    Good location. Comfy bed. Very clean.

    10MariaPosted on: 2-12-2026

    Great location, lovely staff, room was small but very comfortable and clean

    9DennisPosted on: 2-10-2026

    Very comfortbale hotel that everything offers that you need. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great entrance, nice rooms and a more than good bed. Great roomservice as well. The tubestation is literally 100 meters from the hotel and the surrounding is full of nice streets, shops, restaurants and pubs,. A great place to stay!

    Basically nothing

    7ClaraPosted on: 2-9-2026

    Overall a very good stay. One of the best beds I have ever slept in: despite the absence of a pillow menu, the pillow was perfect for my taste. The room was well sized and very clean. The minibar was almost complimentary, which was a very appreciated touch.

    On the downside, service could be improved: no assistance with luggage to the room, no turndown service, and communication with the concierge was ineffective (messages are sent via SMS but cannot be replied to, resulting in a lost request). Overall, I expected more given the star rating and the affiliation with Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

    7SarahPosted on: 1-31-2026

    Location is great and hotel team helpful and friendly

    Hotel room was too small for the two of us and once the suitcase was on the floor it was difficult to walk from the bed to the bathroom - upgrade to get more space would be my recommendation

    10HannPosted on: 1-31-2026

    Beautiful hotel with excellent facilities and location. The cherry on top was how friendly and welcoming the staff were. I would stay here again!

    9SerenaPosted on: 1-27-2026

    The hotel is in an excellent location. The hotel staff are very attentive.The bed is very comfortable.

    The room was at the back of the hotel with very little view and consequently quite dark.

    9ChrisPosted on: 1-26-2026

    Excellent location; lovely breakfast; very comfortable room; good air conditioning; very comfortable bed; friendly and attentive staff.

    Would have preferred a walk in shower rather than having to climb into the bath.Some noise from the floor of the room above

    10JIYEONPosted on: 1-26-2026

    The service was truly exceptional! Every staff member was friendly, attentive, and always greeted me with a smile. Whenever I had a question or request, they responded immediately and handled everything with great care.

    9ROBINPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Lovely boutique hotel in a lovely area of London

    The room was small, but to be expected in London, I think.

    9DeborahPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Breakfast was delicious every day. Staff quick and pleasant.

    No instructions on how to use the lighting or shower. Never could understand makeup room lighting. Could not achieve it.

    9CarlosPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Ideal Location, Friendly Helpful Staff, Nice Room & Amenities, Great Food & Service in Downstairs Restaurant

    Unable to check in early

    9DianaPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Or is beautiful and well maintained for an older building. The rooms were comfortable for two people and the stock the room with coffee, snacks and drinks each day. They clean the rooms daily and have nightly turn downs. It is also a stones throw away from everything. There are many restaurants and the tube is steps away. Also, flowers were everywhere!

    There is not much wrong with this hotel except for the creaky floors above. But I do know that it is an older building. It is stunning.

    10AmyPosted on: 1-17-2026

    The standout feature of this property is the fantastic location. South Ken station is just a short walk away, connecting you with anywhere you need to go. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and quiet.

    There was nothing we didn’t like.

    10ElainePosted on: 1-14-2026

    This was our second stay and again it didn’t disappoint. Love the boutique feel and cozy cellar restaurant. Enjoyed dinner at very reasonable price. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

    We requested a quiet bedroom with walk-in shower which we were given. The room felt smaller than our previous one though as lower ceiling.

    9DaniPosted on: 1-13-2026

    We arrived much earlier than expected, way before check-in time, and wanted to just leave our luggage at reception. However, the staff enabled us to check in, which meant we could head out and explore London much earlier than we expected to.
