    A nice place to stay, apart from the strangely small duvet!

    The duvet was much smaller than the bed, it didn't fit properly which was very odd - luckily it wasn't cold… One coffee sachet only!

    Nice room decor and a decent size room Helpful staff - especially useful as I checked in very late in the evening Smart lounge space downstairs

    A little disorganised at breakfast on our first morning and was unclear in regard to set up etc. Second morning was fine.

    Friendly reception and we're very reasonable about allowances from minibar.

    We had a room on a ‘half floor’ and as an elderly couple it meant we had to carry our suitcase up/down a level

    It was very clean and the staff were lovely

    The room was perfect for my one night stay in London, but it was right next to the elevator which was a little noisy but I slept with earplugs.

    The staff were amazing and held my luggage for me the day I checked out!

    The room was okay, but from the pictures online, the bed was supposed to be downstairs while the sofa is upstairs. The stairs up to the bed were steep and hard for my older mother to climb, so she had to stay on the sofa bed, which was not ideal. Also, it was extremely warm on the second level of the room, very noticeable difference between spaces.

    The location was amazing and we loved the heated towel bar.

    Breakfast room could be larger and was busy so staff were a bit stretched the morning I had breakfast at the hotel. Food was good though.

    Location perfect for strolling to facilities & restaurants around lovely Kensington. Comfortable clean bed , spacious room (mezzanine room) which was lovely & bright. Air conditioning which was much appreciated on warm day. Easy walk from Earlscourt underground.

    The location is good and bad: good because it’s very handy for Earls Court tube station; bad because it’s on a perpetually busy road. However, my room on the 4th floor was not at all noisy

    The room was excellent

    - hotel needs a revamp, the room looked quite worn out, furniture had many stains and discolorations, the bathroom facilities looked especially old - while the main area of the room was spacious, the bathroom was on the small side - breakfast selection was limited, some items would end very quickly and would not be restocked

    - spacious room, lots of storage space - good location, tube station nearby, plenty of activities in the walking distance (incl. several big museum) - good price given the location and how big the room was - the room had an electric kettle and a fridge
