Advantages: Location Disadvantages: 2 star hotel and it deserves them
...the corridor cupboard doors have a leatherette cladding, the ones on our corridor were very obviously peeling away from the doors and looked tatty.
Our room door stuck and had to be slammed shut.
The bathroom extractor fan did not work hence the peeling paint on the bathroom ceiling.
Glazing was poor with lots of street noise able to come into the room.
Lumpy pillows.
Good bits.
The breakfast was wholesome and fresh, the pork and leek sausages were lovely.

15 minutes walk from Harrods and Harvey Nichols, Knightsbridge.
2 minutes walk from Kensington High Street and Tube Station....

The guides live their subject. The history comes alive and it is just amazing to see how kings and queens have enjoyed their breaks there, a short barge trip up the Thames, from London.
Nowadays, the trip is easy because you get a special Hampton Court Palace train from London - Waterloo which takes 32 minutes, from the station its a short walk to the palace. Green Line Coach has regular services or get the 111, 411, R68, 501, 440, 513, 726, 267 buses or if driving it is on the A308. If taking a river launch, join it at Westminster, Richmond or Kingston. You can take the Underground by using the District...

Not a three star hotel! This is not even a one star hotel. The room was tiny. The television only worked on one snowy chanel. The bathroom smelled of mold and the shower curtain was slimy. There was no plug for the drain so it was impossible to take a... more
When Lee Mead won BBC's 'Any Dream Will Do' my mum was ecstatic. She had probably spent half her wages voting for him, so tickets to see him play Joseph were an obvious choice for her birthday in November last year. Thinking it was a brilliant idea,... more
This hotel captures true Englishness. Whether it be afternoon tea - complimented with the fantastic selection of cakes and cream teas, or the formality of a 5 course evening meal - this hotel offers it all.
