A former patient of the same private hospital where Kate Middleton is being treated has shared it's like a five-star luxury hotel.

Asad Ashraf, 64, spent one night in the London Clinic in March 2022 and compared it to the Ritz.

His stay cost £4,000 - covered by insurance - featured plush bedding, gourmet food and silver service.

The Princess of Wales is staying at the Marylebone Hospital following abdominal surgery.

Asad, a retiree, said the entire experience was "luxurious" and it is fit for royalty.

Kate Middleton's hospital is like 'the Ritz'

The dad-of-two from Hounslow, west London, said: "My stay was incredible.

"Even if you're only there for a day, they really treat you fantastically.

"You'd expect it because of their reputation.

"I had no complaints at all and I shouldn't imagine Kate would either - but then, she's probably used to staying in places like that!"

Asad went to the hospital for a planned abdominal procedure as he wanted treatment from a specific specialist working there.

He was discharged the following day and saw his treatment as "an overall smooth experience".

Over his one-night stay, he saw people cater to his every need, sharing: "The room was well-kitted and air-conditioned with an extra fan. It had a big TV with all Sky channels.

"The furniture was posh, made from real birch, and mahogany, and it had leather chairs.

"The bathroom had high-quality toiletries and Egyptian cotton towels.

"The ceiling even had stars on like the night sky.

"I drank a pot of tea from a China cup and saucer with posh biscuits too."

In terms of food, Asad said he was offered salt and pepper squid, steamed ginger sea bass, wild mushroom risotto and truffle fries.

Asad said: "There was a concierge and food was available round the clock at a price for guests.

"I didn't want much food after my surgery, but if you're there for a long period of time like Kate, it would be very nice."

Asad added: "You can compare a stay at The London Clinic to The Ritz or another five-star hotel."

Buckingham Palace announced last week that Kate had undergone successful abdominal surgery.

She was expected to stay in the hospital for up to two weeks while she recovered.
