I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and fairly comfortable rooms. The bathroom was a bit dated, but having three single beds was convenient, and opening the windows allowed some fresh air in. The service was satisfactory, and the housekeeping was up to standard. The location was excellent, being right beside Hyde Park in a great neighborhood, which made it easy to access main tourist attractions and the subway station. The dining was limited to fish and chips, but it was a decent meal. Overall, it was a good value for the money.

The hotel is in a fantastic location just across from Kensington Gardens, making it a perfect spot for exploring the city. The rooms, although a bit dated, were fairly clean and had 3 single beds, providing a comfortable stay. The service, especially the housekeeping, was top-notch, making me feel well taken care of. However, the dining options were limited to fish and meat dishes only, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
