Don't believe photos
The photos totally misrepresent the actual standard room. Definitely don't rent a standard room. Deluxe room has upgraded bathroom which is nice, but the floor is a very old rug badly stained. If flooring is the hotel was upgraded in would be a reasonable budget hotel. As it is now the room is uncomfortable every time you step on the floor

The bathroom flooded into the room whenever I showered. The toilets did not flush all the time. I could hear the people around me from my room coughing. Other than that it was okay, good location in a nice area.

Best value in London
Great value for such a great location. Shower stall a bit on the small side but perfect in every other way. Very quiet by London standards and thicker walls than most newer hotels. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough for a highly cost effective convenient location to stay. Will be back.

You get what you pay for🙄
From the outside the hotel looks good as well as the foyer. I had a single room which was adequate however the bathroom looked tired. The whole place looked like it needed a bit of a makeover. However my trip to London was for training purposes so the hotel was somewhere for me to sleep. So that being the case it was adequate.

Staff very helpful, the room was cozy but traffic quite noisy to a country person not used to traffic. Have stayed at busier location but quality of glazing made the previous stays much quieter. Would use again though.

Not that I would recommend this hotel
The hotel rooms were dirty and not to standard. The beds way too soft, woke up with back ache. The cleanliness leaves to be desired. Some of the staff were rude and grunted when I said good morning. We did not get coffee / tea supplies - had to ask, same with toilet roll. Could not supply additional pillows as the ones we had were paper thin. Even though said would have a bath in my room, only had a shower. The toilet looked disgusting !!! The rooms are that small you couldn't swing a cat in it and the TV was at a weird angle!!! Not a place I would recommend.

The hotel loaction was excellent - 7min walk to the closest station, 15min walk to South Kensington and its museums, and roughly 20-30min by tube to amy main attractions in London. The hotel was just off the main street which means the noise was moderated however they were doing works during our stay and builders were on from 7am. Because of the works, the comfort was inconsistent from one room to another - our deco/comfort, especially in the bathroom were really outdated; trace of mould here and there, the water pressure and temperature were only mild and heaters not properly working in January(!) while the friends we were travelling with had brand new bedroom/bathroom. That said, everything was clean. The room had no plugs near the bed whoch makes it tricky for phone and alarms. And isolation was poor - you could hear people above, aside and underneath. The breakfast had a full range of ingredients however they close it 20min proor the time indicated without apology and the people in charge forbid us, rather virulently, to group a couple of tables together, in a corner of the room, to eat with our friends. We offered to place them back where there were but they said no categorically for no apparent reason and with bad manners so we finally had to ask permission to reception.

Wrong keycard/room number given, causing us to barge in on other guests. Shower curtain not fit for use, flooded the bathroom. Constant knocking and loud talking throughout the night. Lift was broken. Towels were dirty. Bad experience.

Stayed for 2 nights to attend interviews
Pictures were clearly taken when it was new and that feels like it was a long time ago. Owners would definitely benefit from a refurb. Room felt A little claustrophobic (granted it was a cheaper double) but the bathroom just felt tired and I wasn’t entirely convinced by it’s cleanliness. Sink gave off an eggy smell if I washed my hands (when I brushed my teeth it was fine, very weird). Bed was quite hard and the pillows might as well have not been there,not much support. Considering it was a 3 star in South Kensington,I was expecting better.

The hotel breakfast was good and the staff were friendly. However the rest requires a lot of help! I requested a superior double room. I got a box, almost like a store cupboard overlooking plumbing and rooftops. I asked them to switch which they did. The second option was a few doors away from the first and a least looked o to the road. But it was still cramped and the basin was covered in limescale. There isn't even a wardrobe, just a couple of hangers on the wall just above the tea tray! Only stayed two nights but won't be going back.
