Disadvantages: None

...to be near High Street Kensington station and a range of shops! The check in was relatively simple with extremely friendly staff and a concierge service (to check your bags in early) which was great! We had a room a little larger than the standard, but even seeing a friend's standard room looked to be an average size especially for the rates and location! Our room in fact was great, it had a little seating area also with a table for breakfast where ...

Advantages: A big hotel boasting spa facilities
Disadvantages: small rooms, not a great breakfast

I stayed at this hotel when i was on a school trip. The hotel is situated close to a street of shops, yet surrounded by buildings, leaving not much view. The rooms were ample sized, yet not very big.

It was unclean and not very good selection. The hotel was big allowing ...

The location of the hotel is nice, just a 2 minute walk from High Street Ken and the gardens, although the initial impression of the hotel isnt great as it looks very 80s american!

...is massive the staff are very well orgnaised and despite queues to check in we were quickly dealt with. Our room was tiny!!!!very clean, etc, but really, really small! im pretty sure the bed wasnt a full size double, and one side was up against the window so we both had to slide in the same side! I know london is famed for small hotel rooms and in fairness we didnt spend a lot of time in the room. the bathroom was clean and nicely furnished with ... Read review
