Great location. Quiet, on a beautiful street opposite a small park/garden. M&S just a couple of blocks away. Good basic small hotel. Nothing fancy, but also nothing disturbing like many comparably priced hotels. Excellent value for the money. No lift. My single room was VERY small, and they were helpful in offering a larger one, but I decided to stay to be opposite the garden. Kind helpful staff.

Since it was a hotel, I wish someone brought my luggage down for me when I checked out. A bit confusing to check in a different place than you’re staying.

Beautiful property in a quiet Neighborhood. Its a five minutes walking distance from restaurants, shops and the train station. The only downfall is our room was on the fifth floor (76 stairs to climb) and there is no elevator.

Good stay. Room as described. The shower was very slippery and the shower head has to be held in your hand when showering, so may not be suitable for all.

Nice, comfortable rooms (friend, me). But she was at the front of our building and had a group roomed around her: noisy (my room was off on its own, at the back: quiet). Also, she was located where the outside door BANGED shut every time someone entered/exited. Maybe they could adjust the setting so that it closes quietly?

We had the most wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was absolutely amazing and kind and helpful. The room was comfortable in the location could not have been better. It was walkable to restaurants, and of course, Kensington Gardens. We even walked all the way to Kensington Palace. it was a wonderful day. Highly recommend.

It was fine for the 1 night that i stayed. The staff was friendly and helpful. Lugging my suitcase up 4 flights of stairs was NOT fun. The room was so small, there was no place to even put my suitcase and open except on the bed. Overall, it was acceptable
