Great location with busses, underground, shops and cafes/restaurants just around the corner. People at reception were very friendly. Room was clean and functional for a family of 3. The bed was too soft for me, so I slept on the sofa bed, which was better. We had brought sleep masks, as I had read in other reviews that the blinds don't cover the entire window. The room was quite warm, so we had to take the duvets out if the covers, but then it was very comfortable. The hotel was very quiet. The only thing missing in the room was a piece of hand soap; we had to use shower gel instead to wash our hands. Overall a very pleasant stay and definitely value for money!

We’ve stayed here 3x, felt this was enough to drop a review. It’s a decent hotel for the price, the kitchenette is a nice thing to have in spendy London and the room is spacious. The bed is fine, pillows could use some work (far too flat). In general, the place could use a little updating but if you aren’t super precious it’s fine. The rooms would benefit from a few small “comforts” - actual hand soap, a dry rack + cloth for dishes, a few more sets of silverware/dishes, etc. - that sort of small stuff would really make it feel more comfy for guests and doesn’t cost much for the hotel to provide. We’ll likely stay again at some point, the location is great and convenient for food, grocery, and transit.

The location of the property was great as it was easily accessible by train and bus. The room was very neat and tidy and facilities were as advertised. The kitchenette was stocked with all cooking utensils, stove and fridge, but there was no cleaning sponge to wash dishes or a drying cloth/tea towel to dry off the dishes. Other than this, the experience was very good and we would recommend this property.

Our stay here was absolutely brilliant. We arrived at 7 A.M. and we were able to check straight in which was so appreciated after a long night of travel. We also were able to store our luggage all day to get an extra day of exploring in. Fantastic amenities and room a big plus was the fan over the bed. Overall would definitely stay again

The property needs more cleaning ladies for the hallways. Often the hallways were and the elevator were not as clean as they should be. They need to think about upgrading there extremely old elevators. But their location is the best.most reception people specially the lady are great. It is. lose to everything They need to concentrate on the clearness of the hallways and elevators

I stayed here for 2 nights from June 25th-27th. The room was spacious and had what I needed. The free laundry was a big bonus as I was on Day 8 and 9 of a 12 day trip and could use some fresh clothing. If I had one complaint, I was on the ground floor near the reception and the noise from people coming and going was a bit much especially late at night and early morning. But overall I would stay here again maybe just away from the reception area.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location is great – just an 8-minute walk from Gloucester Road Station, and the building has a gym, sauna, and jacuzzi. However, the apartment itself and the service leave a lot to be desired. The kitchen is very basic and needs improvement. The TV didn’t work, and there was no working phone – I couldn’t reach reception when needed. The floor was dirty, and the window shade didn’t block the sun at all, making it hard to rest. Guests are expected to take their own trash outside the building, which isn’t convenient. The gym is outdated and could use better equipment. Customer service was disappointing. When my son arrived, they refused to give him the key even though I was on the phone with them and had already provided my ID. Some of the staff were unhelpful and unprofessional zero trust Overall, a good location but poor service and facilities.. but it good price when high seasons.

It’s a reasonable place to spend a few days, the kitchenette is suitable and the rooms are somewhat comfortable. I was initially in room 112 directly above the smoking area (noise and smoke) but the team were happy to move me to a different room. Pillows were of low quality, but not terrible. Would happily stay again, but would possibly choose somewhere else first.

As an alternative to a hotel room, this property is highly convenient and in a good, quiet location in South Kensington. However it is a bit ... unusual. First, photo ID is required at check-in -- the receptionist explained that this is in the confirmation email, but we checked together, and it is not. It is, however, in the terms and conditions on Expedia -- though low down, not in the 'special check-in instructions' section, and not especially obvious. Fortunately, they accepted a photo of my driving licence on my phone. My details also hadn't been passed through from Expedia, so I had to provide my address again. Second, at check-in guests are asked to sign 2 pages of fine-printed terms and conditions, which is pretty atypical for somewhere that is pitched as an alternative to a hotel. These conditions are quite bizarre -- including a promise that the apartment is being used for residential purposes and not a short-term let: that seemed pretty weird given that it they were providing it to me for a single night. The property itself was in mostly good condition. That said, it did seem odd for two days of shower gel and shampoo to be provided ... but no handwash. There were also no coat hangers in the wardrobe. Some of the outlet holes in the shower head were blocked with limescale. Overall, I will consider staying here again if it is considerably cheaper than hotels in the area, but I wouldn't otherwise rush to do so until some of these issues have been addressed.
