I didn't like the room and services at all. I was planing to stay 10 nights , ended up to one night. Thankfully London has so many new buildings safer, cleaner, better services.

Very conveniently located on a quiet street just a few minutes walk to 2 tube stations that gave great access to the whole London area. Room was spotless, bed very comfortable but they need better pillows. I was a single traveller which means a small room, with very little space for even 1 small suitcase. I would stay again especially for the convenient location.

The hotel is not accessible at all - I have bad knees but we were situated on the top floor and had to walk up 4 flights of stairs to get to our room. The rooms are also very close together and doors slamming kept us awake and woke us up early in the morning. There was also a regular thumping noise somewhere in the property that also stopped us being able to sleep well. However, all staff were lovely and the room and bathroom were really nice. We also had a fan to help with the heat which isn’t common, so we appreciated that too.

Very Clean and very modern room and private bathroom with plenty of plug and usb sockets. I only gave 3 stars for property condition and facilities for the following reasons: 1) the hotel reception is 50 feet away in a different hotel called the Pheonix hotel so a major problem but just slight inconvenience as it was not mentioned when we booked and was already really tired when i arrvied only to be told to walk to another place to check in. 2) the remote control of air conditioning was not working due to battery dead. It was really hot summer day so they replaced it in the end but after a wait again slight inconvenience 3) worst thing was and this was not mentioned durunf booking is that there was no lift! I had to walk 4 flights of stairs to get to my room with my luggage ，fine if you are a regular gym goer but for people like me when the only exercise i do is going up and down my own house - it becomes an exercise on ita own right. I didnt really want to go back down to go out for dinner , for fear of coming back up again! (There are 5 flights of stairs in the whole hotel so lucky dip if you get the top floors!) Overall good location close to underground , very clean room just let down by the flight of stairs and small inconveniences.

For a $200 /night Can. hotel it was very spartan. Perhaps this is what you get for that price in London. Con’s; There is no lift, about 30 stairs up with your bags. Hard single bed. Tiny room. No air conditioning, there was a fan however. You actually check it at the Phoenix hotel down the street and have to buzz to be let in. Pro’s great location in North Kensington. Vibrant street life on Queensway & Underground Bayswater station nearby. Decent bathroom. Clean with lots of hot water and pressure. I would stay again, but not suitable for someone who needs assistance.

Lovely Georgian (I think) buildings. My room on the 4th floor was reached by a narrow staircase which had me puffing carrying luggage room was small but adequate. The only complaint I had was the reasonably priced English breakfast was very mediocre. Some toast and butter would have been nice.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was functional. The rooms are tiny (you have to go outside to change your mind). They are basically a 12x10foot box that has 8x4 foot bathroom built inside. Could hear neighbours talking above and next door. It’s a room for rent. It was cheap and I was never there.
