Upon arrival, my experience at the hotel took an unexpected turn. Despite paying extra for what was promised to be an upgrade, I found myself in a room without a window and a dated interior that felt like a step back in time. On the bright side, the location was convenient and close to nearby attractions and transportation options.

The hotel seemed promising with its great location close to the underground and friendly staff, but my stay revealed some shortcomings. The rooms were more like cells, with a tiny and uncomfortable bed, cold breakfast, and a perfunctory atmosphere. The service was lacking, with a long delay in booking in and a sense of irresponsibility when my bag went missing.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with spacious and comfortable rooms, although the breakfast was not as varied as I would have liked. The service was overall good, but one encounter during check-out could have been better. The central location near Hyde Park and shopping options was a major plus, but the small reception area was a drawback.

The hotel's location is convenient, being close to the subway station and a short walk to two Underground stations. It's also near food shops for breakfast and the South Kensington museums. However, the rooms didn't match the advertised pictures and smelled of paint. The service was responsive to my request for a room change but other guests seemed unhappy. The dining options were limited, and breakfast timing was late. Overall, the hotel provides a good value for money stay.

The hotel has a great location, very close to everything in London. The rooms are decent, but could use more storage for clothes and the bathroom is quite small. The service is pleasant, but at times, there was a lack of staff presence. The dining offers a variety of options but could improve in terms of value for money. The location is excellent with easy access to the underground stops. Facilities are decent, but parking might be a challenge.

The hotel is conveniently close to Gloucester Road tube station and surrounded by an array of pubs and restaurants.

The rooms were cramped and dirty, but the hotel's proximity to key attractions was a definite plus. The dining options were good for a day of walking around, though a tad expensive. The surroundings were pleasant and the bed comfortable, but the service was lacking in skills and professionalism.

I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. The rooms were a bit challenging to reach, and it was scary when the fire alarm went off and we couldn't find our way out of the smoke-filled corridors. We had to upgrade our room by paying an extra 150 pounds to escape the tiny and suffocating space we initially had.
