Very flexible staff
Maria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Weekend in Kensington

We really enjoyed the hotel. I agree with some reviewers comments about worn carpets and light bulbs out in the hotel. However, our room was large and comfortable, the location near the Gloucester St tube station was great, and the neighborhood was quiet. The hotel was clean and had the amenities we needed.
Thomas, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Faded glory but I’d go back to stay again

A little ragged around the edges but good value and a great location. Images are accurate but perhaps taken in the 80’s!
David, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Property needs some repairs, TV in room had no power cabl3, no remote, wallpaper was coming off in the bedroom, bathroom tap kept dripping, some draws were broken. Staff where friendly and kind. Furter the hotel is good to stay if you just need to sleep in the room.
Andrew Proud, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Stay away

Wet and dirty carpets, this hotel should not be on hotels.com - pictures looks good, but the condition of the hotel is absolutely rubbish.
Johan, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Fawlty Towers

This hotel is in the hand of reciver administrator and should have never been promoted.. no staff, no facilities, ripped furniture, no kettle, no towels. It was every one's opinion whom was staying there. I shall be claiming my money back
Abolghasemi-Malekabadi, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Very quaint and comfy beds only down side no glasses or cups in room
Beverley, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Photos and amenities advertised are false. Do not book here. 20 people told us when walking in that the place was not as advertised. Dirty establishment.
Cyle, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible

The most awful hotel i have ever been. No breakfast, horrible service, dirty
susana, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is the most disgusting hotel I have ever had the misfortune to stay at. THIS SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR SITE - the pictures are nothing like those displayed on the website.
lucy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Never again

This Hotel is old an a lot is damaged. The only good thing was, the bed was clean. We did not get towels and everything was dirty.
Olaf, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location of the hotel. However, the hotel wasn’t what I was expecting. It wasn’t clean with the curtains having stains on. The bedding was okay although only one pillow per person. The rooms curtains were falling off. In addition there was water marks and stains on the paint, also the carpet had rips in etc.
Thomas, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Awful

The hotel was nothing like an “upscale hotel” Dirty, damaged and needs a lot of work done. Looks nothing like the photos advertised. And what’s with the big holes cut out of the windows?! Would never stay there again
James, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Faded glory

Room was a bit tired and dirty. Window did not lock, carpet was dirty, shower head was dirty. Breakfast was extremely basic.
Giles, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not the best

Good location but the rooms are very tired. Ants in the bathroom, ripped curtains and the staff can barely speak English.
Ben, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

No hairdryer or coffee & kettle in the rooms. Breakfast was ok but basic. Need a new toaster. Otherwise good value for money and an excellent location for visiting London. Underground is walking distance away and there are take outs, restaurants and Sainsbury's, Tesco, M&S etc in walking distance. No smoking is allowed which is an extra bonus. Clean and tidy rooms. Will go again when visiting London.
Sonja, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property is in a great location with large rooms, but the state of it is not good at all and the owners/managers let clients down. Personnel was polite and obliging.
Gabriele, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

HORRENDOUS DO NOT STAY HERE UNSAFE DIRTY VILE

Absolutely horrendous hotel. Looks NOTHING like the pictures. Filthy, skanky, drunk men everywhere, doors dont lock, carpets threadbare, sheets disgusting, bins not emptied, stained shredded curtains hanging from the windows. staff said "take it up with Expedia"
Lauren, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Over priced nothing like the photos its being mis sold crap creepy rooms,its a £50 deposit and they take all your details and write them down. If you pay cash you get the money back when you leave. Stayed for 2 nights then moved to the Brompton .
Andrew, 2-night trip
