The first night my room was very cold. The next day (probably) housekeeping had turned on the radiator. When i came back at night, the room was about 30 degree and the radiator too hot to touch. I was left balancing the temperature my self by opening the window and adjusting the radiator. Also the water pressure was so low it was difficult to wash and it took forever until it was warm enough.

Room was clean and had a kettle with teabags and coffee sachets. It is close to a lot of shops and restaurants. We went to a lovely cafe called Charlie’s kitchen (I believe) which was lovely. It is a 5 min or less walk to the bayswater tube station and another minute to Queensway tube station from there. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Staff were really friendly. Desk is open 24 hours.

A perfect location in the city in a wonderful neighborhood. Affordable in comparison to other locations in the city, and perfect for a solo traveler. Lots of options for food nearby, however may be a bit warmer in non-colder weather. I had a great stay, and would stay here again if I could!
