"Nice hotel in great location"

Super location - walking distance from Kensington High Street. Rooms small but well presented. Clean modern style. Breakfast was an excellent buffet included in the room rate with fresh fruit and juice and good coffee and sensibly priced cooked options. Hotel bar lacks atmosphere but being so close to bars and restaurants it didn`t really matter.

"Really enjoyed our stay in your hotel."

The hotel is located just in the center of London. The staff was very attentive to all our needs. The room was a bit small and yet had everything the person would need. We would certainly recommend it to our friends.

"Location, location, location with a comfortable bed, peaceful street and comfortable room temp."

Facing Hype park if you like an early morning run or just up from High Street Ken if your into shopping. Close to central London. Add in good value, comfort and friendly staff what more do you want. Negetive is the noise the lift makes which depending on where your room is and if your a light sleeper can be a little annoying.

I stayed at the hotel with my family and mother. It was an ideal location for our visit to the museums which were in walking distance. Also quiet location very little traffic.. Rooms a nice size and very clean. Another bonus was being able to leave our luggage on day of departure and collect them later. Continental breakfast was more than adequate.

I would have rated the hotel as excellent but for some communication problems which were entirely due to lack of familiarity with the English language on the part of certain members of the staff.

We had breakfast each morning and enjoyed the food. With a nice clean bed and a hearty meal at a reasonable price, what more does a man want.

Room a little compact but had a nice feeling. Only there for 1 night otherwise would have requested a larger room. Overall, good value for money by London standards.

"Hotel stay"

Hotel was clean respectable and the staff were polite and friendly- Bar was not the greatest with no draft beers or Rose wine. Breakfast was good food but a little all over the place. The room we were in was quite nice yet small. No fridge available, overall a nice place but i`ll perhaps choose differently again.

"Small draughty room."

Disappointed with our room. We were down in the basement with bars on the window. Felt like we were in a dungeon. The bed was placed against the window and we had a constant draught on our necks. Could not open the drawers fully in the cupboard at the bottom of the bed as there was not enough room. Feel that we were misled with the pictures of the rooms on the web site for the hotel. On the positive side, the staff were all polite and the continental breakfast was more than adequate.

"Friendly, homely and convenient"

We booked this hotel as we were going to an event at the Royal Albert Hall. It is 5 minutes walk away and perfect as such. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. As other people commented the room we stayed in was small but this was not a problem. Room facilities excellent including bottled water. The only thing I did not like were the wooden blinds at the windows instead of curtains. They did not allow the room to become dark and did not keep the cold out. Would have preferred curtains, but this a personal preference thing. It would make me reluctant to stay in summer!

Overall, a very nice hotel. My only problem was the shower - lack of pressure made it fairly useless. Needs looking into.
