The bathroom was very poor, the sink was so set back between two interior walls that I had to stand sideways to brush my teeth. The light in our room 104 kept flickering, reported to reception and never got fixed in the 3 nights staying there and the bed slats were broken

Liked: Cleanliness
Check in was friendly and efficient but upon arriving into the room, the temperature had been set to a face-melting 27.5 degrees on both of the a/c units. The room itself (we had the Jimmy Martin Suite) was funky enough but some of the fittings were worn and it didn’t have very well thought through layout - awkwardly placed plugs by the bed for example. Breakfast was a disappointment too (quite basic) and in general we felt a little underwhelmed by the whole experience which was meant to be an anniversary celebration.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel in a great location. South Kensington tube station is a 5 minute safe walk away and it serves the Piccadilly Line which is a direct transit to Heathrow airport, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Knightsbridge …. which made my life a lot easier as a solo traveller. The hotel is spotless and my bedroom on the first floor was lovely. The photos on Expedia website do this hotel justice. I didn’t avail of breakfast but on the night I arrived I had dinner in the hotel and I found it very tasty. Before I arrived I sent several messages via the Expedia app to the hotel. All messages were answered promptly and all my requests were granted. The biggest compliment I can pay this hotel is to say that for my next visit to London I will endeavour to stay here again. Thank you to all staff I encountered on my visit. I haven’t anything negative to comment on.

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.

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.
