Initial check in was fine, even fine when i asked for a midday check out rather than 11am. To start with the bathroom was grubby and the towels were frayed. Was look at with disgust when i went to pay cash for drinks. Up to this point i had no idea that was a card only hotel. Outdated sockets in room, no usb

The staff were extremely nice and helpful, I arrived very early morning from a long overseas flight and the staff did I their best to get a room ready for me couple hours before the 3PM check in time. The room was extremely clean and modern and despite being on the smaller side with US standards was very functional.

I had a wonderful stay. The hotel was spotless and the room very comfortable. The pillows were exceptional and had I known I wouldn't have dragged mine from Gloucestershire. The staff were helpful and friendly Also it was a 2 minute walk to the Cromwell Hospital. A perfect stay.

The staff were great & friendly. The hotel is charming and in a great location for sightseeing in Kensington and area. The room had everything I needed, it was nice to have a minifridge. The bed was super confortable and the bedding was warm. The bathroom was small but well laid out, my only complaint was the water pressure which affected the shower and toliet.
