I recently stayed three nights in this small, charming hotel in Chelsea/Kensington, and I have stayed there numerous times before. It happens to be perfectly located for my annual business trip to London, as I can walk to Earls Court, and for any other activities it is an easy walk to the Gloucester Road tube stop on the Piccadilly line....

Being tourists, they suggested the best tourist spots and best times to get. Subway is also right around the corner, an easy walking distance, that will take... More

The most important thing for a hotel is to have a good bed. In the scheme of things, a good bed means that one has a chance for a good night's sleep. With a bad bed, there is little to no chance of a good night's sleep...and one usually ends up with a aching back too. The hotel was nice,... More

Close to many great pubs, restaurants, and walking distance to Underground. But on a quiet street, which is the best of two worlds: peace and proximity. The staff were friendly, the room was nicely appointed. Breakfast is served to your room, very relaxing. The common areas have lovely antiques, and there is a free happy hour reception nightly. More

This hotel is overrated at tripadvisor.

We did choose the left door and this was bad luck, we... More
