location
The hotel is located opposite Kensington Gardens, and just five minutes from High Street Kensington underground station. Its prime location also makes shopping and sightseeing easily accessible. The Royal Albert Hall and the Museums are located within ten minutes walk.
rooms
The hotel is made up of many houses joined together and as a result the rooms generally differ in size. Some of the rooms have extremely high ceilings, giving a feeling of space. The rooms are in fair condition, clean, well kept, and have the usual amenities such as satellite television and tea and coffee.

It is situated on the ground floor and subtly decorated.
exterior
The hotel has a traditional exterior which recently underwent a facelift and has been restored to its original bright, smart condition.
lobby
The medium-sized lobby is comfortably furnished and is decorated in soft pastel colours with furnishings in wood creating a relaxed feel.
general
Although the bedrooms would benefit from some refurbishment, this hotel is well placed for visiting many of London's attractions and offers good value for money. (12/06 RP)
