Liked: Staff & service
The first room I was given was dirty like someone was staying there. And looked nothing like the photos online. I was walked in on twice by cleaning staff “trying to get the room ready” when it was already confirmed to reception that they had cleaned the room. I was given another room and it was much better but conditions were still not amazing. I understand the price and the area was nice so I was happy to continue my stay. Loay at reception was very kind and helpful throughout my 10 day stay. Overall the hotel was cute and charming but not 100% operating well and wasn’t super pristine.

Upon arrival, the receptionist was very polite and it was so quick to check in. The room was ideal for a solo traveller staying for one night. The room, wardrobe and shower room / toilet was all very clean with no complaints. The location was exceptional being such a short walk to Hyde park, Harrods, public transport

Great location.

Great location for Royal Albert Hall, Hyde park, and Kensington area. The hotel is very nicely presented. The downside for us was the small room.

Refurbishment continues at a good pace. My room was freshly done, quite lovely, and remarkably spacious. Staff was on hand to check me in, even long before normal check-in hours, and did not charge me a premium for early check-in (about 2 hours early). They had a little difficulty finding my prepayment record, but gamely continued searching the system until they found it. The location is absolutely stunning, half a block from Kensington Gardens and only a five-minute walk to the restaurants and shops on Kensington High Street. This hotel is an excellent quality for the price, and I will certainly stay here again.

Enjoyable stay

Great location near Kensington Palace. Nice old house. Pleasant personnel. Good (not amazing) breakfast. Everything in good/great condition except that the carpet in our bedroom needed to be replaced (old and dirty). Small room (par for the course).

Overall great place and price but...

Great location and amazing breakfast for the price of the stay but as usual single room very small though spotless. However television not working. No info re wi fi sign in either in the room or on the card holding the key. Apparently it was in reception but not pointed out. No way in the room to contact reception to ask so any query like this meant a trip 4 floors down to reception. Having said all this for £50 it was amazing value and I would recommend and will certainly stay again.
