Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is the best feature, being very near the tube and District line tube, close to Olympia for the London Horse Show, and adjacent to a fantastic café/diner. The rooms, although on the small side, had just the bare essentials but felt a bit cramped. The service was friendly and helpful, close to Notting Hill for the carnival, but unfortunately, I felt itchy and couldn't get good sleep. The dining experience was included with good breakfast options available nearby. The early morning noise from departing guests was a downside, but the overall location was decent and convenient.
The hotel rooms are cozy with all the essentials, but they could benefit from better ventilation. The service is friendly and accommodating, with prompt attention to any issues. The location is convenient, near local amenities, but the building's age might pose some challenges during extreme weather conditions. Dining options are varied in the vicinity. Overall, a decent value for the price paid.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the positive side, the location was very convenient, close to a local Sainsbury's and within walking distance of the underground station. The room, however, was incredibly small for three people, making it a bit cramped and uncomfortable at times.
My stay at the hotel was mixed. The rooms were compact but suitable for a short stay, though cleanliness left something to be desired. The service was friendly and helpful, although some maintenance issues were noticeable in the location. Dining options were limited, and the facilities were decent but not exceptional.
The hotel's rooms, though small, were clean and nice, yet a bit cramped for all male occupants. The ground floor location posed a safety concern due to the lack of security on the windows. The service was friendly and helpful, although faced with challenges like fixing power issues. The location was convenient, close to public transportation and supermarkets, with easy access to the Olympia and West Kensington Tube Station. The dining options were subpar, with additional bread complimentary. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel offers spotlessly clean rooms at great value for money, but the tight space and strong smell were drawbacks. Sleep was challenging due to the heat and lack of adequate cooling options. Service was good overall but had difficulties fixing issues promptly. Location was decent with proximity to public transportation and supermarkets, yet some aspects were lacking for a claimed three-star hotel. Dining included a meager selection of snack options.
The hotel is ideally located near West Kensington Tube Station, making it convenient for travel and close to local amenities. The rooms, although small, are nicely kept and clean. The service was friendly and efficient at handling requests, creating a pleasant stay. However, the lack of dining options on-site was a downside, but overall, the hotel provides good value for money.
The hotel is conveniently located near Olympia, making it perfect for conference attendees. The rooms, though small and lacking certain amenities, are still comfortable. The service from the staff was mainly polite and friendly, with a few exceptions. While the hotel lacks an onsite dining option, there are alternatives nearby. The facilities are adequate for a short stay.
The hotel's location is excellent, near public transport and amenities, but noise can be an issue in the early morning. The rooms, while appearing larger in photos, felt tiny for our family size and lacked adequate ventilation. The staff were welcoming and helpful, enhancing our exhibition visit. Dining options were limited on-site, with no Italian food available. However, the convenient location near tube stations is a significant positive point.
My stay at the hotel was a mixture of positives and negatives. The cramped and uncomfortably hot room made it a bit challenging, but it was a decent place to end a tiring day. The service was excellent, especially when I was moved to a more spacious and pleasant room by the friendly staff. The location was a bit off-grid for public transportation, but its proximity to Olympia and good tube station connections made it convenient. The shower issue was a downside, but the historical building added character despite the rainy weather. Dining options nearby were convenient, but on-site choices were limited. Overall, a satisfactory experience with some drawbacks to consider in terms of value for money.
