I had a great stay at the hotel! The rooms are quirky and spacious with a big bathroom, a super comfy bed, and a private balcony. The only downside was that it was a little cramped and the wardrobe was tricky to get into. Despite the room being quite hot even with the air conditioning set to the coldest setting, it was still a smart and glitzy space with a spotless, well-equipped bathroom.

The hotel is located in a vivid area of Kensington, offering walking distance to Knightsbridge and a convenient commute to South Kensington Station. The rooms, while smaller than advertised, are gorgeously fun. Staff was friendly and kind, though there was a noise issue with some water pipe causing sleep disturbance. The dining experience was on the expensive side but delicious. Overall, the hotel provides reasonable value for money with its positioning and service.

I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. The rooms were small but quiet, except for being disturbed by the cleaning staff in the mornings. The photos online didn't match the actual room size, but the penthouse suite with a roof terrace was a highlight. Service was friendly but not exceptional, and the location was convenient for my plans in London. However, the dining was disappointing, and the cleanliness of some amenities was lacking.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooftop patio with an outdoor TV was a great feature, although being next to the lift shaft that kept clunking through the night wasn't ideal, affecting my sleep. The rooms, while not massive, were still comfy, and considering the central London location, it was more than satisfactory.

The hotel is in a prime location, with excellent proximity to the Gloucester Road tube station and nearby museums. The rooms, although on the smaller side for the price, are clean and in line with Kensington standards. The service was very helpful and friendly, but some minor maintenance issues detracted a bit from the overall value. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a mixed variety of items served. Overall, the location shines the most for this hotel, offering easy access to key attractions and dining options.

The hotel is situated in a prime location near the Natural History Museum, surrounded by eateries and outdoor cafes in the heart of South Kensington. The rooms are elegantly designed but lack premium channels on the TV. The service was exceptional, including thoughtful gestures like balloons, rose petals, and chocolates. However, there were noticeable spider webs in some areas. The dining experience, while limited due to current restrictions, offered only continental breakfast despite the high room rate.
