Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to tourist attractions, museums, and transportation options. The rooms offer comfort and necessary amenities, although some may need decor updates. The service is exceptionally friendly and helpful, with standout staff members making the stay more enjoyable. The dining options provide a good variety of quality selections. Overall, a great choice for a stay in this bustling area.
The hotel location is perfect, just across the tube station, making it wonderfully central with easy access to key attractions. The rooms, though expensive, were not as spacious as expected, with a narrow corridor causing inconvenience. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist in any situation. Dining options were limited, but served in a fancy atmosphere. Overall, a great stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. Although the room was generally very dark and old-fashioned, it was well-appointed with nice amenities. The service, with the honesty bar, was very helpful and attentive. The location was amazing, perfect for exploring Kensington and Chelsea, but the dining experience was average. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
I had mixed feelings about this hotel. The rooms were dimly lit and had tired, stained wallpaper from room to room, and they were a lot smaller than I expected. On the bright side, the service was a bit unreliable, but Daniella at the front desk was a standout. The location couldn't have been better, with great positioning near the tube and museums, and right across from South Kensington tube station. The dining experience was okay, a bit delayed, but traditional local cakes were a nice touch. Despite some drawbacks, the facilities were decent.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, though slightly small, were furnished luxuriously. The check-in process was a bit delayed, but the hotel's location was perfect for exploring London. The dining options could be improved, but overall, it was a convenient stay.
The hotel offers excellent rooms and a warm atmosphere, perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine. However, the dining experience may not meet expectations. The location is fantastic, just steps away from South Kensington tube station and surrounded by restaurants and shops.
The hotel is located perfectly, just in front of South Kensington station, offering bright and well-furnished rooms with a pleasant view. The 'honest bar' and fireplace add a cozy touch, although the rooms are a bit small for luggage. The service is top-notch, with helpful and organized staff catering to our every need. The location is brilliant, with easy access to buses, taxis, and the underground, ideal for exploring central London. Dining options may not be the best, but the hotel makes up for it with other facilities and amenities.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were well furnished, bright, and equipped with all comforts. However, the size of the room was extremely small, not matching the impression from the booking. The view of South Kensington station was nice, but contacting reception via phone was a challenge during our stay.
The hotel offers rooms that are comfortable and cozy, great and helpful staff, but the experience was marred by disappointment. The location is central and convenient, with easy access to transport. The dining, while fancy, was expensive and lacked variety.
The hotel had a very awkwardly shaped, small room, which was extremely disappointing. However, the friendly and helpful service, especially from Concierge Krisztian and Front Desk Clerk Daniela, stood out as the best part of the stay. The location was perfect, right across the street from a tube station, offering excellent food and a nice relaxing ambiance. The dining experience was phenomenal with a wide range of high-quality choices. Despite the room's shortcomings, the hotel's overall service and location made up for it.
