I stayed with my husband for 3 nights in October. The location is great however we were placed in the smallest room ever. What disturbed me the most was the cleanliness of the bathroom. The shower walls were dirty. There's was mold around the shower door and the tub was leaking a greenish substance out of the facets. Upon check out I was not even asked how my stay was. Maybe she knew that I probably got the worse room in the hotel. A better and cleaner room would it be appreciated.

Disliked: Room comfort
The best part about our room was the size of the bathroom, although the extractor fan didn't work. I booked a standard double room and it was the size of a shoebox. Certainly not at all like the photos on the website. It was so small there was nowhere to put our luggage. The bed was very low, so difficult to get out of, and with very little space anyway at the side. The pillows were lumpy. A very small mirror was provided on the desk, You couldn't use the bathroom mirror because of the steam. When we informed reception the next day, we were informed it was the smallest bedroom in the building! It was clean is a redeeming feature, and the staff were friendly. Very disappointed and certainly not worth the money we paid.

Great staff. Beds were a bit firm, linens were great, shower and BIG tub! Perfect for our week stay and South Kensington tube is ideal for in/out of LHR and hitting all the London highlights is easy with direct access to circle, district and Piccadilly lines. Also, VERY short walk to V&A, Nat Hist, Science, and Kensington Palace. Truly a great place.

Really nice hotel but disappointing stay

The hotel reception and bar/lounge area are clean, warm and. Inviting. The decor in the hotel is quirky. I booked two double rooms with queen size beds, but they were kingsize. The bedframe creaked loudly when turning over and due to the cheap waterproof mattress topper I was unable to sleep as it made me sweat. the en-suite was spacious with a large separate shower and bath. Unfortunately the cold tap on the bath was very stiff and i could only turn it a fraction and was then unable to turn it off. Due to a language problem we ordered 2 double gins from the bar and received 2, double, double gins and were charged £65. The manager refused to refund us saying she was unable to as it had already been put on the system but instead gave us free tonic and a bottle of their top Prosecco that sells in tescos for £12.50. We didnt wart this as we already had quadruple gins to drink and we were travelling by bike and had minimal luggage space. I am still waiting for someone to get back to me about our stay. It may be an unfortunate set of problems that just happened to us, as it really is a nice hotel

Staff was nice, room was clean, it was convenient to many dining options and the Tube. The only issue we had was that from 8 am-11:30 pm we could hear techno music playing through the walls. It wasn’t terribly loud, but it was noticeable and annoying. Not sure if it was coming from the place next door or what, but I wish that hadn’t been a part of our stay.
