    TERRIBLE

    Hotel is lovely although we stayed on basement and there were renovations going on. The water does not seem clean to drink. Apart from that, the wifi works well and the room is lovely. It is cosy for two and the room service is prompt....More

    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.
