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).

Clean and tidy hotel close to attractions
The hotel was clean and tidy and close to the Royal Albert Hall and South Kensington. The room had been recently painted and was still a strong smell of paint and the paint job was hit and miss. Room was clean and tidy. Mattress a bit soft and walls were thin as you could hear conversations in next room. Shower was not working very well.

Fantastic location and great value. Space was clean and staff was helpful and accommodating. The only thing is I kept blowing a circuit breaker with the tea kettle. They reset it right away but it happened twice before I gave up on tea.
