Good location. Comfy bed. Very clean.
Great location, lovely staff, room was small but very comfortable and clean
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
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.
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
Beautiful hotel with excellent facilities and location. The cherry on top was how friendly and welcoming the staff were. I would stay here again!
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.
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
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.
Lovely boutique hotel in a lovely area of London
The room was small, but to be expected in London, I think.
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.
Ideal Location, Friendly Helpful Staff, Nice Room & Amenities, Great Food & Service in Downstairs Restaurant
Unable to check in early
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.
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.
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.
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.
