The location of the property is excellent. We enjoyed strolling the back streets of South Kensington and Chelsea, finding lovely little restaurants and coffee shops. Our check-in experience was great, we were upgraded to a suite which was a really pleasant surprise upon arrival. Our bed was SO incredibly comfy, we had the best nights sleep! The staff are wonderful, really friendly and engaging. Breakfast was delicious - the restaurant is very cool and relaxed, it's the perfect spot to take your time and plan your day ahead.
