Great Hotel in the Sth Kensington museums quarter

Very impressed with this hotel for its location, cleanliness, quality & value. Reception & rooms look like they have recently received modernisation. Great for families visiting the Natural History & Science Museums which are just a short walk away. Also very close to Sth Kensington tube station.

8/10 Very good

Stayed for a night as was in town for a show at Royal Albert Hall. This was perfect for the night. It is a small hotel, and the room (especially shower) was small, but I didn't need anything more. The lobby is spacious and clean, the staff friendly and helpful.
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I enjoyed my stay very much. The staff was very generous they allowed me to keep my suitcase there after I checked out for free while I traveled around the city before my flight later that night. Great value for the money!

Amazing hotel!

This was a great hotel to stay at! The location is really close to multiple underground and bus stations. The staff were very accommodating and super friendly. The room was cleaned up everyday, which was greatly appreciated and the double room was perfect for two people. Definitely would stay here again if I go to London again!

6/10 Good

Cheaply modernised and tacky decor.

Cheaply modernised and tacky decor which I'm sure would resonate as posh for some. Some furnishings were already degraded.
Eliza, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice, friendly staff. Room was clean and all that we required. Good price for London and well situated for museums and the Albert Hall and Tube connections.
