This is a lovely hotel in good location. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The air condition was efficient and quiet. We had a great view from our 7th floor bedroom. We booked early so got a good price. No lift from garage, two flights of stairs!

Spent four nights here in June 2013. Location is excellent - just a few minutes walk from Kensington High Street Tube station. The hotel looks a bit dated from the outside, but don't let that put you off. Inside, it is modern, spotlessly clean, efficient and a perfect base for all the sights of London. The rooms are a generous... More

Stayed here for 2 nights with the hubby and was pleasantly surprised. Look a bit tired & dated from the front but still a gem of a hotel. Staff were great from checkin to checkout. Even the bar staff recommended some restaurants & bars in the area. Roof garden which is a 5 minute walk from hotel is a must.... More

Stayed here 5 nights, and for our purposes hotel was good. The first bed we had was dreadful, saggy, and no support. We asked to be moved, and then the hotel actually came in and took out the old bed and box spring. The new one was quite a bit better, but still much too soft. However, commend the hotel... More
