The staff were great and always very friendly! The room was a good size and great location for everything in South Kensington. However, the room did not retain warmth very well, the provided electric heater was not powerful enough to warm the room, nor was the central heating system which we had to set to 30 degrees c for it to pump out air that had a hint of warmth. The room also lacked bedside lights, which would have been nice so that we could read without the use of the bright main light.

The staff during check in were great to meet and greet the guest. I had a lovely and nice decoration for our anniversary. But the downside it was a poor breakfast. Fair enough the breakfast start at 7am. Went down for breakfast after 30 mins and the boiled eggs were cold. I wanted fried eggs but nothing there apart from scrambled and boiled eggs. If you are the kind of person that like to book hotel with breakfast and this would be the wrong hotel. Without breakfast this hotel is worth to book. Furthermore my room didn’t have minibar. I would expect to be empty but no minibar. Even for longer stay guest especially for summer if you want to keep the drinks cooler. I would not visit this hotel again in near future.

Such a fun place to stay. And very comfortable. Bedroom was very clean and bathroom had an awesome heated floor. If I were to make any suggestions it would be to provide more than 2 tiny sachets of milk for the coffee machine and for shower caps to be available. But really, if that’s it? Wow!

Overall ok

Experience was ok. I was a bit let down that there was no instructions for the hot tub, nor was it explained at check in. In the end my partner had to find a member of bar staff who was helpful in turning on the power from the mains. The challenge is, the tub then took almost 8 hours to heat up. Bit of a let down when you pay extra for it. In future might be best to have it turned on prior to check in. Otherwise than that it was a good stay.

Overall, the hotel is clean and well-maintained, with friendly staff and a convenient location that offers easy access. However, I did experience an issue with the noise from the ventilation system (not the A/C) in my room, which was quite loud and made it challenging to sleep at night.

Lovely hotel at great price. Was given an upgrade to a suite which was amazing and a very welcome surprise on checking in. Contacted hotel twice about general queries prior to arriving and both times email was answered extremely quickly and efficiently. Very good hotel in London with excellent staff.

This hotel was perfect for spending a night within London and not being too expensive. Decoration is fantastic and the room was ideal. Comfy bed and there was a bath and a shower in our bathroom, which was good. The only thing I would say is the shower temperature was lukewarm because they have a lock to make it hotter. I did inform reception so hopefully they will speak to management to get this looked into, otherwise great stay and would recommend.

Would stay again

Stayed for 1 night in the drop dead gorgeous splash suite for my partners birthday. The suite definitely has the wow factor. 3 rooms - a living room, bedroom and huge bathroom with 2 person Jacuzzi, bath and double shower. The tv on the wall by the jacuzzi is a lovely touch too. Tv in every room. Aircon/heating unit was helpful to manage temp as bedroom got quite warm due to splash room. Room was clean. I mentioned it was by partners birthday before we arrived and they decorated with balloons and rose petals for no extra charges - very nice surprise. Drinks and pizza are available all day all night which was great. If I had to choose somthing that wasn’t 5* it would be the breakfast. A lot of cold meats and cheese - just not for my taste. The sausages, scrambled eggs and bacon was all cold in the serving trays and we was down for breakfast at 8am. The pastry’s were fresh and soft. The room was great except could do with a carpet cleaner - quite a few stains. No water in the room and I think £15 for 1 latte and 2 bottles of still water was excessive considering the cost of the room. Would stay again. Staff were pleasant. Please be aware that the hotel state there is a £50 security deposit however when we got there they charged us £100 deposit
