Mixed
Not particularly welcoming reception staff, but able to check-in early without difficulty. Tiny rooms (my colleague could touch opposite walls simultanously) but well-appointed: comfortable bed, good linen, toiletries and Fairtrade tea & (filter) coffee. Short hairdryer cord didn't allow me to look in the mirror whilst drying my hair & no light over the desk. Very courteous & pleasant breakfast staff. Excellent breakfast.

pleasant stay
This was one of the most idyllic hotel in which we have ever stayed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Wonderful location very near Gloucester Road tube and the Kensington museum, 15 minute walk to South Kensington for your shopping needs. We'd recommend it to anyone. It's a must in your tour of London. Congratulations to the hotel for their choice of personnel. You were fantastic.

Great Hotel
Smallish hotel in a great location. Recently refurbished with top notch furnishing including the bath and bed. Rooms are small, typical for London, but adequate for pleasure trip where little time is spent in your room. Close to restaurants, pubs, tube station, banks and short walking distance to many famous London attractions. A little pricy for what you get, but exchange rate has to be considered. I would highly recommend this hotel, and would definitely stay there again on my next trip to London.

Good for the price
Being the first time I have ever been to London I'm not sure how this hotel compare to others, but it is in a very close to a tube station, resturants, shopping. It is currently in the middle of a remodel so construction is noisy if you want to sleep in later.

Time out with Family
Great visit in London. Hotel was in great location. Nice except for bathroom. Heavy dripping from ceiling flooded the floor. Could not be moved because no other availability. Supposed to be compensated however NOT. Continental breakfast did not come with [...]rate. It was very overpriced.
