Overall, this is the hotel for you if you want to live in cute quaint house in Notting Hill, and not in a soulless high rise hotel. The aesthetics are definitely the draw card here. If this isn't your main concern, then there are other better options. See my list of pros and cons:
Pros:
*The room is very cute. Feels like living in a period drama. High ceilings with big windows for views and lots of natural lighting.
*Service was good and proactive.
*The street the hotel is on is like a cul de sac. It is very cute. The hotel makes you feel like you actually live in London rather than simply in a hotel. The street felt safe and quiet.
* Large closest for putting away clothes.
* The bed was really large.
Cons
* Location was okay but not as convenient as other places I've stayed at. Notting Hill station is a 10 min walk from the hotel and supermarket and pharmacy is also about a 10 minute walk.
*Shower was way too small, even as a petite female. I had to dry myself in the bedroom as no space.
* The property is old and so you would often hear doors closing and people talking through the walls, which would disturb sleep
* Although there is someone manning the desk near the front door at all times, there is no pin or lock or security to open the front door and so strangers could just enter the hotel. No security in the hotel as far as I am aware other than the concierge person
*The bed mattress was too soft and my entire body sank into the bed, which caused some muscle aches.
