A lovely, little hotel in the heart of Kensington. Staff was attentive and professional. Room was tiny, but homely and clean. The only problem is the facilities are not to the level of a 5-star hotel.

Quirky hotel with nice service but terrible beds

Positives - good location, nice reception / breakfast area, fun quirky decor, nice good sized bathroom with separate shower and bath, and free water and snacks in the room - the bathroom toiletries are high-end RITUALS products and the reception staff are very friendly and helpful Negatives - room was supposed to be a king size bed - it was actually 2 singles pushed together and one slumped in the middle causing me to roll to the centre of the bed and the gap between matresses- very uncomfortable- also duvet was synthetic- so quickly became too hot , the old elevator is Tiny - only fits 2 people and it’s incredibly slow- waited 10 mins for it at Breakfast time For what I paid it represented ok value - would stay again.. but would insist on real double bed!

The positives. It was close to the tube and walking distance to shopping like Harrods. The South Kensington neighborhood was very vibrant and close to Hyde Park, Notting Hill and Portobello Market if you prefer a different beat. The not so positive. The room was smaller than I expected but that was fine. However the bed was very squeaky, the room had an unwelcoming smell and the room could use some touch ups. Paint was coming off night stand table and the window cover was inoperable. I was offered a different but due to timing unable to relocate. Just overall inconvenience.

Had an excellent first stay at this great hotel! It’s conveniently located, making it easy to get around London—just a few minutes from the tube. The staff were outstanding—so friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. I loved the boutique hotel experience—it felt so much more personal and charming compared to a large corporate chain. It truly added to the overall enjoyment of our stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting London, and we will absolutely be back!

The staff were great and always very friendly! The room was a good size and great location for everything in South Kensington. However, the room did not retain warmth very well, the provided electric heater was not powerful enough to warm the room, nor was the central heating system which we had to set to 30 degrees c for it to pump out air that had a hint of warmth. The room also lacked bedside lights, which would have been nice so that we could read without the use of the bright main light.

The staff during check in were great to meet and greet the guest. I had a lovely and nice decoration for our anniversary. But the downside it was a poor breakfast. Fair enough the breakfast start at 7am. Went down for breakfast after 30 mins and the boiled eggs were cold. I wanted fried eggs but nothing there apart from scrambled and boiled eggs. If you are the kind of person that like to book hotel with breakfast and this would be the wrong hotel. Without breakfast this hotel is worth to book. Furthermore my room didn’t have minibar. I would expect to be empty but no minibar. Even for longer stay guest especially for summer if you want to keep the drinks cooler. I would not visit this hotel again in near future.
