Only there for 1 night, but as just a base to sleep it couldn't have been more perfect, and a super convenient location. Bonus points for there being a fan in the room!

I had a lovely time staying at this hotel. I arrived at 8am after a red eye flight, and to my luck my room was ready. I stayed in the room with the twin bed. It was small, but perfect for my solo trip. I had a great view of the Kensington Gardens. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Fantastic location too, a short walk from Notting Hill and Hyde Park. When I return to London, I will definitely stay here.
