Friendly central hotel
The hotel is ideally located in Kensington a short walk to the high street, tube station and museums. Away from the main humdrum of central London but still close enough to enjoy theatres and attractions only a 20 minute bus ride away.
The reception staff were very friendly particularly Angel and John. As we were celebrating a birthday and forthcoming anniversary we were upgraded and provided with a complimentary drink.
There is a small cafe just inside the entrance that served coffee's, fresh bakery items and miscellaneous snacks. Ideal for a quick breakfast.

Everything else was fine, except for the room temperature- it was too hot and the minimum setting on the temperature control was still too high

It was fine
It was fine. Probably a really nice hotel 25 years ago, but doesn’t look like they’ve done anything to it since. Staff were really nice and helpful, bed was comfortable, and the price was good. I wouldn’t have put it as a 4 star hotel.
