I enjoyed my stay! The hotel is nicer in person. I was bothered that they did not have wash clothes and there was no microwave anywhere in the hotel. However, there is a microwave across the street. Staff was great and the area is beautiful.

Property is quite worn down. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything from neighboring rooms and outside. Carpeted floors are also quite dirty. Aside from that, the staff were incredibly helpful and kind.

Hotel was in a fantastic location - lots going on in surrounding area but the road the hotel was in was quiet and so we had a good night's sleep. All staff were lovely - kind - well mannered and keen to help even though we checked it in the early hours of the morning. The sister hotel was a bonus - good breakfasts in the morning and great cocktails early evening. We had a standard double and it had everything we needed - compact but perfect. We will definitely stay here again

Very convenient for the museums and university on Exhibition Road. Lots of good places to eat nearby also. Rooms are a little on the small side, though perfectly nice — but then you're staying in South Kensington, so maybe that's to be expected. Had an enjoyable stay.
