The hotel had its charms but also had some drawbacks. The rooms were warm and cozy but lacked proper ventilation, making them sticky. The service was pleasant overall but had a small hiccup with an unexpected extra charge. The location was convenient with good access to transport but the dining experience left something to be desired.

The hotel is located in a nice area close to Hyde Park and Tube Stations, making it convenient for short stay visits.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though clean, felt very old and dated.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was larger than some others on my recent trip, which was a plus, but it was in poor condition and not up to the star rating it claimed. The location was convenient, being close to the tube station, although the area seemed shady. The friendly service was a highlight, although the handling of a frozen deposit on my account was less than satisfactory.

The hotel had spacious rooms for the four of us but was a bit too warm. Despite the rooms not being ready on arrival, they were clean enough. The service started off not very friendly but improved. The location was convenient near an Underground station, although the tiny twin room lacked certain amenities. The dining experience was not impressive, and there were additional charges. On the positive side, the hotel was opposite Kensington Gardens, offering easy access to shopping, Hyde Park, and tube stations.
