A really travel convenient hotel. It’s a bare minimum spa hotel, priced as such. Most rooms have a kitchenette so go shopping before you arrive as the food is a bit hit and miss. The spa is great and the massage I had was lovely. Some more traditional hot stones would have been good. Ask for bath robes at reception or you won’t get them. No landline phones in rooms which is annoying. Because of room design you can’t watch TV in bed because of the metal screens. If you are into SnM this screen is for you! The staff are mainly lovely and helpful but the main guy in the breakfast room made me feel like Billy no mates shouting a table JUST for one across the dining room and then repeating this another few times. I get to the table set for two and he makes a big deal about removing one set of cutlery. I actually felt the need to ask him to stop pointing out that I’m on my own. More training here I think! I would stay again but the lack of ready available food and room service puts me off a little. Even the private cafe by the pool had no food when I went in.
Screen so you can’t watch TV in bed

Firstly, the hotel is in a great location in South Kensington close to both the tube and the bus. The hotel itself is beautiful and clean. I loved the eclectic vibe and decor. The staff was very nice and friendly and helped with all of our needs. We stayed in the 2 bedroom vault which is on the lower floor. The living area, kitchenette and bathroom are beautiful. The bedrooms, although they were described to us, were not really convenient. Yes, they are built into the turrets of the hotel, which we knew, however we did not know that you had to climb in and out of the bed to get out of the room as it is so tight. Also it was not brought to our attention the you have to duck to get into the one bedroom as the ceiling height was maybe 5 ft 3 inches tall. One of the travelers with me was older and due to the climbing into and out of the bed fell and severely bruised her eye and shoulder. We did let staff know but honestly had I know the ceilings were that low and that you had to climb over the bed to get in and out I would have booked differently. The accident did ruin some of our vacation. I would stay at this hotel again but would NOT stay in those rooms. If you’re a male or taller female it is extremely dangerous and inconvenient.

Amazing hotel. Rooms were very spacious. With all you would ever need. (Courtyard) On the same level as the residence spa/pool. Nice to have sauna and steam room available. Pool was a little cold. The bar was cool. Great location. Tube station just minutes away and plenty restaurants and bars nearby.

The other house is quite unique, I would say if they are to continue operating as a hotel there needs to be certain aspects that contribute to it being a hotel such as slippers, dressing gowns in rooms, complimentary biscuits, directions to the spa with arrows to show where it is. Also some of the receptionist staff could be more friendly. Overall it was a nice stay but there are some improvements to be made. Also the lighting could be better in the rooms.

The property is nice and exactly as in the photos. What I did not like about my room was that it was on the ground floor with the windows looking out to internal sit outs of the hotel - so no natural light. The housekeeping left a lot to be desired. We stayed there for about 3 weeks. They do housekeeping once a week only and do not even change towels. One had to keep requesting them to do at least give fresh towels. And even when housekeeping was done they would forget to replenish the tea, sugar etc. The most disappointing part was when I gave this feedback to the front office staff, I was told that because I was a long staying guest I needed to remind them to replenish supplies! One would have expected service to be better for a long staying guest and not the other way round !!
