Don’t like the way they now nickle and dime you for breakfast which was included during two previous stays. Big up charge. Cramped room with no outlets near bed. This toilet was hard to flush and was told it’s an old hotel. Will not stay there again Best part was location

The staff was cordial and we could check in earlier. The room was small and no refrigerator. We complained about the water being too hot in the shower but it was not resolved for the 3 days we stayed. Property was close to Hyde park and Kensington palace. Rail and tube stations were 10 minutes walk.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Good size room, but very tired furnishings. Shower valves didn’t work well, so got scalding water or cold intermittently. On the morning of our departure the entire building was out of hot water. Check- in was very slow due to what seemed to be a software issue even though there was no one else checking in. Location is very good. AC works well. Large room made up for other shortcomings.

Overall quite nice. Very thin walls so if a neighbour is watching TV, it’s disturbing. Small point about soap. Shower gel is not adequate for hand washing. Please put in some soap.
