The staff were great & friendly. The hotel is charming and in a great location for sightseeing in Kensington and area. The room had everything I needed, it was nice to have a minifridge. The bed was super confortable and the bedding was warm. The bathroom was small but well laid out, my only complaint was the water pressure which affected the shower and toliet.

Honestly what a find in London. Lovely staff, hotel, room with all the amenities you need (including cotton pads & buds!) and a reasonably priced minibar! Just excellent! We also paid for breakfast which was similarly great - reasonable price for all you could eat buffet with a wide selection and attentive service. Close to 2 tubes, museums and a variety of places to eat. Will definitely be back.
