Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a fantastic location, extremely close to Kensington High Street and the tube station, making it convenient for exploring attractions like Kensington Gardens and the Royal Albert Hall. The staff are friendly and efficient, offering a cocktail voucher and late check out during unexpected events. While the bar drinks upfront can be loud, the shabby furniture in places and small room size may not appeal to everyone.
The hotel is centrally located near Hyde Park, shops, and metro station, making it ideal for exploring the city. The rooms are cozy but a bit cramped for two people. The service was welcoming and helpful, though a momentary inconvenience occurred with room access. The dining options, while basic, offered a simple morning selection. The convenient location near Royal Albert Hall is a plus, with easy access to the park for leisurely strolls.
The hotel is in a prime location, perfect for visiting the Royal Albert Hall and other nearby attractions. The rooms are small but clean and functional, with excellent air conditioning for warm summer nights. The service was polite and attentive. The dining was basic, with room for improvement. Overall, a convenient choice for a weekend in central London.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were clean and very comfortable, offering a cozy space for a pleasant stay. The service was exceptional, with incredibly helpful and friendly staff always ready to assist. The location was ideal for exploring the area, with shops and restaurants right at the doorstep. However, the dining options were limited, and the space felt a bit cramped at times.
The hotel had a compact room but made good use of space. It was clean and tidy, which made the stay enjoyable. The location was excellent, near many attractions and close to public transportation. The dining experience was basic but sufficient for a good start to the day.
The hotel was warm and comfortable, albeit a bit small. It was well presented and clean, but starting to look a bit tired for a 4-star hotel. The location was excellent, right on the high street with shops and restaurants at the doorstep.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although beautifully furnished with two bedrooms, were a bit noisy as they are located in the roof of the building, and accessing them required navigating another flight of stairs. The price at around £70 a day seemed reasonable beforehand.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms, although a bit small for two people, were clean and of high standard, providing great value. The service was supportive and friendly, although there was a slight fluster about a linen issue. The location was perfect, close to stores, restaurants, and the underground station, offering a convenient base for exploring. The dining experience was good overall, with very helpful and polite staff.
The hotel's location is amazing, just opposite Kensington Gardens and Kensington Palace, making it perfect for exploring Hyde Park, Royal Albert Hall, and other nearby attractions. The rooms, although well-furnished, are on the smaller side with limited lighting for grooming. The service went above and beyond, with thoughtful room decorations and friendly support. The dining experience was basic but convenient, with some disappointments in the quality of breakfast offerings. Overall, a great choice for a central London stay, especially for Royal Albert Hall visitors.
