Metro- type hotel, with old type furniture in reception areas, modern rooms in old buildings. Lift, accessible if required, smallish room and bathroom but functional. LED lighting and good climate control. Hot shower, small step, good lighting in bathroom. An exhaust fan would be good, but may not be possible. Large open space at foot of bed/s which could be great for luggage if a bench shelf went from side to side. Could double as seating too. Otherwise it's luggage on the floor which is a pain. Can't comment on breakfast. Very little hot water in the basin taps. This has been reported. It is on a busy road but we didn't hear much traffic at night, and did not hear neighboring rooms either. No fridge or tea making in rooms which for us was a nuisance, however hot water is available via staff and is free. Be sure to ask for x2 cups each cos the water is scalding hot. I feel it is far less safe walking back to rooms with a hot cup of water than a small electric jug in rooms. But space is limited. There are little cubby holes to put things in your room, and some hanging spaces on walls. Plenty of power points which was great.

The Point A was a great basic hotel (but it had everything we needed) in a perfect location (Kensington). The lobby cafe was convienient (with a fresh, yummy menu), bright and welcoming. The rooms were small but very clean, technology friendly and quiet. Staff were always available and very helpful. The hotel is in walking distance of a big grocery store and the metro station. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you don’t need a full service hotel. Fabulous experience and great value!

A bit further out than I usually stay and rather a small room for two twin beds but buffet breakfast in the lobby was nice . About a ten minute walk to a station to head in to the city. But a pretty area and rather eclectic.

Like many modern hotels, the room was very small with only one bedside table and no dresser. We had to walk sideways at the foot of the bed to get around it. The location was brilliant. We walked to dinner and Earl's Court Station.The room was very quiet despite facing a major road.

My husband and I stayed for 5 days. We had a double bed in a small room without a window. It was small but I knew it would be when I booked the room. The staff was excellent. They were attentive, pleasant and helpful. The location was perfect because of its proximity to the subway. The breakfast was tasty. I would highly recommend this hotel.

The property itself was nice and in a good location. The room however was so small I couldn’t imagine if I had stayed more than one night. There is literally no place to put anything. My husband and I had to take turns opening our suitcases to get out the essentials. I stored my suitcase in the shower overnight so we didn’t trip over it and put the other against the door and could still barely move. We had to put our clothes on the floor and I had to climb over the bed to get out. The bed was comfortable and the area around the hotel is in a good location and felt safe.
