A really wonderful stay for one night after travelling. We were travel weary and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was a little old fashioned and the bath took a long while to run, however the shower was powerful and hot which was excellent. Toiletries were very good; showers cap, soap, shampoo, conditioner, body milk and body lotion. Tea and coffee, milk and kettle provided. On the downside, I sent two messages several days before arrival asking if we could leave our luggage before arriving several hours before check in time but did not receive a response. Check in and check out were online and that personal touch was lost, however it does make the process more efficient would imagine. We did check in early but room wasn’t ready (as expected) and we left our luggage so we could go and enjoy our day. Concierge was very friendly and helpful. When we did come back to collect the key we weren’t advised about hotel facilities or breakfast options which was a shame. We had a croissant and coffee in the coffee shop the morning of departure but it seems a breakfast was available at a good price in The Green Stag on the premises. Location was excellent. Nearer to High Street Kensington than we thought on the map. Lovely area. We would definitely stay again.

It met our basic needs but there were some surface level issues with cracked tiles in bathroom, a high step in to the tub that felt a little dangerous, and our bed was clearly two twin beds pushed together which was a bit uncomfortable. It was fine for the price.

Great location, literally a 4 minute walk to Kengstington High Street and the buses aren’t too far. Also walkable distance to Kensington Gardens. Next door is a Holiday Inn as well so it generally feels like you’re safe. 2 restaurants and a cafe was available. I personally didn’t really enjoy the free breakfast but that was my personal taste. I think most people seemed to love it. I often enjoy free breakfast at hotels, this just wasn’t doing it for me. My room was clean biggest issue was that it was way outdated. I think they need to renovate the place out, one floor at a time and just fix the rooms, especially that bathrooms. Still it was good for a solo traveler. I genuinely felt safe in the hotel and I felt okay at night again. I would stay again. Kengsington High Street is far away enough from central London where you aren’t getting all the busy stuff and it’s quiet but also just close to everything. It’s like in the middle of Camden and Central London so you can get yourself to either pretty quickly. Ans Notting Hill literally a 20 minute walk. I walked all the way back from Notting Hill one night. The next time I did take the bus but sometimes as a foreigner the bus locations are confusing it becomes easier to google map it.

The hotel has large rooms which is a plus. Otherwise standard hotel. The restaurant food belongs in the 1970’s and the hotel can surely do better

Location is excellent - 4 min. walk to subway or bus, whole food market, M&S food court. Staff were great. The rooms are (stayed there twice this year) a bit worn - but all in all, it's my favourite place to stay in London.
