Upon arrival, the receptionist was very polite and it was so quick to check in. The room was ideal for a solo traveller staying for one night. The room, wardrobe and shower room / toilet was all very clean with no complaints. The location was exceptional being such a short walk to Hyde park, Harrods, public transport

Great location, clean and comfortable.
This was my second visit to this hotel. I chose to return because of the location and overall pleasantness of the hotel. Staff is accommodating, rooms are clean (definitely on the small side, but what youd expect for central london), and the price is fair. This visit we had a room with a small balcony which was very nice! Breakfast was nothing special, bet adequate and plentiful. They will make espresso or cappuccino if you want t.

Blev placerade i källaren. Dålig isolation så hörde grannen prata som om han vore jämte mig. Mögel i hela badrummet. Kuddarna hårda som sten.
Väldigt trevlig personal dock men skulle aldrig rekommendera rummet.

4/10 Fair
Vi ankom kl. 14.50, selvom indtjekning først var fra kl. 15.00. Receptionisten måtte dog vente på, at vores værelse blev klar, og vi endte derfor med først at få vores nøgle omkring kl. 15.30.
Imens bemærkede vi, at receptionisten håndterede flere henvendelser fra gæster, som oplevede problemer med deres værelser – blandt andet manglede der strøm.
Da vi endelig fik værelset, fremstod det overordnet pænt, rengjort og indbydende. Desværre fandt vi papir/skrald i en skuffe i kommoden, og pengeskabet på værelset blinkede med “low battery”, hvilket gav et lidt mangelfuldt indtryk af klargøringen.
Ved udtjekning et par dage senere omkring kl. 10.00 opdagede vi, at der lå en større mængde opkast ved trappen på 1. sal. Vi gjorde receptionen opmærksom på det, men fik at vide, at rengøringspersonalet først møder ind kl. 11.00. Det undrede os, da vi mener, at sådan noget bør håndteres hurtigere af hensyn til både hygiejne og gæsternes oplevelse.
Samlet set var opholdet okay, men flere småting trak desværre helhedsindtrykket ned.

Great location.
Great location for Royal Albert Hall, Hyde park, and Kensington area. The hotel is very nicely presented. The downside for us was the small room.

Refurbishment continues at a good pace. My room was freshly done, quite lovely, and remarkably spacious. Staff was on hand to check me in, even long before normal check-in hours, and did not charge me a premium for early check-in (about 2 hours early). They had a little difficulty finding my prepayment record, but gamely continued searching the system until they found it. The location is absolutely stunning, half a block from Kensington Gardens and only a five-minute walk to the restaurants and shops on Kensington High Street. This hotel is an excellent quality for the price, and I will certainly stay here again.

Staff is super nice & helpful. The breakfast is excellent with a wide variety of buffet style offerings. Older building could hear the people upstairs walking around all night. Thankfully they were kind enough to move me to a quieter room. Carpets are worn in the room. Perfect location near Kensington Palace.

Great location near Kensington Palace. Nice old house. Pleasant personnel. Good (not amazing) breakfast. Everything in good/great condition except that the carpet in our bedroom needed to be replaced (old and dirty). Small room (par for the course).
