Staying at this hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The rooms, although a bit small and dated, were still cozy, especially considering the superb location right across Hyde Park. The service was consistently friendly and helpful, and the location couldn't be better for exploring London. The dining options were varied, but some minor issues were noted. Despite its shortcomings, the facilities provided a decent stay.

My stay at the hotel was overall positive. The rooms, although smaller than expected, were warm, clean, and had all the necessary extras like a bathrobe and toiletries. However, the heating issues were a downside. The service was exemplary, with the staff being very helpful and friendly despite any pressure they faced. The location was ideal for exploring the Royal Albert Hall and Hyde Park, offering easy access to the bustling Kensington High Street. The dining experience was basic with limited selection, but enough for a short stay. The facilities met my needs during the visit.

The hotel exceeded my expectations with its prime location near Hyde Park and Kensington, making it convenient for my visit to the Royal Albert Hall. The rooms, though not overly spacious, were clean and had everything needed, including a ceiling fan and AC. The service was top-notch, with friendly and knowledgeable staff ready to assist. The dining experience, while offering a basic continental breakfast, could use more variety, but the location and facilities made up for it. All in all, a great value for the price.

The hotel is located in a quiet part and offered a bijou balcony, though the weather didn't allow for its use. The rooms were initially small with no tea making facilities but were quickly upgraded to a much better room. The service was exceptionally helpful, from the Receptionist to the Porter, including a swift room change upon request. The location is ideal for exploring London, being close to various attractions like Hyde Park, Kensington Palace, and the tube station. The dining experience was described as simple but good, with a variety of options. The facilities were rated highly for cleanliness and comfort.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience.

I was attracted to the bright and airy rooms showcased in the online pictures, but upon arrival, I found the lack of AC and limited window openings made the room feel stuffy. Unfortunately, the adjoining communication door and poor isolation led to disturbances from noisy neighbors until late at night. On the bright side, the view towards the park was a pleasant touch.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The junior suite I stayed in was lovely but small, with a hidden kettle making it challenging to enjoy a hot drink. The breakfast experience was unorganized, and we were disappointed to find our superior room felt more like a standard one. On the bright side, the location was ideal for exploring London, but the view from the room overlooked a lower dark space. The hotel's dated rooms and furniture were a downside.
