8/10 Very good

The staff were great & friendly. The hotel is charming and in a great location for sightseeing in Kensington and area. The room had everything I needed, it was nice to have a minifridge. The bed was super confortable and the bedding was warm. The bathroom was small but well laid out, my only complaint was the water pressure which affected the shower and toliet.

10/10 Exceptional

Honestly what a find in London. Lovely staff, hotel, room with all the amenities you need (including cotton pads & buds!) and a reasonably priced minibar! Just excellent! We also paid for breakfast which was similarly great - reasonable price for all you could eat buffet with a wide selection and attentive service. Close to 2 tubes, museums and a variety of places to eat. Will definitely be back.

Lovely stay, I stayed for 2 nights. And loved my stay! Location is perfect for London, very walkable area, tube super close by. And also the bed and room very so nice and cozy. I would stay here next time!

Reasonable and solid places to explore. 24hours open.
Takashi, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

good value, good location

I booked a single bed room for 2 nights. The room was quite small, however it was functional and comfortable. Almost like a cruise boat cabin. Although the hotel is on a busy street, my room faced the back so I did not hear much street noise. The location of the hotel is great - close to the tube, shops and restaurants.
lisa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Small but normal for that area of London. Very nice and well maintained and appointed. A lot of nice restaurants around the corner. Served a very nice dinner and breakfast.
Mark, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property was fine, but the entrance is challenging if you have luggage to carry up the stairs.
