The hotel has an interesting style with nice high windows in what feels like a bunker. The rooms come with a nice bathroom and hot air con at full blast. The service, especially from Hotel manager Tina, and the staff from doorman to reception, was exceptional. The location in a very quiet posh area of Kensington between two major tubes is excellent, and the dining experience offered seasonal local products.

I kept bumping into the TV sticking out into the narrow passageway to the bathroom, where the toiletries were placed. Despite this, the room had a comfortable king-size bed. The hotel manager Tina and staff, from the doorman to reception and cleaning team, were exceptional. The service was top-notch, offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, and a paid shuttle service. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet, high-end residential area between two major tube stations and close to the Museum of Natural History. The dining experience was satisfactory, with plenty of puddings to choose from. The facilities provided were adequate for a pleasant stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were an interesting mix of cozy with heating provided, but felt a bit like a bunker in terms of style for my young children. The service, especially from the Hotel manager Tina, was exceptional, and all staff from the doorman to cleaning crew were attentive. The location was fantastic, nestled in a glorious area of Kensington, perfect for exploring. Dining options were served but not included, with traditional Italian dishes available. Overall, a stay with some highs and lows.

I stayed at this hotel with my young children, and while the rooms kept blowing hot air even with the air conditioning on full blast, they were equipped with good facilities. The service, especially from the hotel manager Tina and the entire staff from the doorman to reception and cleaning team, was exceptional, offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, and even shuttle services for an extra fee. The location was ideal, nestled in a nice quiet residential area between two major subway stations, making it a perfect base for exploring the city. The dining options were not included, but there was an Asian restaurant downstairs. The overall atmosphere was a bit tired looking, but the area felt very safe for walking at any time.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, nestled between two major tube stations with easy access to many tourist spots. The rooms were cozy, with a single tub chair, fantastic heating, and lovely high windows. The king size bed was a dream to sleep on.
