1. We liked the location of the hotel 2. We did not enjoy because we reserved at Kensington Gardens and we were accommodated at The Phoenix Hotel. The problem with this hotel was it did NOT have air conditioning and it was really warm at night and elevator was super slow.

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry you did not enjoy your stay. You were upgraded free of charge to the Phoenix Hotel which is the sister Hotel. Neither Hotels have A/C. We hope we will have the pleasure in accommodating you again in the near future.

It is clean, centrally located, next to transportation, quiet. But the rooms are extremely small, there is no AC, everything is basic. London is very expensive, so this is the minimal comfort required.

The property is nice, but very old and small. Biggest challenge is there was no elevators... We carried (2) large bags up approx. 6 flights of stairs!!! It was a trek! ask for a first level room if you have baggage.
