We were very conveniently placed for our visit to the Royal Albert Hall. It was a bit of a walk from S Kensington Tube Station,as we are in our 80's It was a very good price for central London accommodation.

The staff was very helpful and accommodating! We had an issue with the toilet flush, and it was addressed properly. The meal ticket was also adjusted to include both my cousin and me. That was very much appreciated! Everyone was very kind and the room was very comfortable! Excellent location! Thank you!
Great breakfast!! 😋🤤

I enjoyed the peaceful, green surroundings. The staff is friendly and welcoming. One thing I found disappointing was that the double bed was only 120 centimeters wide. Much too narrow for two people.

Great location and very good value. Check in was a bit of nightmare - very disorganised and long queues - but the staff were lovely. The room was basic, but clean and had everything we needed. It was very hot in the room and the fan provided was noisy, but London was basking in a heatwave so to be expected.

It’s a repurposed college dorm. It has its own private bathroom which is great but the wear and tear is visible and other students do live on campus as well.

We stayed at Prince’s Gardens during our trip to London for the BST Hyde Park Festival on July 2025, and it was a fantastic experience. The location was perfect—right in South Kensington and just a short walk to Hyde Park, museums, and the Tube. The room was clean, simple, and perfect for a summer stay. What really stood out was the staff—especially Talha at the front desk, who was incredibly helpful and friendly. He made check-in smooth and gave us great tips on navigating the area. Highly recommend for anyone visiting London in the summer. Great value, safe area, and an unbeatable location.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location was fantastic for seeing a concert in the Royal Albert Hall. The staff are very friendly and having a shop on the campus was very helpful. The room is basic but perfectly suitable as somewhere safe and comfortable to sleep and get ready. It is student accommodation majority of the year so it will have scuffs and scratches and won’t be spotlessly clean. But if you need somewhere comfortable to sleep and get ready before heading out, then I’d very much recommend it.
