Well appointed, beautifully decorated rooms. Good range of toiletries. Nibbles and drinks - can soft drinks and pure apple juice -free and replenished daily. Minibar, Nespresso machine. Heated bathroom floor. Easy room temp control. Quiet, carpeted sound proof rooms…until..see below. Very close to South Kensington station. Short walk to National Heritage Museum and sightseeing buses. Local bus No 14 less than 30m from hotel passes Harrods, Oxford Circus to city centre. Great way to see London for around £2.
The lighting for the bathroom and full length mirror was appalling. Not possible to apply makeup in bathroom. Had to take a small mirror to the main room even then unable face the window. A strong possibility that I left the room looking like a gargoyle as I couldn’t see how my facial. artwork turned out. The lighting is non existent when opening the safe. One has to feel with hands to check if anything has been left behind. Older people will have to negotiate climbing in and out of bathtub when using the shower. Hang on to the towel rack when getting out. Other guests allow the door to slam shut and that is loud and disruptive at night.

I always stay here every time I come to London the fact that I keep returning speaks volumes. It’s intimate and classy its well located yet quiet, its thorough yet minimal, everything in one place.
Weirdly this was the only time my room had a very musty smell with a couple of ants crawling on the walls and curtains.

Decor of hotel was beautiful and our room very clean and spacious . But the noise from the children at the French lycee disturbed us between 8am and 11am !!!!
The breakfast was not included in our room rate , so we did not experience it . However it was disappointing to see that the lovely room with brightly coloured chairs was so obviously set up for afternoon teas … and it did not have a bar facility or lounge area for guests to feel they could use at any time . The Apero bar was ok - but seating a bit crammed and not as comfortable .

Great location in South Kensington. Friendly, professional staff. Comfortable bed.
The usual price vs room size issue in luxury London hotels. I selected a Deluxe Room which was bigger than a standard or superior room, but still small with a view into neighboring flats and an uncomfortable table and chair to work at. All in all a bit disappointing. I would hate to see how small standard or superior rooms are.

I love the cleanliness of the place and its location.
“I have been a regular guest at the hotel since 2021, but I’ve noticed some changes recently, such as the type of shampoo and lotion being used. In previous years, you could really feel like you were in a 5-star hotel because the products were luxurious and expensive, like the ones from the French brand L’Occitane. However, now there is a shampoo and conditioner dispenser attached to the wall, and I really didn’t like that at all. Also, the staff’s attitude and service used to be much better compared to now.”
