The location is really good. I walked to South Kensington tube station easily (it is only 5-10 minutes away). The staff were cute and very helpful, which i appreciated. They brought me fresh milk for my coffee machine quickly when i asked early in the morning.
The room was not very big. I think the bathroom could have used more shelf space. I found the decor of the hotel a bit outdated.
