The hotel is located in a lovely area near Kensington High Street tube station in the west area of London Kensington. The rooms are very clean and well-kept but slightly lacking in space to move around. The service provided was a bit mixed with only one or two members of staff behind check-in, some confusion with the booking that required management intervention. The dining experience included a popular omelette station. The hotel facilities were adequate given the circumstances.

I absolutely loved the hotel's location in a nice district with convenient access to the underground and shops nearby. The room with 2 twin beds and a large bathroom on the upper floors was fantastic, but it was a pity there was no bed for our son. The service was a mix of excellence and confusion, though room service and welcome drink were great perks. The dining experience offered a range of options catering to different tastes, including a very popular omelette station. The facilities were top-notch, perfect to unwind after a day of exploring. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.

I couldn't have asked for a better location! The hotel sits in a nice area close to Kyoto Garden, making it convenient to explore. The rooms are basic but have all the essentials, including a bathtub and two single beds, though the single wardrobe was a bit limiting. While the doorman provided excellent service, there seemed to be a lack of direction among the staff during check-in. The dining experience was decent, especially with the handmade pasta, but some meals were subpar. Despite minor drawbacks, the hotel's prime location near Kensington High Street and its charming surroundings make it a worthwhile stay.

The hotel offers a lovely view over to South Kensington but lacks a mini fridge in the room, and housekeeping responsiveness is an issue.

The hotel is set in a lovely area of Kensington in the west area of London, with the high street just a 2-minute walk away. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but the toilet wasn't cleaned. The service is excellent overall, with some staff members working hard to provide courteous service, though some seemed stressed. The location is great, being very close to the tube station. The dining offers options for all tastes, including a very popular omelette station and serves Thai food. The hotel has nice facilities though lacked a bit in cleanliness. The price is reasonable, but some areas need improvement for better value for money.

The hotel is located very close to High Street Kensington station, making it convenient for accessing London attractions. The rooms, while clean, are a bit cramped with limited space to move around.
