Good value for money in good location

Could do with re-decoration as very old fashioned and tired. Toilet was loose and the toilet roll holder fell off the wall when I touched it!

pleasant experience
(108055101)

attractive room, comfortable, lovely building, lounge/bar area pleasant, drinks not overpriced! Some reception staff were very pleasant and helpful.

no tea and coffee facilities in room, very noisy with balcony door open and stuffy if shut. Checkin person not very welcoming, when I arrived dripping wet after longish walk!

The hotel location was good, with excellent amenities in the area.
The room was fairly spacious, but our room 218 overlooked the front gardens, which meant that the traffic noise was very loud, and without earplugs would have caused me problems sleeping.
The room was very clean, and the bed comfortable.
Staff were most helpful and friendly, and the breakfast, although basic, was adequate.
All in all, the hotel offered good value accomodation for a one night stay, but I dont think I would want to spend any longer - due to traffic noise in bedrooms at front - must remember to ask for a rear bedroom next time.
(97862553)

The location to the London Tube Gloucester Road was excellent, and the restaurants and bars in the area were great.
The Hotel room was a good size, and the breakfast was adequate for the price.

The single glazing at the front of the hotel made night time noisy, but I had read this in other reviews so took my ear plugs with me.
Tea making facilities should be available.
Cold tap made a terribe banging noise when first turned on - worried to use this during the night.

I would reccomend it if the location is essential for you as well as the money you spend. I would not recommend to you if a decent bathroom is important for you. Before arriving, I was considering the idea of booking a summer vacation with my kids, I was with a friend this time, but after I saw the bathroom I changed my mind and I will book with another hotel.
(97497315)

The location was great I knew the area and the hotel, from the outside, because I used to live nearby. The hall was very nice and so are the common bathrooms.

The bathroom in the room very really tiny, old and not well kept, the shower curtain was old and dirty. You would not like to stay too long in it.

Overall the accommodation and venue was excellent. It would have been good to have another choice of an English TV channel, tea or coffee making facilities. One or two of the staff were abrupt and unhelpful but others were extremely pleasant.
(99978550)

Very good accommodation, pleasant room and all facilities (except tea or coffee making)

No tea or coffee and one or two of the staff were less that friendly or helpful

Good clean hotel in a good location. Good continental breakfast but can get cooked breakfast charge extra. Instructions on net on location not very good but phoned hotel reception and they gave us directions. Easiest route south kensington station (underground). quiet area good links to public transport and very good value for money. I would definitely book here again next time.

I liked the fact that the rooms were interconnecting so my young daughter could have her own little bedroom; this was better than 3 beds in the one room which is what most hotels offer for 3 people.

The bath was rather small but this was ok and didn't affect my enjoyment of the hotel.
Nigel from Shrewsbury, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 30 March 2007
Overall a pleasant stay in a good, well heeled, central location with friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of choice of restaurants within easy walking distance. We certainly didn't feel threatened walking back to the hotel at night.
The decor in the breakfast room could do with an update, but that is more a comment than a criticism.
(99573927)

Good location. Breakfast provided within price of the room.

Traffic noise took a bit of getting used to - double-glazing would have helped ... but we are from the country! Also worth saying that the hotel is not on a main road.
Trevor from Belfast, GB (Solo business traveller) 27 March 2007
Be aware that rooms at the front of the hotel have a lot of traffic noise. There is no double glazing to cut down the noise

Proximity to Picadilly line

Traffic noise in rooms at front of hotel
Anonymous (Family with older children) 14 March 2007
Pleasant and helpful staff. Reasonably large room overlooking gardens which meant lots of traffic noise but this is to be expected anywhere in London. Bathrooms old and cramped and room very hot - no thermostat to turndown radiators.
Breakfast was an experience not to be repeated- truly awful!
But a good position for visiting Kensington and Chelsea.

Rosemary from Dundonald, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 01 December 2006
Excellent location 4 minutes walk from Gloucester Road tube station.
Good restaurants and cafes very near hotel. Easy walking distance to Harrods, Royal Albert Hall, museums etc. Cooked breakfast available at extra charge but the continental breakfast was more than adequate, cereal juice fruit toast marmalade tea and coffee.
No tea making facilities in bedrooms but all drinks available in small comfortable bar at reasonable cost. Free left luggage facilities. Rooms available from 12 noon. A very reasonably priced hotel but the rooms are small and were very hot. We couldn't open the window and there is no air conditioning.

Anonymous (Solo business traveller) 13 June 2006
The service and location are good in this hotel, and it's clean, but the room facilities are quite basic for the price. I'm a frequent traveller on business throughout England, and I'm not sure why it's only London hotels that do not offer a cooked breakfast included in the price ('Continental Breakfast' was basically toast or cereal!) or tea and coffee in the rooms. An OK hotel for overnight business or a weekend break, but I wouldn't want to stay for much longer.

El hotel me ha gustado, estaba en una buena zona y de fácil acceso. Sin embargo, elegí ese hotel porque estaba el desayuno incluido y de haber sabido como era a lo mejor hubiera elegido otro hotel
(2936489)

El hotel estaba bien situado, si bien la habitación era pequeña y el cuarto de baño también, aunque estaban muy limpios. Sin embargo el desayuno era muy pobre y me parece que no estaba al nivel del hotel

Creo que sería necesario que mejoraran el desayuno, nuca he estado en un hotel con un desayuno tan escaso, para eso sería mejor que no lo incluyeran en el precio de la habitación.
