Karyn's reviews
Karyn was a doll. She gave me several options of hotels but ultimately, based on Karyn’s recommendation, decided on this one … and it was definitely the right choice! Would work with Karyn for all my trips near & far.

I can’t say enough great things about both our experience at Hotel Xenia and working with Karyn, who planned the entire trip for us.
My husband has never been much of a traveler, and it took quite a bit of convincing to get him to come to London with me for a concert. But thanks to Karyn, who planned every detail with care, we ended up having an amazing time. She listened to everything I wanted, kept my husband's preferences in mind and made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable.
Originally, I had my eye on a different hotel, but it turned out to be under construction and not at all what I had imagined. Karyn quickly suggested a few alternatives, and I’m SO glad we went with Hotel Xenia. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, the bar was a perfect place to unwind, and our room – with a street-facing balcony – was exactly what I’d hoped for.
Thanks to Karyn’s expert planning and the warm hospitality at Hotel Xenia, we created memories we’ll never forget. Highly recommend both!
