Gabrielle, United Kingdom

There is a pitcher of lemon water and cake upon arrival, and the staff is very attentiv and helpful. Ther bed was exta confortable, and there were different kinds of pillows (firm, fluffy, etc), also the duvet was not too heavy, therfore the temperature was perfect. The room was elegant, quiet and large, easily the best I have stayed in in London. The espresso is Illy, and made the Italian way. the location is fantastici for this part of town.

Chiara, Italy

The room was very large and the decorations excellent. A fabulous staff, great breakfast and we had dinner in the hotel and it was fantastic. The location is amazing. 2 blocks from a tube station and very close to museu+ms and shopping.

“Quiet room in a good location”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveller
- • Superior Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉AC was our of order (replaced by a noisy transportable device). Continental breakfast was small - though coffee was very good (far from the typical lousy English variety).
눇Good location, on a quiet street, not far from Gloucester Road tube station. Room had very little noise, as it faced the yard. Fridge in the room. The room was rather small (though perhaps not really by London standards), but with an unusually high ceiling, must be 4 m tall!

눉No aircon, made sleeping difficult. We stayed at the hotel with another couple and the air con in their room was also broken. We asked after the first night and were told someone would bring some air con units to the rooms, they never appeared, in either room. We did mention this when checking out and no compensation was offered.
눇Lovely hotel. Very clean, nice environment, excellent location.

눉The big fat loud air conditioning unit at the foot of the bed. Had to squeeze past it to get into bed & the big hose hung out the window looking ugly. A small attic room didn't help matters, so I cannot say I felt like it was worth the money.
눇Location was spot on

“Nice (warm) Hotel, a little over priced, would stay again.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Superior Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Chipped sink, water stains in blinds and curtains. Decor a little dated and could benefit from a make over. Noisy ineffective portable air conditioning unit provided in room. No slippers provided in room. Overpriced snacks and mini bar - Crisps £2, small bottle of wine £15. Overpriced continental Breakfast - Tea, Juice and toast approx £10. Would also benefit if hotel provided tea and coffee making facilities in room.
눇Lovely location, quirky building/hotel, very helpful/friendly Staff.

“dont get the attic room”
- • Leisure trip

- • Superior Double Room

눉leaving and getting a good nights sleep when a i got home
눇the bed was great really comfy . we had the attic room which had a stand alone air-con system which had a large exhaust pipe that had to go out the window so the window had to stay open all night you could not close the curtains as there was a large pipe in the way if you kept the air-con on it would wake you up all night as it went on and off .and being the attic it was very warm me and my partner had 3 nights of very poor sleep . the room also does not have any tea or coffee facilities .on the first morning of our stay at the back of 7 i phone room service for a tea and coffee the phone rang and rang but to no avail i was on the phone twice for 6 mins no answer .p.s as you could not shut the curtains as soon as it was light that was you up .the windows was meant to have 3 blinds but there was only 1 as the other 2 had been taken down so they could put the pipe out the window and when i say pipe it was massive like the ones you get with a tumble dryer so the window had to be open at least 25cm which was great for all the buglife but nobody else never have i spent so much for a room and got so little

“Overpriced hotel from the '70's”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Four Poster Bed
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉Old fashioned hotel. Needs a serious renovation. Carpet in the hotel is from the 70's. The air-condition in the room is a very noisy hired unit which stands on the floor. Staff is mostly from Eastern Europe where they don't write hospitality with a capital 'H'. The hotel is completely over-priced.
눇The area around Gloucester Road / South Kensington is very nice; however try to book another hotel!

“Terrible management”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Executive King Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The air-conditioning wasn't working. The front desk sent up a portable unit but it made so much noise that we couldn't sleep with it on. After the first night, we said that we couldn't stay without aircon and they said that the aircon wasn't working in the entire hotel and hadn't for a week. We asked to checkout and to pay for the night we stayed and that we would find alternative accommodation for the balance of our stay. The general manager agreed while we were there and then reneged on the deal. I ended up double paying my accommodation for the period. There was also someone else's underwear in the drawer when we checked in. I am a very unhappy customer.
눇The staff at the front desk were very helpful and the location is good
