SO. AMAZING!

I can not recommend this hotel enough! Wow, it was so clean and very new. The staff was great. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted. Someone helped us with the luggage up to our room. They offer breakfast in the morning at any extra cost which is convenient if you are on the go. So so so clean and amazing. Another cool aspect of this hotel is that it is super secure. You need a hotel key to even operate the elevator. This hotel feels so luxurious, I was shocked at the price for what you are getting. If you want to stay at a great hotel, stay at this one!

Review

This hotel is within a 10-minute walk from West Kensington Station. Although it's located in Zone 2, the surrounding residential area feels relatively safe and quiet, even late at night. The hotel has been recently renovated, so everything is very clean, and the heating system works exceptionally well. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. I'd like to especially thank Sandra and Karam for their thoughtful service. If I visit London again, I would definitely consider staying here once more.

Not the greatest location

The entrance was clumsy, very hard to get in or out especially with luggage. There was no fridge in the room. Room was very small. It was only a couple of feet bigger than the bed. Sandra at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The nearest tube station is west Kensington about 7 minute walk from the hotel. There aren’t any restaurants nearby.

Amazing small hotel, great service

I was greeted by amazing hotel staff Sandra, she was so friendly and was able to show me two options for the rooms which i could choose. Everything was so easy from check in to check out. They also have a lugagge room if you need to collect your luggage later!

Great hotel for short stays.

Stayed here for a long weekend and was very satisfied. Great hotel with clean rooms. Shout out to all the staff, always friendly and genuinely helpful ! Lastly, the area around West Kensington is mainly residential, so it’s not overly busy, but you still have the convenience of going to the city without long travelling.

Fantastic hotel! Really conveniently located for The Lost Estate and close to plenty of bars/restaurants and public transport. Staff were very friendly and our room, though compact, was very clean and had everything we needed.

Immaculate hotel in a fantastic area. Everything you could ask for. The only downside was that the room was a bit dark with a small window, but otherwise a great deal for the price.
