Four Stars...missing
The hotel amenities, rooms, breakfast are not even close to being four stars. This is a budget hotel with budget amenities. The wifi is also spotty.

Great for single traveler
Single room was great--just the right amount of everything I needed. Bed, TV, coffee/water maker, safe, two drawers and hangers, bathroom. Heater in room too, although I was very warm at night and had to sleep with the window open--not too bad, wasn't bothered by light outside just the occasional car that drove by on Harrington Gardens ave. Reasonably close to Gloucester Rd tube station. Staff was friendly, helpful, and capable. Well-equipped room. Would definitely stay here again.

I wouldn't stay here again
I have stayed in other hotels in Europe and am used to the fact the bathrooms are small in general but this was really small! Not only was it small, the shower head was literally held on by a rubber band. We are a family of 3 staying in a room the hotel called a triple and there was bearly enough room for us.

Great Location & Good Hotel
Hotel is a 5 minue walk from the Gloucester Road tube stop. In a posh neighborhood this hotel fits right in looks wise. Rooms are small as many are in London. I would recommend upgrading to a larger room. Friendly staff. I would recommend this hotel to any of my friends.

good value in a nice part of London
This hotel is a good basic place to stay in a nice area of London; convenient to the Underground, Hyde Park, and the Albert and Victoria Museum. The room was very small, but if all you need is a place to sleep, for the price, this will fit your needs. The staff were very responsive.

OK for one night
The hotel is located in a convenient and pleasant location in the desirable Kensington location. The room was spacious (by far the largest we encountered in 2 weeks in London) and the staff was friendly. That said, there were a number of stains on the carpet, and the bedding was clearly worn. The carpet had been vacuumed, and the bedding was clean but both could have used replacement. The mattress was not comfortable. The staff was accommodating (they let us use the desk PC to print boarding passes) but seemed overwhelmed. They run on a key card system, so I thought it was odd that they followed the old "leave your key at the desk" program. We could not get two keys for the room, and at one point during our stay a guest in another room was unable to access their room because the desk had lost their key and couldn't contact the maintenance man. Overall it had the feel more of a youth hostel/dormitory than a 3 star hotel.

Quite nice hotel in a quiet and
Quite nice hotel in a quiet and cosy area of London. Close to the tube and restaurants, supermarkets, museums, Harrods etc. The rooms are small but nice. Modern and clean bathrooms. Some of the rooms have air condition. Compared to other 3 + stars hotel in London this seems like good value for money. Would recommend.
