convenient but not comfortable.

Very difficult to find the hotel entrance, signage is poor. Rooms very small and access on stairs with cases very awkward. Requested gluten free bread at breakfast the night before but the morning staff new nothing about our request. not well managed as it appears to share the management team with a sister hotel that is a mile away.

Rent og udemærket hotel

Værelserne er nye, men meget små. De ligger ud til vejen, så der er lidt støj. Men ikke så man ikke kan sove. Flinke personer på hotellet. Tæt på restauranter og godt parker (Kensington gardens og hyde park) gå afstand til stoppe sted for Tour busser.

Decent Hotel Close To Attractions

Stayed here after a night at winter wonderland and oxford street, it is close to Hyde Park, Kensington, Buckingham Palace and so forth. The room size is the size of a typical bedroom so don't expect a giant amount of space since this is a hotel that has been converted from a multistory property I believe. Overall is was decent for what we wanted was a one night stay, however if you got luggage and many bags this will likely be to small for you or family's of 2/3 sharing one room.

Fairly acceptable hotel

Quite small hotel in a okay location to central London. Room and bed was small and not so comfortable for 2 adults. Nice shower but it randomly went scalding hot for brief moments. Rear facing room view was not attractive. Narrow stairs to the lobby with no elevator so it would be a problem with heavy luggage. Elevator to the rest of the floors is a little scary. It kept stopping while descending one time. Nice breakfast room with view over Kensington high street and the park. Overall I felt we could have had better value for the price - especially considering the time of year.

It's tiny!

The rooms are tiny and the beds are only 4.5 foot wide. You wouldn't be able to even store two suitcases without tripping over them. I'm not kidding. There's no kitchen either so breakfast is cereal or toast only. If you need a cheap hotel in that location then it'll do for a night but don't use it as a base for a London city break.

Overpriced, bad service

Asvertised 2pm check in was late, the room was not ready when I got there at 2.05 pm, so I had to wait at the reception. Grumpy guy checked me in finally after I yet again asked for my room, tired of waiting, after 30 mins. No remote for the tv, had to ask at reception. Didnt get one before I went back for the 3rd time; was allowed to borrow one for the night. Summary: terrible hotel, way overpriced! Dont stay here.

God værdi for pengene.

Værelset var ikke ret stort og uden køleskab. Morgenmaden indeholdt kun det basale, men man kunne blive mæt. Perfekt beliggenhed både med hensyn til transport og afstand til centrum. Hyde Park er bogstavelig talt lige på den anden side af gaden.

Location

The only benefit is it is across the street from Hyde Park and a short walk from Kensington Palace which was nice to see. Otherwise, I'd never stay there again. You have to walk up two flights of narrow dirty stairs with your luggage before you get to the reception desk. Then you can take a very slow elevator to your floor.

Dårlig indretning af enkeltværelse

Meget lille værelse. Nødvendigt at kravle henover sengen for at komme til skrivebord og klædeskab. Elevator starter fra 1. sal, så ikke brugervenlig får dårligt gående, eller for folk med tung bagage. Den ene dag var den "nye" flaske med gratis vand åbnet og der var drukket af den!!! Anmodede flere gange om en pose til vasketøj. Den kom aldrig.

If you are looking for something affordable...this is the spot. Free fast wifi and conveniently near shops and restaurants. Pros: Location Price Free wifi and breakfast Super nice and helpful staff Cons: Breakfast=toast/coffee/tea/condiments No fridge or microwave in room (not in communal area either-have to ask staff to heat or cool something) Go up stairs before seeing lift. *lastly, rooms are nice and comfy but do not get a single room and expect it to be roomie..it is VERY small*

Good location bad room bad road noise so no sleep

Handy location, but the minuscule room i had was facing Kensington High street with faulty windows, so probably would have been better with a single bed in it and if the windows were fixed. The noise of the traffic on Kensington High Street was like sleeping on the Motorway all through the night and into the morning hours, so no sleep at all. They had no other room as they were fully booked so I couldn't change rooms, and the receptionist looked at the faulty window but had no options for me. I travel for work 200 days a year this is the worst I have experienced, its a shame I paid in advance as I certainly wouldn't have paid for the room if I hadn't Would not use again
