My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was small but adequate for a night stay, and the only source of heat was a small radiator. The service was efficient although a bit standoffish with the porter. The location was excellent for getting into the city easily, and the included breakfast was very good. The dining experience offered the typical English breakfast, which was lovely, but there was a small surcharge for requesting poached eggs. The facilities were decent overall.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, close to the city center and Hyde Park, making it very convenient and safe. The rooms, unfortunately, needed updating, with a shabby appearance and a non-functional TV for the entire stay. However, the daily servicing and fresh towels added a touch of cleanliness to the room.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were surprisingly quiet at the end of the corridor, which was a bonus, but they looked nothing like the images shown online and were quite small with a tube line beside the hotel. The service varied from being very knowledgeable and helpful to rude and disrespectful, with some admitting mistakes while others showed no interest in customer issues. The location was convenient, with easy access to transport links, but felt like a building site in terms of safety. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a great option to swim but poor quality meals served in a dark basement.

The hotel is in a great location, just across Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, making it very convenient for a quick walk to these attractions. The rooms, despite being small and facing some noise from the lift, are well-equipped with large beds. The service was friendly and attentive, though there were minor delays with technical support. The hotel dining was solid but lacked some refinement. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor inconveniences.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! They were so understanding when our room was too small for my family, and they upgraded us without any hassle. It's honestly the best hotel I've been to so far, and my kids loved all the facilities. However, the room had a bed slightly larger than a single bed, leaving no space for our bags. The bathroom was a bit dusty and needed a good clean. Overall, a great experience!

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient, just a short walk to the tube station and practical bus access, but the overall condition of the place left much to be desired. The staff had moments of being incredibly rude, but they redeemed themselves with their helpfulness in arranging repairs and offering tea. The dining options were a hit or miss, with some good selections but also some disappointing aspects. The rooms, while ready on time, were small and basic with issues like heat and noise from the fan.
