"This was one of my most favourite hotels in London. The staff were so nice, polite and patient. I arrive very late, 2am and staff wrre available and checked me in quickly. I always travel solo so most of the single rooms I book tend to be very small and cramped. This eingle room however was very spacious and the toliet bathroom had all the toiletries I needed. It's very close to South Kensington station and V&A."

10/10 Excellent
"Daughter lives in Chelsea and this was a short walk to her flat. The early part of my stay I had a room with a kitchen. As there were excellent restaurants close by, I did not use the kitchen except for the fridge. Air conditioning was a godsend as it the temps were high. This is one of the reasons I did not stay with my daughter. On a student budget, she does not have AC in her flat. I stayed in smaller room later in my stay, and the room without the kitchen is much smaller with limited storage. I wouldn't recommend for a couple unless you are there with weekend bags. AC still was welcomed. For those who prefer to have someone on staff at the property, this is not the place. The app works perfectly for the front and room doors. I left my luggage in a locker the morning of my check-out as my train did not leave until the afternoon. I later realized that my code for the front door no longer worked. Thankfully, there was a housekeeper passing by just as I was trying to figure out how to contact the hotel. I would definitely return. We stayed at the property when it was Sonder, which offered breakfast in the main room. With coffee machine in the room and breakfast restaurants close by, I didn't find it to be something I missed."

"The hotel rooms are outdated, but there are many great things about this hotel. The location is excellent and the breakfast is honestly top notch. The front desk staff and restaurant staff were great and very accommodating . We were travelling with a toddler and a baby and they set up our room very comfortably for them. Beds were comfortable and bedding was good quality. In terms of things to improve, I would suggest to update the towels and have housekeeping do a more detailed job, but for the price I would certainly recommend staying here, we had a great time."

"It was attractively modern and clean and in a great location. The front desk help was great. The air conditioning was very good too. However, the room should have had a least one chair and a small or a fold-down table, a phone to call the front desk, instructions for the safe, and an additional outlet."
