On the whole, the hotel was smart. However, the shower room showed its age. Also, the range of TV channels was rather limited.

Staff not welcoming , quite abrupt . Two single beds in room and two sets of towels despite me booking for three people . Room is not suitable for three. After an argument agreed to put another bed in room . I’ve never stayed in an hotel where the receptionists have been so unfriendly and unwelcoming .

The staff here are wonderful, very friendly and kind. Special thanks to the check-in staff, the doorman, and the wait staff in the Irish Bar. We stayed in an accessible room on the mezzanine floor which, unfortunately, was a little disappointing when compared with the rest of the hotel. Although the room was spotlessly clean, the decorations were tired, with a huge hole in the bathroom door where there had obviously previously been a hoist. There was no shower curtain, and no wardrobe or hanging rail for clothes. I understand that some sacrifices have to be made in an accessible room but that does seem like an oversight. I would still give the hotel five stars though as, apart from the niggles with the room, we had a wonderful stay. We will definitely return.

Where do I even begin? Let’s start with the handful of positives. It’s ideally located next to High Kensington Underground station. The exterior of the building appears impressive in a quiet area of London, and the lobby area is quite grand in its appearance. Now to the negative - the rooms are tired and uncared for. My hand wash and shower gel were empty on arrival, with some kind of dusty residue in the bath. The mini fridge kept humming loudly with no means of turning it off. No USB ports with the exception of this extender that illuminates the whole room with its blue on-light. Hot drink station only had one sachet of coffee and the mugs were dirty. Breakfast was poor service all round. The room simply can’t accommodate the number of guests, so I was directed to sit at the bar next to a box of unattended stationary. The coffee machines were out of action and no new tray of glasses for the juice, meaning I had to resort to using a coffee cup. No sneeze guard for the two huge bowls of yoghurt that was a haven for germs. Very weak selection, especially the muffins which were tiny and tasteless. The biggest upset for me was how unbothered the hotel reception staff appeared to be. When I checked out I was met with a strange element of disdain, as if the lady would rather be doing anything else than take my key card. Finally the biggest joke was the concierge service which was criminally understaffed. I was late getting to my meeting with dropping off the bags. Avoid!

The breakfast cereals were boring. Coco pops and cornflakes, and a muesli with barely any fruit in. No dried dates, etc. i noticed the hot food looked very good, though I didn’t have any. I had a veg burger in the bar the previous night which was very good and reasonably priced.
