Nice location. Cute that it was authentic… I like the downstairs living room area too, to relaxing fort moment before bed after a long walk. … The actual rooms are pretty small and tight if you have large suitcases

Delightful and classic - We stayed here during the final couple of episodes of Traitors and to come back after a day out in London Museums with our young family and put on our tartan PJs and be surrounded by old school gentry elegance was perfect, a real addition to the holiday! Clean, friendly and convenient the old school charm is perfect - and to be amongst the truly benighted citizens of Kensington felt very special ;-)

Great location, friendly staff and very clean. Only thing is for anyone with a pram or wheelchair the tight corridors and stairs off the lift can make it difficult to get around. But besides that would stay again and highly recommend

Very nice boutique feeling hotel. Only thing I didn’t like was the step down into the room from the entry / bathroom. I thought there was ac in this hotel but it was fans only. Temperature was nice this time of year with windows open. Overall was a great stay, wonderful location right across from the tube station and very quiet and safe area. Will definitely return!

The hotel is also only a few minutes’ walk from Gloucester Road Underground Station, making it easy to reach attractions such as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Tower of London, and the London Eye.

This hotel is old with a historic past. The breakfast is very good. The bar area is nice. The first night we stayed in the basement in a double room it was tiny with no windows. The other nights we had a 4 bed so more room. The room was very hot & they provided fans. they did say that they were putting in air conditioning. There was building work next door to our room at 8am. I thought this was too early. Great location near gloucester road tube, lot's of pubs, restaurants and shops nearby.

Enchanting place. Room was small by my standards, but comfortable enough and well supplied with everything needed. Breakfast was incredible, though very pricey.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The staff was incredibly cordial and helpful. Although I know I had reserved the smallest room available. There are two suggestions I would make one a small shower caddy in the shower to rethink the toilet configuration with a pedestal sink. You might want to eliminate the pedestal for a standalone. The issue is folks of 70+ years, like myself find it difficult to contort their bodies when using the toilet, but I want to reiterate the property was well-maintained and your employees are extraordinary.

I loved the location and the charm of the hotel. It was clean and comfortable. I would have liked to have had a steamer or iron in my room as well as AC. It was very warm in London during my stay so no AC made for uncomfortable nights.

Room, Bathroom small but to be expected in this kind of accomodation. Lovely cosy bar area however over all could do with some attention in some areas, carpets look tired. Definitly in my opinion this is not a 4 star hotel , 3 at best. Staff were very good.
