The hotel offers a charming room with a bunk bed and a built-in ladder to the top bunk, along with a lovely little garden view perfect for enjoying your own breakfast. Despite the short-handed service at the reception desk, they eventually clarified that any hairs found were part of the bedding. The location is in a quiet neighborhood in Kensington, close to the tube station. The dining experience includes Neapolitan pizza, and the facilities are well-maintained.

My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The rooms were beautifully decorated, and the lovely touches made it feel so cozy. The kitchenette was a great addition and easy to use. However, the service felt a bit short-handed at times, and there were some issues with follow-up on requests. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood but still close to Earl's Court Tube station. The dining experience was a highlight with fresh and unlimited pancakes. The facilities were top-notch with everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is located in a lovely Kensington neighborhood within a 5-minute walk to Earl's Court tube station. The rooms are comfortable with bunk beds and a small roll away bed, but there are few amenities close by. The service seemed short-handed at the reception desk and didn't follow up on requests. The dining includes fresh seasonal fruits. Although the location is great, in a quiet neighborhood, the facilities are average.
