Our stay from booking to departure was really great. Our flight came very early in the morming and we forgot to request early checkin. They were incredibly accommodating- gave us our room early. Rooms were clean, bathroom shower the best!! My son was so happy that it felt like home! They had gluten free toast - very happy with breakfast. One of the Front staff- Raheil was always fast to fix any minor issues - remote broken. Helpful with any questions or requests. We were a party of 8 - 2 children.

Hotel is in a great location, has friendly staff, is clean. The only issue was that the AC & fan system in the room was practically non-existent. They did provide us with a portable fan which helped.

It was a nice stay at a Great location. The only complaint I have is the AC was not working in the room. They did at least bring us fans which was nice to have. I kept the window open at night and it worked to cool the room.

Very close to Kensington Palace, west end of Hyde Park. Park is beautiful, restaurants in the area. Felt very safe walking around. A bit of a distance from the main tourist areas, but easy to get there via city bus, tube, taxi.

Found the bed too hard, otherwise the room/location was good, we overlooked the park. Little waitrose outside which is handy, although the Shell station is a bit ugly. Didn't know about the car park in the hotel - might drive there if I went back. Not too far from tube - but feels a long way if carrying luggage.
