Negative impression from arrival. Entrance is narrow stairway- carpet stained. Info on booking site startes lift from first floor but not that there are twenty-five stairs to climb to get to it. Had booked "executive double" which was tiny. Complained first through booking agency and then directly to manager who refused a refund but did give us a slightly bigger... More

Very happy with my stay. Wifi worked perfectly. As it is just off kensington high street it has excellent amenities close by. As noted previously the single rooms are tiny but well appointed.

Stayed here for 2 x nights and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I used the hotel to attend an exhibition at London Olympia which is a short 10-12 minute walk away. My room was comfortable and spacious and extremely modern. In fact the whole of the hotel has a very contemporary feel to it. The hotel offers free Wi-Fi and the... More

Everything was rather good, but rooms are extremely small!!! Staff is rather friendly and helpful! Reception is not on the ground floor - You have to go upstairs but receptionist helps us with luggage. NO LIFT! Please note this.

We spent a weekend in London and, knowing we had a table booked at nearby Babylon Restaurant (Kensington Roof Gardens) we opted to stay at this hotel. We didn't realise at the time of booking that it has a sister hotel at the other end (nearer to Kensington Gardens and also Babylon) but there is little in difference in distance... More

It may be unusual to write a review before one has even left the hotel but as I lie here stifling in a Lilliputian room at 5am, I thought I'd do it before my annoyance subsides. This is the type of room that is so tiny that the ensuite door bumps into the bed when you open it. Despite fiddling... More

My wife and I used to live in London, so when we found this hotel around the corner from where we used to live, we booked a room straight away. We were not disappointed. The hotel has a real boutique feel to it and we loved it. The staff were all extremely helpful, from carrying our bags up the very... More

We were very pleased with the location close to the tube at High St and the bus stop. Great shopping and food. Service was excellent. Rooms are very small however if you need somewhere just to sleep, then excellent value . Rate included a great continental breakfast.

Very comfortable and as a lone traveller, felt very secure.The room and shower room were immaculate.The only negative was that I had very little sleep due to the noise of the traffic on the main street,despite secondary glazing. Breakfast was excellent.The receptionist was exceptionally polite and helpful.Location great,... More
