Our room was amazing! Lovely balcony and nice sitting area. The staff was willing to move us to this room upon check in because our original room was so hot (on the third floor, no AC). Recommend asking for a room on a lower level. Beds were a little too hard for our liking. Staff was so friendly and helpful! Would definitely stay again!

Perfect for Natural History Museum. Also, right near Gloucester Road and South Kensington stations so on the Piccadilly Line so very easy to get to Hyde Park, Knightsbridge, Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street and Arsenal FC. Staff were really helpful and the room was perfect. Bed was very comfortable and the shower nice and powerful.

We are on the 5/F. Yet the lift was out of order on the 1st day of our stay till we left (4 days). Though the staff helped to carry luggages down the stairs, it was dtill inconvenience throughout our stay. Another problem was that there was NO AIR-CONDITIONING in the hotel. We have to open the windows before going to bed. Luckily the weather was not as jot as a week ago or we will be boiling hot. Yet kept the windows opened meant noise from the street….
