Mr. Bubu
Small rooms that need refurbishing, but otherwise OK
Pros + Good location + Acceptably clean + Good price for London Cons - VERY small rooms - Rooms would need some refurbishing and more attention (e.g. loose tap) - Breakfast is a chaos

Very comfortable, quiet, and located close to metro train service (about a 5 min. walk). We would definitely consider staying there again if returning to London.

Love London Traveller
A good 'bang for your buck'
The hotel room itself was nothing special. Other reviewers said the room was small but not by London Standards. I have stayed in far smaller rooms. The bed was stiff but comfortable. The room was stuffy and even with windows that opened the room temperature was lower than I like. The shower stall was very small but the bathroom was a good, overall size. I enjoyed the staff. They were friendly and helpful. They did run out of maps but your so close to a tourist area that it's easy to go get one of your own. The location is footsteps from the tube station (5 min walk at a snail's pace) and there are some really nice eateries in the area. For the price I paid for the place there is really not real complaint. I would only ask that they find a way to improve the air flow by providing fans. Even though it was in the 50s to 60s F ( or 10 to 15 on Celsius) weather the room was in the 76 F ( 25 C) which was uncomfortable for me.

Nice place, but not 4 star
Our room was like a nice best western. Location was great close to tube and night buses. Staff was kind and looked up stuff for us to do. no wifi in room only lobby.

It is sad that in London exists a place like this...
This hotel was the worst hotel I have ever been. Outside looks like a hotel, but inside is more like a hostel. In our country (Romania) will be like a one star hotel. We had a small room in the basement that smelled like chlorine, with no possibility to open the window, near the so called "breakfast room". The breakfast was so poor, with no meat at all and will didn't feel like staying in that dirty place. It had a sliding door that woke us at 7 am. We kindly asked at the reception to block it with a chair during breakfast, they wrote our request on a piece of paper with a creepy smile on their face, but nothing was done in the next morning. For two ours we heard and felt that door. The shower was so small and as we didn't have a shower cap it was very difficult to handle. It is sad that in London exists a place like this...

Location is great
The hotel is in a great location. The room was clean. The issue that I had was that the room could use some modernization. No aircondirioning, and the bed was not very comfortable. Close to the tube made it easy to reach.

Don't like fleabags
not a 4 star
I booked this hotel because it was in Kensington and had air conditioning. The room we were given was small, depressing and had no air conditioning. Were told that air cond was an upgrade for $30 more per night. We upgraded and the room we got was still depressing but did have air cond. It also had a dirty, badly stained carpet, a tiny, almost unusable shower(no bath), and a mattress which was literally coming apart at the seams and had no mattress pad. We changed rooms again, and got a mattress which was still in one piece, but all else was the same.

Four Stars...missing
The hotel amenities, rooms, breakfast are not even close to being four stars. This is a budget hotel with budget amenities. The wifi is also spotty.
