Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located just a 4-minute walk into Kensington gardens, perfect for dog walks as my wife and I brought our golden retriever along. The rooms could use a bit more charm but are functional, with a bathroom featuring a bath and shower, 2 single beds pushed together, and a cramped kitchenette where we managed to prepare a few light meals. The service was welcoming and helpful, although we struggled with cold showers due to faucet temperature control issues. The central location made it easy to walk to local attractions, with a tube stop nearby for longer journeys. Dining options were available by order and within walking distance to the Metro. Overall, a great stay with some minor drawbacks.
I was really pleased with my stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, spacious, and super comfortable, with very handy kitchen facilities. The air conditioning was a bit tricky to adjust, but the beds were top-notch. The service was exceptional, with a 24/7 availability and a lovely touch of various coffees, fresh water, and apples. The location was ideal for exploring, especially with welcoming staff and easy access to public transport. The dining options were decent, and the facilities were great overall.
The hotel is conveniently located near Cromwell Road and Gloucester Road, just a short walk from Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond and providing a self-contained apartment experience. The location is ideal for exploring central London's attractions, though some confusion with the nearby tube stations was noted. Dining options were limited, but the organic products were a nice touch. Overall, a well-located hotel with some design improvements needed.
The hotel offers a mix of positives like great location and friendly service but could benefit from room improvements and better dining options. The cozy rooms would greatly improve with a fresh coat of paint. The staff is super helpful and even refunded part of our stay which was a nice touch. The location is fantastic surrounded by beautiful terraced houses and a short walk to popular sites. The dining options were a bit lacking in variety but the homemade muffins were a treat.
The hotel is set in a convenient location, despite being on a busy London road. The rooms, although smaller than expected, were booked. The service was friendly and accommodating, despite some issues with cleaning cupboard access. The location is superb for accessing key attractions easily. Dining options were basic but enjoyed.
The hotel location is great and modern, perfect for visiting the Natural History Museum. The rooms felt a bit dirty and cramped for a group of three, but they had double-glazed windows and good facilities. The service was extraordinary, with friendly and helpful staff, although some seemed new to the area. The multilingual service was a plus. Dining was available by order, promptly delivered, and satisfactory. The hotel lacks dining service in the morning. The facilities were good overall.
The hotel is situated in a lovely area of Kensington with easy access to shops, bars, and restaurants. The rooms are cozy and clean, although they could benefit from some updates. The service was friendly, but there were missed opportunities to provide more information about the amenities. The location is excellent for exploring Central London attractions. Dining options are not available on-site, but there are convenient choices nearby for meals. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel was in a wonderful location, close to Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Gardens, with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were large, well-appointed, and quiet, but there was a delay in accessing them. The service was helpful and informative but lacked a bit of personal touch. The hotel's proximity to must-go attractions and ease of access to public transportation made it a top choice. Dining options were limited within the hotel, but the surrounding area offered plenty of choices. Overall, a great experience with a few minor inconveniences.
Staying at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were perfectly clean and tidy, but quite small and lacking some essential furniture like night tables. The service was generally friendly and helpful, except for one staff member who was rude. The location was convenient, with popular London attractions within walking distance, but some areas could be improved. The dining options were adequate but could use some enhancements. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were perfect throughout my stay, but there were some noise disturbances one night. The cleanliness was relatively good, although I wished for a small sink in the room for convenience.
