Not what you pay for.
For the price, it really wasn’t worth it. I booked it for the pool. It was closed. No word of that when booking. The service was poor and the staff were uninterested and uninformed. I was even ignored for a while.

Hotel is very convenient for Royal Albert Hall and Kensington shopping. It has a good bar and a Starbucks cafe, plus its own restaurant. Standard rooms are very small - opt for an upgrade.

Delayed check in
Disappointed with check in, our room wasn’t ready for 2 hours past check in time. We’re told to sit in reception & each time told it would only be another 10mins. Very frustrating after a long travel day & only compensation offered was a couple of chocolate bars

Overpriced but good location
Dusty room, hair in the shower with a slow draining plug. Bed very firm and pillows lumpy. No water in room, went down to reception to buy some - we were offered two small bottles which was appreciated although receptionist proceeded to relentlessly push us to book for breakfast after declining multiple times. Overall, felt over priced. Great location!

The hot breakfast every morning had a large variety of food items. Options for vegans and vegetarians. No options to take tea or coffee to go. The mattress was uncomfortable and worn out. The shower was the biggest issue. It is a SAFETY ISSUE. Water all over the floor with each shower. Difficult to get ahold of housekeeping to get extra towels. However we would stay again. Very friendly staff.

Have stayed at this hotel multiple times. Location is good, rooms are small but fine for the price, however avoid rooms that are at the end of the hallways as the bathrooms have an awful smell that comes from the ventilation. I have not had this issue in rooms close to the elevator. Service was awful this time. my AC was not working and after calling three times in the span of two days, it still was not working when I checked out.
