    Great location

    Perfection location to for travelling on the Piccadilly line- takes you everywhere you need to go! Had some lovely, slightly overpriced, breakfasts in the restaurant down stairs. Staff were friendly and acomodating. Room was present. Enjoyed there was a gym available.

    South Kensington
    With its ivied mews, row upon row of Poppins-esque
    white washed mansions, and placid garden squares, it's
    easy to see the charms of South Kensington. And with
    superb access to Hyde Park, Holland Park and
    Kensington Gardens, as well as the largely
    child-friendly and mostly free Museum Quarter (not to
    mention more major attractions like Royal Albert Hall)
    such charms are easy to make the most of. As welcoming

    Sorry Tina, cannot answer your question. We stayed in a king sized room & there wasn’t any space for extra beds. Suggest you contact the hotel direct.

    No balconies. Yes, a keycard is required to operate the elevator. Awful hotel, probably the worst I have ever stayed in in London. Steer Clear.

    No parking available. There's Off street parking but I'm sure it'll cost an arm and a leg in Kensington
