Room 106 is beautiful. Large and airy and on the ground floor. We were initially in 206 but there was a problem with the TV so we were moved on day 2. Room 206 is quite small and stuffy. Breakfast is fabulous. Continental and included in the price. Staff were friendly and helpful. Five minutes walk from High St Kensington tube, ten minutes walk to the Royal Albert Hall. Shopping and restaurants plentiful. All in all, a very good stay.

Very small room, which wasn't that clean (eg someones used towel had been left in our bathroom). Good location and okay breakfast. Poor value for the money we paid.

Comfy and cozy
While the room was bijou, it was comfortable. The breakfast spread was ample and delicious. The only drawback was the lack of adequate lighting. ‘Quiet hours’ from 10 pm to 8 am are conducive to relaxing in peace.
