a couple of minutes walk from the hotel. For most guests this is preferable to a continental breakfast that we serve at the hotel the rest of the week. Finally, we have inspected your room in the basement and find it quiet. Perhaps when you were here you could have let us know what it was that disturbed you. Thank you for taking the time to post our review.

Dear Dieter, Thank you for taking the time to post your comprehensive review. From time to time mechanical things do break down and we have taken steps to remedy it. Safety deposit boxes are available next to the reception desk and are freely available. The weather in London is temperate and fridges are not the norm unless they are a mini bar. Our hotel fridges can be used by guests should they require cold storage. Thank you for mentioning the "friendly staff" and the cleanliness.
