Great location and lovely ambiance. Short walk to Gloucester Road tube and lots of bars, restraurants and pubs in the local area. Very convenient for the Royal Albert Hall. Room service was prompt and efficient.

John, United Kingdom

In 2015, the hotel was awarded a certificate of excellence but since then it has gone downhill as it has been recently taken over by someone else. The managing director, an Italian gentleman was very polite and helpful.

Joss, Italy

bed very comfy ,the hotel is like an old family house with charm .I order a dinner in my bedroom and it was delicious the lady from the restaurant was "de bons conseils " and very smiling

Dominique, Switzerland

The staff were really considerate and changed my room so I had an easy access shower.

Kate, Australia

Marije, Norway

Homely,clean,warm welcome, four poster, location, overall feel

Jonathan, France

The guy on reception was very helpful in finding me a room with a bath as the single room I had booked only had a shower. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet, I couldn’t hear any noise from the rest of the hotel. Good widescreen TV with a DVD player (but bring your own DVDs). The Persian food was very nice and definitely a bonus.

Perfect location close to Gloucester Road station and walking distance to V&A etc

- minibar with a few items - Continental Breakfast was very poor, we asked for an extra espresso and we were told it was to be paid - Room cleaning: very poor, curtains and bathroom dirty. - Windows dirty - Room standard: very low, materasso very uncomfortable. - Towels: only shower towels, medium and/or small towels missing; - Safety box: not working - Not even hot tea in the rooms - Courtesy mobile phone in the room: not working - ClockAlarm next to the bed: not working The place is not old fashion but there is a lack of mantainance furthermore these people do not absolutely know how to make the job of hosting. Waiters during breakfast: do not know how to do their job. This type of structure and the type of hospitality is a very low level, much lower then advertised at the level just a little higher of a youth hostel.

Television was in a cupboard, so you would have to lift it out and there was nothing to put it on. Carpet was stained, fittings and phone were dusty. Included breakfast, very disappointed , toast and danish only, no cereal, not really a continental breakfast, I requested the caffetiere, but got a cup of coffee... set up as a quality establishment but fell short, especially with the dirty stained carpet, that made me feel uneasy.
