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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
