Fantastic hotel! Really conveniently located for The Lost Estate and close to plenty of bars/restaurants and public transport. Staff were very friendly and our room, though compact, was very clean and had everything we needed.

Stayed here for a long weekend and was very satisfied. Great hotel with clean rooms.
Shout out to all the staff, always friendly and genuinely helpful !
Lastly, the area around West Kensington is mainly residential, so it’s not overly busy, but you still have the convenience of going to the city without long travelling.

This hotel is within a 10-minute walk from West Kensington Station. Although it's located in Zone 2, the surrounding residential area feels relatively safe and quiet, even late at night. The hotel has been recently renovated, so everything is very clean, and the heating system works exceptionally well.
All of the staff are friendly and helpful.
I'd like to especially thank Sandra and Karam for their thoughtful service.
If I visit London again, I would definitely consider staying here once more.

Checked in with Javed and checked out with Anh. Both of them were very helpful and respectful with their customer service. Nice quiet area with local shops and great restaurants. Very clean and updated hotel/room as well. Will be staying again.

I can not recommend this hotel enough! Wow, it was so clean and very new. The staff was great. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted. Someone helped us with the luggage up to our room. They offer breakfast in the morning at any extra cost which is convenient if you are on the go. So so so clean and amazing. Another cool aspect of this hotel is that it is super secure. You need a hotel key to even operate the elevator. This hotel feels so luxurious, I was shocked at the price for what you are getting. If you want to stay at a great hotel, stay at this one!

The hotel was amazing, the staff went above and beyond to help with anything we needed. The room was fine and the breakfast was great. I'm glad that I didn't take notice of the bad online reviews as we would of missed out.

The hotel was recently renovated so everything is brand new and very clean. The hotel is located on a quiet residential street which provided a quaint and calm atmosphere after exploring the busy city which is nice. Public transportation was accessible as the Tube station was about a 10 minute walk away and the nearest bus stop was less than a 10 minute walk away. You can also walk 10-15 minute for some cafés, restaurants, and markets nearby. The staff were also very friendly and helpful.

The entrance was clumsy, very hard to get in or out especially with luggage. There was no fridge in the room. Room was very small. It was only a couple of feet bigger than the bed. Sandra at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The nearest tube station is west Kensington about 7 minute walk from the hotel. There aren’t any restaurants nearby.

The only flaw we encountered is that the doors are not very noise aisolating, and you can hear all the noises coming from the corridors. Mostly it was annoying in the morning during the cleaning shift.
