Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms are small but lovely with a park view. The service was polite and helpful, although some aspects need improvement. The location is excellent for exploring the area but may not suit all preferences. The dining was really nice, and the facilities offer a decent experience.
The rooms were well appointed with a view of the park and very comfortable, featuring probably the best shower I've had in a hotel. The room was very small, even by London standards, with no space for two people to pass and only one person could be in the bathroom at a time. Unfortunately, the room was dirty.
The hotel offers clean and reasonably spacious rooms with friendly and helpful staff. Its perfect location allows easy access to transportation options, though parking can be pricey nearby. The dining options are tasty but might be a bit expensive. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very clean, and the breakfast was excellent, but they were smaller than I had expected. The air conditioning only blew cold air initially, but after informing the front desk, they promptly sent up a heater, which was helpful. The availability of towels could be better, but the hotel's proximity to the central line was convenient.
I had a great stay at this hotel! The location was fantastic, right in front of Hyde Park, making it easy to walk to High Street Kensington or Marble Arch. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and the evening meal was delicious. The breakfast was filling and tasty, and the room was nice with a view of Hyde Park. Overall, a perfect stay with friendly and helpful staff.
The hotel's location is superb, just minutes away from Queensway and Bayswater tube stations and opposite the beautiful Kensington Gardens. The rooms are cozy and include modern coffee machines, which I always appreciate. However, the service was disappointing with outdated furniture and a lackluster breakfast selection. The location is convenient for my needs, but the price might be a bit high for what's offered.
The hotel definitely did not meet my expectations for a 4-star stay. The rooms were not prepared as requested, giving off a more 2-star vibe. The overall cleanliness and maintenance were lacking, with unexpected findings left behind. The lack of essential amenities like soap and hand towels was disappointing, and the bar not being open in the evenings was a letdown. I will not be recommending this hotel.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, though a decent size, lacked basic amenities like even a bottle of water, forcing me to go out to buy some. The location was convenient, near tourist places, but not ideal for families on holiday. The service was friendly but had some noticeable errors. The dining options were good but expensive without included breakfast.
The hotel is in a fantastic location, with great eating choices nearby and easy access to tube stops. The rooms were spacious and perfect for two adults and a child, clean and comfortable. The service from the friendly staff was excellent. The dining experience was amazing and good value for money.
