Danny

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We stayed for one night and the location is fantastic — a very short walk to Gloucester Road Underground and easy to reach Kensington High Street and Kensington Gardens, with plenty of amenities nearby. The room was clean and functional, although quite small and only had space for one bedside table. Unfortunately, we were placed in a basement room between the lift and the breakfast room. The soundproofing was very poor and we were woken early by staff setting up breakfast. Our window also backed onto what seemed to be a generator or air conditioning unit that ran constantly throughout the night. Breakfast was okay. Overall, we would only recommend staying here if you are in a room away from the basement, as the rest of the hotel may offer a much better experience.

A nice hotel if you’re just looking for a standard room to sleep in before heading out to sightsee during the day. The room was pretty quiet, no traffic noise or anything like that. And it was warm and fairly clean. The bed was a bit uncomfortable but not too bad. And the hotel is really close to the tube station so really handy getting to local theatres and attractions and it’s also close to fast food and coffee shops and grocery stores
