It’s a lovely small hotel in a beautiful neighborhood. Surrounded by wide choices of restaurants and cafes. Being next to South Kensington Station, with access to many buses and underground tubes, is very practical. The staff are extremely friendly and professional. The housekeeping is one of the best I’ve ever encountered during my travels, I raise my hat for them.
KuwaitBreakfast and small restaurant on lower level were great. Location was wonderful, bus in front, good restaurants in walking distance, friendly and accommodating staff.
United States of AmericaIt is very close to the South Kensington station, the shopping area, and the museums. Many restaurant options too. Good stay in such a lovely hotel with comfy bed and nice bathroom. Would love to come back next time in London.
TaiwanA bit pricey, but fabulous, friendly and helpful staff. Almost across the street from the South Kensington metro stop, so very convenient and beautiful location. Lots of dining options nearby, as well as good restaurant downstairs. Lots of unexpected extras, like an umbrella in my room, bathrobes, slippers, free coffee, tea and snacks, heated bathroom floor. Lovely spacious room.
United States of AmericaI loved staying here! You can see it from the South Kensington underground station. It’s lovely and quiet inside. I loved the bath by the window! Everything feels super luxurious and great staff!
United States of AmericaLocation is great for easy access from LHR and to museums
United States of AmericaSituated very close to South Kensington Tube station, rooms and public spaces pristine clean.
United States of AmericaThe hotel is truly lovely. I think we had the smallest room there which I booked unknowingly. But it worked just fine. The bed was so comfy. There were slippers and robes and the bathroom floor was heated. The daily tea was also very nice. I can't write enough to explain how exceptional the hotel, staff and location were. You will have to try it for yourself. Overall I plan to go back to London and stay here again.
United States of AmericaThe location is great. Right around the corner from the V&A and the Natural History Museum. Across the street from the Tube, and surrounded by great restaurants. This was the perfect home base for a weekend in London. The decor was charming and whimsical, sort of Alice in Wonderland with lots of bright colors and a bird theme which ran through the hotel. Our room was small as most London Hotels are, and finding a place to stow the luggage was a bit of a hat trick, but once we figured it out, everything was great. Although we never had breakfast at the hotel, we did have morning coffee and tea in the tea room every day. Delightful. Would return in an instant!
United States of AmericaGreat location, great bar and restaurant. Very cool in decor and atmosphere.
