Great location.
Great location for Royal Albert Hall, Hyde park, and Kensington area. The hotel is very nicely presented. The downside for us was the small room.

10/10 Exceptional

Refurbishment continues at a good pace. My room was freshly done, quite lovely, and remarkably spacious. Staff was on hand to check me in, even long before normal check-in hours, and did not charge me a premium for early check-in (about 2 hours early). They had a little difficulty finding my prepayment record, but gamely continued searching the system until they found it. The location is absolutely stunning, half a block from Kensington Gardens and only a five-minute walk to the restaurants and shops on Kensington High Street. This hotel is an excellent quality for the price, and I will certainly stay here again.

Staff is super nice & helpful. The breakfast is excellent with a wide variety of buffet style offerings. Older building could hear the people upstairs walking around all night. Thankfully they were kind enough to move me to a quieter room. Carpets are worn in the room. Perfect location near Kensington Palace.

Enjoyable stay
Great location near Kensington Palace. Nice old house. Pleasant personnel. Good (not amazing) breakfast. Everything in good/great condition except that the carpet in our bedroom needed to be replaced (old and dirty). Small room (par for the course).

Overall great place and price but...
Great location and amazing breakfast for the price of the stay but as usual single room very small though spotless. However television not working. No info re wi fi sign in either in the room or on the card holding the key. Apparently it was in reception but not pointed out. No way in the room to contact reception to ask so any query like this meant a trip 4 floors down to reception. Having said all this for £50 it was amazing value and I would recommend and will certainly stay again.

Ideal location for Royal Albert Hall
Older hotel with friendly staff and decent continental breakfast. The bed was comfortable and nice clean bathroom with lovely white soft fluffy towels, good shower with loads of hot water. The room itself was smaller than expected and downside, there was no drawers only shelves inside a small cupboard which was impossible to put anything in as the shelves faced sideways not to the front with a few hangers for hanging clothes above an ironing board with iron on high shelf above. There was coffee,tea and kettle and bottle of water. Wifi reception was a problem as kept buffering when trying to watch a tennis match. Excellent location for Royal Albert Hall about 7-10 minute walk.

This is a lovely hotel in an even lovelier area. The room we had was adequate though snug, no extra room for sure. The bathroom was spacious by London standards. The furnishings were adequate though a dresser would have been helpful. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel serves a lovely breakfast that surpassed our expectations. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, the hotel is well worn and adequately kept up. The location is fabulous, just blocks from Kensington Gardens and the Palace. A decent walk to the tube station and many restaurants to choose from in the area makes it a convenient location.

We really enjoyed it here. Location is amazing. Surprisingly quiet for being right of Kensington High Street. Very romantic. Decent bed, not great/not bad We are pretty sure it's haunted after our stay, but we still really enjoyed it!

2/10 Poor

Old and extremely rundown in a convenient location near one of the entrances to Hyde Park I was given a very small room and when I asked to borrow an umbrella for the evening since it was raining the manager told me they had none if a hotel has no umbrella to provide its guest in London You know there’s a problem The mattress was way too soft If you have a bad back you will not be able to get up in the morning
