The hotel had a nice layout in the rooms, with a balcony, but needed significant improvements with cracked tiles, ripped beds, and dirty walls. The slamming doors were quite annoying. The service was a mix of being friendly and helpful with directions but also careless with belongings. The location was excellent for our extended stay near the Royal Marsden Hospital, offering convenience and a cozy atmosphere in central London. The dining experience was subpar with cheap-tasting coffee and lacking essentials like cold milk. The facilities were basic and could use some enhancements.

The hotel is conveniently located near various fast-food joints, coffee shops, and within walking distance to Gloucester underground for easy access to desired destinations. The room layout efficiently utilized the space, although the lack of daylight in the basement room was a downside. Staff were accommodating, although there were occasional issues with responsiveness and clarity. The dining experience, while sufficient for breakfast, could use more variety to prevent monotony. The facilities lacked character but served their purpose adequately.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, although simple, was cold due to the single-pane windows and noise from the door disturbed my sleep initially. The service was alright, with the standout being the helpful female night staff. The location was convenient for transportation but in need of some renovations such as better insulation for windows. The dining was basic but satisfying, offering a variety of items. The facilities were decent considering the price.

The hotel boasts spacious rooms, great for three adults, with high ceilings, but drawbacks include a very tiny shower and a damp odor issue. The service is top-notch, with highly helpful and courteous staff, especially accommodating late check-outs. The location is perfect, just a 5-minute walk from Gloucester Road in a safe area with good links to the West End. The dining offers continental style with ample choices, perfect for starting the day. The facilities are well-equipped, though there are areas for improvement.

The hotel is situated amidst the stunning houses in Kensington, only a 5-minute walk to the underground, offering an abundance of dining options nearby. The rooms were on the smaller side and could use some updating, but the staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast, while basic, provided tasty selections. The location was superb for exploring the museums and being close to tube stations, although TV channel options were limited.

Although the twin beds were small and the bathroom impractical, they were very tidy and clean, equipped with air conditioning, and had access to a balcony. Our own bathroom was also very clean.

The hotel room was a bit of a mixed bag; it looked tired and in need of redecoration but was really lovely and had a very small mirror. However, I experienced some discomfort with the room being like an oven, receiving a random 6 am phone call, and constant vibration and humming noises along with dirty old carpet.

The hotel's rooms were of a lower standard than expected, with views of AC units and a very snug fit for a standard-sized bed. While the staff, except for the manager, were very helpful and friendly, the service was affected by having only one receptionist. The location was ideal for easy access to public transport and nearby amenities, although lacking areas for relaxation. The dining options were minimal but sufficient, providing a simple start to the day.
