This was a nice little no frills hotel in a brilliant location close to Kensington Gardens and several methods of accessable public transport. The small issues I had with this hotel was the fact that there was no lift, the bathroom was very dated and the bed was not very comfortable. But for the price I paid those are trivial... More

Stayed in this hotel for a few days on my first visit to London. I didn't come to the city to see a hotel and spend time in the room so I wasn't expecting or wanting to spend for a 5 star experience. The tube stop wasn't a terribly far walk and getting there was pretty easy from the airport... More

We stayed for 3 days in August and had a great experience it was friendly staff helpful, great room. It added to the overall experience of our visit to London. We walked to NottingHill and caught the tube into the city. Shopped ,took a bus tour and visited some landmark places. It was always a good feeling to return to... More

This is an older hotel with narrow stairs and small rooms, but the location is wonderful, my single room with bath was clean (if a little overheated...I had to open the window all night) and the staff were tremendously helpful! I think that considering the price it is a great place to stay as long as you realize that if... More

I stayed in a single room on the 3rd floor with a shared toilet (shower was in room). It was hot and I was drinking water like there was no tomorrow and the frequent trips to the bathroom never had me running into anyone else or waiting in the hallway. And they were always clean. Rooms are small, but there's... More

We stayed in this hotel for 5 days last week and I have so many things to moan about. First of all we had a tiny room, there was no space to open our luggages and the curtains were ripped of. It was on the third floor so we had to drag our luggages up the stairways which are too... More

Excellent location in Kensington, close to subway and not too far from the Heathrow Express train. Small building with very small rooms, but clean and functional. Bathrooms are actually good sized - make sure your room has one. It can be a bit noisy with floors and stairs squeeking. The bed was also subpar. This part of town is a... More

If a clean room and convenient location in London is what you are after, at a reasonable price then this is the place to go. Travelling with a friend, we both had single rooms which were cleaned, if not small. But then, when you are travelling in London, why would you spend all your time in your room? This is... More

Unclean room up many flights of stairs, not particularly friendly at reception. When you need to leave the hotel (as the reception isn't open for long during the day) you drop your key off to a Best Western hotel a couple of buildings down. It's the same when you leave, if you want the hotel to hold your bags, you... More
