We stayed one night at the end of our London girls' trip. What a delight! It's a beautiful boutique hotel with a lot of history. Our room was large and comfortable and the amenities were wonderful. The bar is lovely and it was a treat to be there the evening of the Olivier Awards! Would highly recommend. Also loved the location on a beautiful street right off Kensington Park.

We loved the warm welcome, the comfortable common areas, the wonderful bed and linens. Very small room. The bathroom and carpet in the room really needs a refresh - something that is apparently planned for the next year. All in all I would go back. The location was perfect, walkable, quiet, a few steps from Kensington Gardens.
