The hotel was an accidental discovery as I didnt get any options during this very peak season. It was a great choice for us. For the price I paid, the rooms are a delight, the location great and the service was OK. All the little things missing from the service (like no bottled water in the room (had to ask... More

Lovely reno - well appointed, if small, rooms. Good bathrooms, lots of amenities and super comfy beds. Windows open, great transit access. Very early check in after an overnight flight. Couldn't ask for more.

I stayed here for one night during a weekend city break in London with my husband. The location is perfect – right in the heart of the museum district and very convenient for the tube, plus local bars, cafes, and restaurants. It's also handy for a walk in Hyde Park. The decor of the hotel is very stylish, and all... More

Chose this hotel for its location so near to the Albert hall and fell in love with it! We arrived a little early but no problem as we were taken straight to our room, which was a little on the small side, but that is my only criticism of this lovely hotel. The staff were friendly and very helpful and... More

Stayed two separate nights in a week. It is a well designed, newish hotel in a great location by the South Kensington tube station. Easy for Heathrow, museums, shopping and lots of cafes/restaurants nearby. The staff were very pleasant and very accommodating. They deserve a pat on the back for jobs well done. The rooms are well equipped and nicely... More
