Hotel good. Facilities poor. Avoid the bar!!!
Lots of lifts out of order. Food in the bar took an hour to arrive then the chicken was dry (overcooked). Guess the ‘chef’ went for a break and forgot it. Then got charged for a double but asked for a single. BEWARE CHECK YOUR BAR BILL!!!

Good quality hotel in a useful location
Staying overnight with a friend. Only used the room for sleeping and twin room is small, although we stayed before and the bedroom was smaller but the bathroom slightly bigger last time, so depends which style you get. Ours was standard and the toilet was immediately inside the bathroom door in a long slim room with shower at the end. It has everything though, kettle, small fridge, iron and board in the wardrobe. Placement of light switches is a bit odd in the headboard so you can switch on/off if you touch them by accident! It would be great to have a light in the bathroom that you can switch on in there, without waking up anyone else in the room at night ;) Nice pool, good showers, good breakfast, good location behind the tube, friendly staff, particularly the doorman :)

Comfortable sleep but let down by furnituring
Good service wasn’t happy with the first room because of the shabbiness and lack of space - couldn’t get around the bed. Carpet and couch looked stained in areas. Staff relocated us to another room in better condition. Comfortable bed and relatively quiet so all in all a good nights sleep. My stay would have been genuinely 3 star if the furnishings especially in the bathroom where in a better condition.

Patched up and not properly fixed
Our room had mould and no air vents on the windows. The bathroom had poor ventilation and the fan was fixed poorly not even fitted correctly just slapped some plasterboard on top of another board instead of fitting it correctly. We had to call maintenance as the bath plug was broke and they even couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

I had a good stay. Can’t beat the location! My room was on the first floor and noisy til about 10 or 11pm due to a “Caribbean Night” in the dining room on my first two nights stay. Usually not a problem but the bass was loud and I was tired and wanted to sleep early and wasn’t notified about the noise/party. It was clean and cozy. Only other issue is when I arrived the heat was on max and it was so hot in my room. Once I turned it down about 10 degrees C and opened the window it was perfect!

Noisy
There was a party at the hotel which didn’t end til 1am. I could hear and feel the music through my room. I didn’t get to seep til half 1. I rang reception twice at 11:30pm and 12:20am and they said the party would be over soon. Instead of depending the rest of the day sight seeing we checked out and drive 3 hours home as we just wanted to get some rest. Really disappointed as the hotel was lovely .

Desperately needs renovation
The room was ok in terms of amenities and bed for a one night stay. On the smaller side but has a little sofa fitted in so not bad. Location is great for a London visit, being 5 minutes from Kensington undergroung and the bus stops on the high street. There is Waitroise 10 minutes walk. Staff are friendly and helpful. But, The room is in desperate need for deep cleaning and renovation. The carpet is not the cleanest, has stains on the side and the wall, and the phone has layers of dirt. The phone line did not work great either as the receptionist did not hear what i was saying and just hung up. They don't provide complementary drinking water bottles. The sofas in the lobby unfortunately are worn out and stained as well. Overall if you really don't have to, look for better options worth this money.
