Spent two nights in the hotel on business. The hotel is just of High Street Kensington. On check-in I was told as I was staying for two nights I would have a quiet room. Apparently a one night stay gives you a room near the underground rail line. My room was a twin which was clean but in need of... More

Stayed here for 2 nights and consider this a good place to stay at the Price I paid £79 room only. This was a Special deal and was a good price lfor the location, comparable local hotels can be double. Be prepared for a global mass market/tourist clientale but in the main things work well here. Didn't want to pay... More

We stayed here for one night before our 2 bedroom flat became available. We arrived straight off the plane with a transfer who couldn't find the bloody hotel. (it was not that hard to find but I didn't feel like being the tour guide considering the price I had paid for the transfer). Its not exactly a hotel that has... More

Really chuffed with the stay. Brill location, just round the corner from High Street Kensington tube. Attractive lobby area. Room was also great, good size for central London. Really no complaints although the air con/fridge were a bit noisy!

I arrived after a long day in a cold and damp London, my room matched my mood exactly.... It was tired at best, a chunk of "wood" missing from the desk, damp starting to show on the bathroom wall and just dull all round. I have to say, it was clean at least, but that should not be enough to... More

I booked this stay through my employers as my normal hotel was not available within budget . I had read the reviews in advance so was expecting a noisy hotel in need of updating. Still , it would only be for 1 night. On arrival I requested a quiet room which was sorted without trouble and I had no problem... More

Pre-booked some months ago at an excellent price for a three night stay. Have read very mixed reviews, but our experience was great. The hotel is relatively central - just off Kensington High St with ample transport - taxis, buses & tube. In fact the tube line runs directly behind the hotel. We had a standard room on the fifth...

The hotel is well located close to the tube and Kensington High Street shopping precinct. Rooms are a bit dated but clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was fine with reasonable choice. We had dinner in Bugis Street restaurant - great laksa and noodle dishes at reasonable prices.
