The breakfast was good and the area was nice. We were early and the staff got us into our room quickly. There was transportation close and restaurants close but unfortunately the staff was not a great help on how to get around. A suggestion would be to have a map of the area that they could write on to show where things are and maybe instructions on the bus routes and subways.

Great hotel, location is close to a bus stop and a nice walk around the area. It's a quiet street as well so you can really get some rest. The best part really was that the pillows were memory foam (I have very similar ones at home) so that was really a nice surprise for me. I specifically chose this hotel as it also had a bidet in the bathroom. Room's not the biggest, but I didn't stay much in my room other than to sleep so that's really a non-issue for me. Overall really nice stay.

Disappointing

We booked a deluxe room, with king size bed, we got a room in the basement next to the kitchen, when the breakfast for cooking our room smelt of fat, .

Incredible property for such reasonable rates. Modern, clean, quiet and well appointed rooms. Beautiful tree lined street. Friendly helpful staff. Lovely courtyard and breakfast room with large window view. Free breakfast with good selections. We were able to bike to Kensington palace and park. Bus routes at top of street. Only wish the Tube was closer. Couldn’t have been more happy we chose this place.

There were two strange things that could be changed. 1. The showere floor was at the exact level with the bathroom floor. Nothing existed to keep the eater from running all over the bathroom. We had to waste towels to dry it and ran out of towels. 2. The friges was in a clsed cabinet which heated up and kept the fridge warm. However, the staff was kind and the hotel was very clean.

Good for a one night stay

Rooms were small but well furnished. Receptionist was very friendly (as were other staff), hotel was clean and tidy throughout. It's a small hotel, only around15 rooms. We were at the front and room was quiet, with only a small amount of traffic noise. Breakfast was a little disappointing as no bacon on the cooked option and the coffee machine was out of order (so only instant coffee available). Best bet for public transport is bus, with nearest stops a couple of minutes walk away - includes a route straight into central london (Aldwych). The nearby tube station is only open when there are major events on at Olympia

Avoid this hotel. They practice bait and switch bookings. We booked and paid in full for a Deluxe king bed room. On arrival it was immediately obvious our room was not the one advertised, tiny, ripped curtains not even room to open a suitcase without putting it on the double (Not King) bed. We went immediately to reception.They said there were no other rooms available and that "you must be American, you don't understand that beds are smaller here in London". Which is nonesense. We later got access to view the room we had booked and it was spacious, with a proper king bed. They refused to move us to that room, or to refund the difference. We were told the hotel was fully/overbooked. Expedia was also no help, despite us sending photos and confirming we had booked and paid for the more expensive room. The breakfast supplied is also misleading: broken coffee machine, only cold greasy options, nothing at all like the promotional video on the site. The lighted mirror in our bathroom was broken (reception told us none of them were working due to wiring issues) and the shower floods the floors with every use (broken hose on the head and curtain doesn't reach the floor) A shoddy place with shoddy business practices. After multiple contacts with multiple agents it became apparent Expedia doesn't really care either. Everyone is getting their money. Only the customer pays the price. We will never deal with either of these companies again for our travels.
