convenient but not comfortable.
Very difficult to find the hotel entrance, signage is poor. Rooms very small and access on stairs with cases very awkward. Requested gluten free bread at breakfast the night before but the morning staff new nothing about our request. not well managed as it appears to share the management team with a sister hotel that is a mile away.

Decent Hotel Close To Attractions
Stayed here after a night at winter wonderland and oxford street, it is close to Hyde Park, Kensington, Buckingham Palace and so forth. The room size is the size of a typical bedroom so don't expect a giant amount of space since this is a hotel that has been converted from a multistory property I believe. Overall is was decent for what we wanted was a one night stay, however if you got luggage and many bags this will likely be to small for you or family's of 2/3 sharing one room.

Fairly acceptable hotel
Quite small hotel in a okay location to central London. Room and bed was small and not so comfortable for 2 adults. Nice shower but it randomly went scalding hot for brief moments. Rear facing room view was not attractive. Narrow stairs to the lobby with no elevator so it would be a problem with heavy luggage. Elevator to the rest of the floors is a little scary. It kept stopping while descending one time. Nice breakfast room with view over Kensington high street and the park. Overall I felt we could have had better value for the price - especially considering the time of year.

It's tiny!
The rooms are tiny and the beds are only 4.5 foot wide. You wouldn't be able to even store two suitcases without tripping over them. I'm not kidding. There's no kitchen either so breakfast is cereal or toast only. If you need a cheap hotel in that location then it'll do for a night but don't use it as a base for a London city break.

Location
The only benefit is it is across the street from Hyde Park and a short walk from Kensington Palace which was nice to see. Otherwise, I'd never stay there again. You have to walk up two flights of narrow dirty stairs with your luggage before you get to the reception desk. Then you can take a very slow elevator to your floor.

pretty good for price
If you are looking for something affordable...this is the spot. Free fast wifi and conveniently near shops and restaurants. Pros: Location Price Free wifi and breakfast Super nice and helpful staff Cons: Breakfast=toast/coffee/tea/condiments No fridge or microwave in room (not in communal area either-have to ask staff to heat or cool something) Go up stairs before seeing lift. *lastly, rooms are nice and comfy but do not get a single room and expect it to be roomie..it is VERY small*

Good location bad room bad road noise so no sleep
Handy location, but the minuscule room i had was facing Kensington High street with faulty windows, so probably would have been better with a single bed in it and if the windows were fixed. The noise of the traffic on Kensington High Street was like sleeping on the Motorway all through the night and into the morning hours, so no sleep at all. They had no other room as they were fully booked so I couldn't change rooms, and the receptionist looked at the faulty window but had no options for me. I travel for work 200 days a year this is the worst I have experienced, its a shame I paid in advance as I certainly wouldn't have paid for the room if I hadn't Would not use again

Small adequate hotel for a short stay
Small hotel you could walk past and not see it, but it was adequate for an overnight stay. Breakfast was ok but the quiet room we were promised didn't materialise and we had to take one at the front which was noisier.

Great location and value but slightly basic
Hotels in London are expensive so in the end everything comes down to price. The hotel is pretty cheap for the area so you can't expect luxury. Once you realise that then I think the hotel is pretty good. The location is super, right on the high street and opposite the corner of Kensington gardens. The entrance is tiny, you'll miss it first time. It's just the width of an ordinary door then you go straight up some narrow stairs, the same sort of width as an ordinary house and then the rest of the hotel is on the floors above. The rooms are an OK size, the bathroom is small, but serviceable and the shower was good and powerful. The windows have secondary glazing which is good at keeping the noise out but makes the room very stuffy. The air-conditioning wasn't really up to a hot day in August so we ended up leaving the windows open which meant it was pretty noisy until about 3am but on a cooler day you would probably be OK. Breakfast is very basic, not much choice and no cooked stuff but you could easily find breakfast nearby if that was important. There is a nespresso machine so at least the coffee was OK. For what we paid I thought it was good value for money for the location, we used to walk through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park and be on Picadilly with only having walked on streets for a hundred meters or so. If you want more comfort then you probably need to up your budget a bit.
