This hotel has been done up to a high standard, with comfy beds and very nice bathroom! I only stayed one night for work so didn't get to make the most of the hotel's fantastic location for sightseeing. It was very straightforward to find from the tube station. The room itself was small (I had a single bed) but fairly standard for London. My only issue was the lack of towels upon check in, but very quickly remedied!!

A solid choice for a stay in South Kensington. Staff very helpful, clean and up to date. Only odd thing was the bathroom door configuration. The hinges opened the wrong way (opened inwards instead of outwards. Would be very tricky or impossible for a large customer to squeeze in.

Excellent value: my tiny room under the stairs was tidy & the heated floor in the bathroom (all 6 square feet of it!) was a nice touch

I took the Single occupancy room and it was terrible. It’s not the size, which is tiny, but the very poor design. No where to hang a towel, no where to put a toothbrush, but the time you plug a charger, there is no place for your phone and glasses next to your bed. The bed is not comfortable and the curtains hang in your head. When I asked staff to change rooms, they didn’t even get back to me as promised

A fantastic hotel and superb location.
Stayed on a 3-night business trip. The hotel is superb, with spacious rooms and good amenities. The location is excellent and literally a stones throw from South Kensington tube station. Overall, very pleased with the hotel room itself. The only pitfall was the room above playing bass music until midnight. Not so much of a problem if it was lighter music, but of course this impacted sleep. Frustrating, as the hotel itself was very good and I would easily look to return (just hoping this time neighbours would share the same courtesy).
