Clean and quiet property, met our needs. Only downside was there was no lift so we had to lug luggage down and up a few flights of stairs.

Lovely hotel for the money. Minutes from the tube station. Very clean and comfortable. If driving, it’s worth pre booking somewhere through a parking app.

We liked the location of the hotel, but the hotel was very misleading online. It states reception is open until 5pm ! Which is untrue, as there is NO reception at this hotel, its actual at it's Sister Hotel. Once we arrived at our extremely compact room we were greeted by the shower cubile right next to the door as you enter the room. I have never seen anything like it before, thankfully the loo was behind a closed door. As we were staying at Kensington Garden Hotel we had hoped for a nice view ! But sadly not! Room 17's view is looking at a flat roof with skylights windows and the side of next doors building. I did contact Expedia regarding the issues, but sadly no action was taken. Upon check out we were told that they had tried to contact us to offer us another room!! But not sure what method they used.... as my phone didn't miss any calls or emails. I feel this action was too little too late. In all honesty I could not recommend staying at this Hotel to anyone.

Nice, clean, well located. The only downside, and this is a big issue, there is no elevator and the whole property is not accessible. Our room was on the fourth floor, the staircase is tiny and if you have any larger luggage it is painful to get up or down. Other than that it is a fantastic location.

It’s an old charming hotel. Housekeeping staff kept the room clean and tidy everyday. Not sure if rooms have A/C, we were there during the winter and room and bathroom heat was old style but does the job, there were 2 small electric fans so we used both for air circulation. There was sewer smell in the hallways and room that comes and goes but got worse one night when we got back from a daytrip, so bad that it gave me a headache! We opened the window and door and reported it to the reception desk, did not get any update from them afterwards.
