“Meet a gentleman in a wonderland.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW via mobile

It was magical dreamy days in 40WiNKS. All rooms in this hotel are very insane and very beautiful, it likes wonderland!! A bed and sofa are very soft, I could sleep and nap very well... Bathroom is different with Japanese style but it's nice, I had relax bath time. I cooked in the beautiful kitchen!! Mr Carter is very kind... More

“The one hotel you will not forget”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 June 2013

Do NOT book a room at 40WINKS if you.... - want all the usual, but trivial, services of a standard business hotel - cannot live without a shower - appreciate the feeling of being anonymous - prefer not to spend psychic energy to remember where you stayed in London - do not like to abandon your shoes immediately after entering...

“Magical Hotel. Magical Host.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2013

From the moment I arrived, David was charming, kind and generous. He greeted me at the door and immediately offered me a warm cup of tea. Guest need to take their shoes off at the front door, such a respectful Japanese sensibility. I immediately felt at home. The hotel is stunning and so wonderfully unique and quirky. If you appreciate... More

“Magic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2013

My mum has an amazing ability to book unique experiences as presents for people. This Christmas she booked a night at Forty Winks as a gift for me and my boyfriend. I don't know how she discovered this incredible boutique hotel but she's going to have trouble topping this present next year. After spending the day around London we knocked... More

I haven't stayed at 40 Winks, just made an enquiry about the tarrif, as I am looking for a special birthday treat for two very special friends. His reply was warm, informative and concerned to make sure that it would be suitable for them - given the details I provided him with. Thank you, thank you. No wonder you have... More

“Top hat and tales”

I live in East London, but I went to 40 winks for a little holiday. I had arranged a surprise for my girlfriend, who only had the address of 40 winks, and no other information. I went earlier in the day to meet David and we talked so much I completely forgot time. David is a gentleman and he has... More

“The perfect escape”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2013

Visitors don't "stay" at 40 winks, they experience it. I went to London to escape the monotony of daily work and life. I wanted intimate experiences where I could connect with new people, creative atmospheres where I could feel recharged and, if possible, a decadent night's sleep. I had all of those experiences at 40 winks and more. Not only... More

“Mr. Carter's Wonderland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2013

40 Winks truly deserves what magazines write about it. It is London's loveliest boutique hotel and probably one of the most outstanding and beautiful small hotels I have stayed in. I planned a very different and unique surprise for my girlfriend (now fiance) and 40 Winks fully delivered my expectations. Almost hidden like a treasure and very inconspicuously situated on... More
