The room was spacious and clean. Good location, quiet street, short walk to 2 Tube stations. Great staff, would recommend!
Lovely staff, I arrived early having booked a single room and they upgraded me to a double for free as they had it ready. Breakfast was standard continental. Only thing really was the room was very cold at night, seemed like very old windows
I loved the location of this property and how it was situated within its neighborhood. My room was clean and the staff was friendly and kindly let me in my room a bit early after long travel.
The hotel is a budget proposition and it shows a little in the communal areas but the staff are friendly, the rooms clean and the location is absolutely fantastic.

Nice location for a stay in London
We were placed in the basement of the hotel with minimal views. The room was clean and comfortable, with a good bed. The breakfast should get an upgrade, both when it comes to the variety of food and how the food is presented.
This hotel is located in a beautiful neighborhood in the Notting Hill area. Front desk was wonderful & let us check in early & was always responsive to any questions. It is easy to get to the Underground which makes traveling in London a breeze. Great experience & I would stay there again.
Reception was very supportive. Located very close to Hyde park and kensington palace. The area around is very nice. The building is OLD but maintainted pretty well.
Clean, functional and close to all amenities.Tube station 5 minute walk away as is a wide and varied food offering.
Continental breakfast had a great selection and was tasty!
I will definitely recommend this place. Everyone is very polite and they treat us very well. We really appreciate all the attention we received. I will come back with my family.
The location was great! Felt very safe walking around as a female traveler, (the neighborhood is beautiful) and it was quite close to the metro station. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were clean and overall nice. We stayed in the triple room and the pull out bed was actually very comfortable. Would stay here again in a future visit to London for sure!
Great stay, great location and great value for money. Big , light triple room. Comfortable big double bed however the extra bed was very uncomfortable and noisy. No hot water to shower last day. But over all we really recommend this nice hotel!
