Very nice hotel. Incredible staff. Not very centrally located close to "touristy" areas, but a 2 minute walk to the tube that connects you to everything. Honestly, i would stay again.

Excellent value hotel for a short stay
Very good hotel for a one night stay. The room was well maintained, with a comfortable bed and was quiet. I slept very well. There was a good shower. Breakfast was fairly basic, but fine and was free of charge because the lift was broken. Overall excellent value

TRACY

Very friendly and helpful staff, we arrived early and were able to leave our bags while we went to start exploring. When we checked in our bags had been taken to our room ready for us. Unfortunately the lift was out of order but the staff were very apologetic and gave us complimentary breakfast for the inconvenience. The room and bathroom were very clean and the room was basic but had everything we needed - we were only really in it to sleep. It was very convenient for Harrods and the Royal Albert Hall. There are bus and train stops/stations a couple of minutes walk away, so ideally placed but without the constant noise you get when you stay more centrally. I would be happy to stay again in the future.

The best in hospitality.
This was my second stay and all the staff were hospitable and made my stay very pleasant. I was disappointed that the temperature in the room was not adjustable and it was a little cold. However, the service is really top notch and well worth the stay.

I thought it was nice for what i wanted. I was able to walk to the museums i wanted to see and it is close to the tube station so it was easy to reach other parts of London. There were restaurants close by.

This was a gem of a hotel in a very desireable area of London. I felt very cozy in my single bed room that had a lovely renovated bathroom, a kettle and milk, tea and coffee and a TV.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was the smallest double room we have ever stayed in, the bathroom door could not be fully opened because the bed was in the way, there was only one bedside cabinet and the room was barely adequate for two people. The bed was clean and comfortable and the breakfast adequate but even for Kensington the value for money was 3:10. will not be staying there again.
