Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's great location and friendly staff, with many highlighting the convenience to local attractions. However, there were significant complaints regarding noise levels, especially from nearby schools and traffic, as well as cleanliness issues in some rooms, particularly those located in the basement. Overall, while the location and service were praised, the noise and cleanliness detracted from the experience for several guests.

Brad, Aug 2017
Pros (+) Location. 2 alcoves for a family of 4, a little tight but well- suited.
Cons (-) Non-potable water from the sink? At least they let us refill our drinking bottles in the kitchen. Very labile hot-cold settings on the ahower. Tired building- carpets etc a little shabby.

Anonymous, Jan 2016
Pros (+) The bathtub was nice and the mattress put us to sleep. Decor was interesting and the tv was large. It is very close to the tube and attractions making it useful to walk to many attractions in South Kensington and Westminister.
Cons (-) The room was small (drawers could not be opened without adjusting other furniture). The ambiance was not pleasant, borderline spooky. The staff fumbled with almost everything and were unclear about important details.
