I have stayed here a few times before, the rooms may be a little dated, the queue for reception and the lifts a little long. But, the cleanliness - and the room/maid service is excellent - an asset to the hotel. And staff lovely and friendly. Location is just what I needed with a tube station close by (High street Kensington).

Great location in Kensington and reasonably priced for London.
Although our 10th floor room was a bit old fashioned, it was clean & comfortable and had a great view out.

Really lovely staff and a big room which my daughter loved - the restaurants were exciting in a little village kind of set up and the breakfast was tasty. It would have been good to have some more cereal options perhaps?

All the staff were very helpful and polite.
Food is very good and location is minutes away from train station What’s not to like
Rooms could do with a revamp but overall a very pleasant stay. Would stay again when in London.
