We stayed here for a week and would come back again. Location is convenient . Staff was cordial and accommodating. Only thing that lacked was no wash cloths or hand soap. We were told that was an “American thing”.
Don’t like the way they now nickle and dime you for breakfast which was included during two previous stays. Big up charge. Cramped room with no outlets near bed. This toilet was hard to flush and was told it’s an old hotel.
Will not stay there again
Best part was location
Good size room, but very tired furnishings. Shower valves didn’t work well, so got scalding water or cold intermittently. On the morning of our departure the entire building was out of hot water. Check- in was very slow due to what seemed to be a software issue even though there was no one else checking in. Location is very good. AC works well. Large room made up for other shortcomings.

The staff was cordial and we could check in earlier. The room was small and no refrigerator. We complained about the water being too hot in the shower but it was not resolved for the 3 days we stayed. Property was close to Hyde park and Kensington palace. Rail and tube stations were 10 minutes walk.
The staff were very nice. The property is dreadfully dated and really awkwardly situated, the facade looks nice. The rooms felt more like a prison... the first room given to me was on the 1st floor, which actually felt like a basement room (see photo of the view) and it was next to a major construction site...the staff kindly gave me another room and were surprised the first room photo (should they not know?). The bathroom was awkward and worn/ dated, bed was ok and clean as was most everything. Proximity to Hyde Park was good. Recommend other options.
