We did not have breakfast the hotel is under refurbishment. There was an issue with the gas main in the street which sadly affected the hotel and was outside of their control. The air con was good. The room was comfortable. Once the hotel had been refurbished it will be lovely! It met our needs on Marathon weekend and the staff were very good!

The room was certainly adequate. It was smaller, but met our needs. The walls were very thin and we could hear the people next to us talking, but maybe that’s how it goes with these older hotels. It’s a about a 10 minute walk to Paddington in five minutes to Hyde Park.

The hotel is currently under construction so all amenities are inaccessible such as the bar, breakfast, and coffee station. The construction wasn’t too bothersome noise wise. Aside from the construction, the room itself was lovely and we had a comfortable stay. The location is also great. Just a few streets west is a great neighborhood with lots of shops, cafes, and grocery stores. We particularly loved how close we were to Hyde Park. Would stay again!

The hotel, where I have stayed many times before, is under renovation and should not try to stay partially open during renovations!! All they are doing is alienating customers who will very likely not go back. My opinion!!

Hotel is having maintenance carried out so arguably shouldn't be open. No water in the afternoon, fire alarm activation in error at midnight (repeated 4 or 5 times before 1:00a.m.) and a wrongly allocated room at Check-In which meant I walked in on a woman made it a disappointing experience. Thankfully it was only one night.

Lovely area, room clean but getting a bit worn. Currently renovating part of the hotel so no restaurant and not even a public toilet at present. There is a coffee machine near reception but not good quality or quantity. However lovely area beside Kensington Gardens and short walk to restaurants and cafes.

It was a construction site! Literally! No amenities, barely a reception, no warning. Room was fine but really you should not be selling this hotel while its under such heavy construction - the room is not cheap considering you are basically entering a construction zone Very disappointed
