Only stayed for one night, but the stay was fantastic. We stayed in a quad room, one queen bed, and two twins. The room was incredibly spacious, and had a lovely stocked bathroom. The view looked right over the quaint neighborhood street and it was so picturesque. They held onto our luggage while we explored the rest of Kensington. The natural history Museum is also a quick five minute walk nearby. Would highly recommend this place to stay!
It was a great stay inn the right part of London. A pity the lift wasn't working. Room wasn't made up until the afternoon and the shower was a challenge, could have done with a shelf because impossible to bend over without opening the door. Staff friendly and helpful.
Lovely quiet safe spot with quiet bars and the tube close by.

The room is the tiniest I have ever been in! You can open your suitcase only by laying it on the bed. The elevator was tiny, like in a doll house. Very claustrophobic. The hotel itself is very clean, smells nice, with lovely toiletries.
From the point of booking the communication was very good answering all the questions we had prior to our trip.
We arrived earlier than our check in to make use of the hotels luggage store, which we also utilised for a coupld of hours after check out. This was a big help for our trip and saved us trailing a large suitcase round the city.
The staff were very welcoming and explained everything well.
Our room was immaculate and had everything we needed for a relax stay in London.
I had a single room which was small but functional. The location of this hotel is excellent being near the Gloucester Road tube and also buses. Staff were very pleasant and accommodating and the building was decent enough. Would certainly stay again, but maybe in a double room.
Staff were helpful and polite, hotel was ideally located near tube station and just round the corner from some major attractions. They also let us leave our bags for a good few hours while we walked around London before our train in the evening.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was nice and clean. Heating was fully on but much too hot.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful and we got a complimentary upgrade. They also gave us a discount on the dinning room for anything.
The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable
Location was perfect for the natural history museum or V&A.
