Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had some issues with retaining heat in the rooms, making it uncomfortably warm even at night; however, the location was great for visiting Kensington Palace and the Science Museum. The service was a mix of threatening behavior but also great assistance when needed. The dining options were mediocre, and the rooms varied in size and quality.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms were tiny and not the cleanest, they did have good facilities, including an en suite bathroom. However, there was barely any space for clothes storage, which added to my existing anxieties about the room. The service was friendly and helpful, although there were some instances of staff taking breakfast without considering guests who hadn't eaten yet. The location was very convenient for exploring the city, with attractions like the Natural History Museum and V&A within walking distance. The dining experience was mediocre with limited choices. The big supermarket nearby was a plus for quick essentials.
The hotel has a convenient location, close to shops, restaurants, and Kensington Gardens. The rooms might be affected by noise from the nearby elevator. The service was friendly overall, though the manager declined a refund. Dining left much to be desired, with subpar breakfast options. The location is safe and ideal for exploring Kensington Palace.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic for visiting Kensington Palace and the Science Museum, but the room was small and cramped with minimal amenities. The service was a mix of helpful interactions and some disappointments. The dining experience fell short of expectations, but the staff did their best to make up for it. Overall, it's a decent option for a short stay in London.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient and easy to reach via the underground, being a short walk from Earls Court station. The rooms, however, were disappointingly small and not as advertised, with some issues like mold and unexpected extra charges at check-out.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were in desperate need of repair and a freshen up, but they initially looked OK with new paint and pictures. Unfortunately, my ground floor room faced a shisha bar playing loud music till 4 AM. On the bright side, it was warm inside.
