I had a lovely time staying at this hotel. I arrived at 8am after a red eye flight, and to my luck my room was ready. I stayed in the room with the twin bed. It was small, but perfect for my solo trip. I had a great view of the Kensington Gardens. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Fantastic location too, a short walk from Notting Hill and Hyde Park. When I return to London, I will definitely stay here.

A perfect location in the city in a wonderful neighborhood. Affordable in comparison to other locations in the city, and perfect for a solo traveler. Lots of options for food nearby, however may be a bit warmer in non-colder weather. I had a great stay, and would stay here again if I could!

Room was clean and had a kettle with teabags and coffee sachets. It is close to a lot of shops and restaurants. We went to a lovely cafe called Charlie’s kitchen (I believe) which was lovely. It is a 5 min or less walk to the bayswater tube station and another minute to Queensway tube station from there. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Staff were really friendly. Desk is open 24 hours.

Great location, for walking, dining, and transportation. My only criticism, was the beds were hard as rock. Note there were no lifts in this particular hotel. Lots of stairs.
