It was fine for the 1 night that i stayed. The staff was friendly and helpful. Lugging my suitcase up 4 flights of stairs was NOT fun. The room was so small, there was no place to even put my suitcase and open except on the bed. Overall, it was acceptable

We had the most wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was absolutely amazing and kind and helpful. The room was comfortable in the location could not have been better. It was walkable to restaurants, and of course, Kensington Gardens. We even walked all the way to Kensington Palace. it was a wonderful day. Highly recommend.

Clean and quiet property, met our needs. Only downside was there was no lift so we had to lug luggage down and up a few flights of stairs.

We enjoyed our stay! Lots of restaurants and subway stations on walking distance. We stayed on the top floor, which with heavy suitcases was a bit of challenge

Due to lack of conditioning, I had hard time even when the max daily temperature was 80-82 degrees. I cannot imagine staying in a room with 90+. The room is small and awfully heated by the sun with no ventilation whatsoever.

The hotel itself did not have a reception desk and it was all done through the hotel next door. They were very friendly. The room was quite small. Barely enough room to move around. Not like the photo that was shown.

Lovely hotel for the money. Minutes from the tube station. Very clean and comfortable. If driving, it’s worth pre booking somewhere through a parking app.

I’ve stayed here before. This time I booked a twin/single room. Very tiny, but efficient and ok for two nights. Had a nice view over the square. Fairly quiet at night. However…the last time I stayed, I was annoyed by the doors which slam shut if you’re not careful. This time on Both nights I jumped several times with this happening due to inconsiderate or unaware neighbours. Last time, I had recommended putting up discrete signage to encourage guests to be considerate, but that did not happen. And, as with all these older historical properties footfall and other noises can easily be heard despite the carpeting. So, if you’re sensitive to noise, there are issues here.
