Concierge asked me to get my luggages from luggage store room myself, which is a considerable safety breach. I was also locked out of my room at 11am, an hour before the check out time at 12pm. When the concierge desk is empty, all the other staff with nothing to do will just stand around and stare.

We have stayed here a few times now and find it to be convenient, being a short walk from the tube station and it's lovely to have Kensington Gardens on the doorstep. It is good value, well maintained with a choice of dining areas and there are lots of local restaurants and coffee shops too.

Second stay in a fortnight, but this room was better than previously (both “superior twin rooms”). The aircon was fully functional this time (you can’t open the windows), and the furniture seemed somewhat less tired. Staff have always been friendly and helpful on both stays and public areas are nicely presented. I understand that some of the rooms are due to be refurbed soon, but until then however I’m not sure that the price per night is fully justified. The key benefit of this hotel is its excellent location which is ideal for tourism, or in our case, the nearby Cromwell Hospital. The pillows were still too thin for all 3 of us though.

I stayed the first room. There is only hot water out from the sink. Then change to another room. The shower could could work and only can use the tub. Then, I asked the hotel to fix it. Great location, spacious room and great service. However, it's old and the facility does not work very well.
