We booked rooms for a number of nights on a business trip. The hotel was running a promotion, so the room was an excellent deal. The hotel is centrally located and right on the Park. The king room was very large and modern with a spacious bathroom. I stayed on the third floor and did not notice any noise whatsoever,... More

Quite an experience, but disappointed with the room which overlooked Kensington High Street and although on the 6th floor found the traffic noises and police sirens in the early hours caused a couple of restless nights. Good value for money at half the normal nightly rate, and was surprised that a hotel of this quality did not provide (half milk)... More

Beautiful located in a posh neighbourhood for a posh price. Was there for a conference. Great beds and a perfect shower. Be careful with eating from the minibar. 6,95 pounds for 20 cashew nuts? And the egs during breakfast were not included in the room rate either which I found odd

I visited this hotel as part of a weekend break in London in April. It's not situated as centrally as I'd normally choose but I was tempted by a special offer that represented great value for money and overall, I did have an enjoyable stay. Check in was friendly and quick with the staff member paying particular attention to our... More

All of the staff were top notch. The location is wonderful and we loved walking into Notting Hill. If in London, don't hesitate to stay here. Our only... More

This hotel was highly recommended on Expedia, and although it was extremely expensive (about $350 CDN per night!!!), we decided the "stay the third night free" would be worth it. The rooms were quite small, with skinny twin beds. Our view, as Expedia customers, was of the building across the street. The other three views were of Kensington Gardens, Kensington... More

Booked hotel for one night midweek for graduation. Was easy to find on Kensington High Street, with car park situated below hotel. Spiralling ramp access to car park was tricky but location was convenient...£22 for 24hours parking was a good price. On arrival we were upgraded...the room was amazing. Very clean, spacious and fresh, amazing view over Kensington Palace Gardens,... More
