Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located just a 4-minute walk into Kensington gardens, perfect for dog walks as my wife and I brought our golden retriever along. The rooms could use a bit more charm but are functional, with a bathroom featuring a bath and shower, 2 single beds pushed together, and a cramped kitchenette where we managed to prepare a few light meals. The service was welcoming and helpful, although we struggled with cold showers due to faucet temperature control issues. The central location made it easy to walk to local attractions, with a tube stop nearby for longer journeys. Dining options were available by order and within walking distance to the Metro. Overall, a great stay with some minor drawbacks.
I was really pleased with my stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, spacious, and super comfortable, with very handy kitchen facilities. The air conditioning was a bit tricky to adjust, but the beds were top-notch. The service was exceptional, with a 24/7 availability and a lovely touch of various coffees, fresh water, and apples. The location was ideal for exploring, especially with welcoming staff and easy access to public transport. The dining options were decent, and the facilities were great overall.
The hotel is conveniently located near Cromwell Road and Gloucester Road, just a short walk from Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond and providing a self-contained apartment experience. The location is ideal for exploring central London's attractions, though some confusion with the nearby tube stations was noted. Dining options were limited, but the organic products were a nice touch. Overall, a well-located hotel with some design improvements needed.
The hotel offers a mix of positives like great location and friendly service but could benefit from room improvements and better dining options. The cozy rooms would greatly improve with a fresh coat of paint. The staff is super helpful and even refunded part of our stay which was a nice touch. The location is fantastic surrounded by beautiful terraced houses and a short walk to popular sites. The dining options were a bit lacking in variety but the homemade muffins were a treat.
