Family getaway to London

The entrance lobby and downstairs parts of the hotel were nice, clean and well decorated. The room was very dated with lots of marks and scuffs on the walls. Bathroom wasn’t the cleanest with old mould marks in shower and bath. Service was good apart from a long delay at check in but that was to be expected. We didn’t eat or drink in the hotel so can’t comment on that.

Just ok

Outside appearance looks very dated. Lobby is better but the rooms are very dated and in need of freshening up. Check in was slow, not enough staff working. Room is basic and bathroom was very shabby. They all need a good freshen up. We didn’t eat in the hotel but went to the bar for drinks. Drink choice was good but service was poor. Nobody behind the bar and 3 people looked at us and still didn’t come to serve!

Hotel has vary good location, near High Street Kensington station. Stuff is children frendly and we had a great time there. Soundproof isloation is not so good, so if we heared other people, other people probably heard us.

Having stayed here before we rebooked for our overnight - The check in process took far too long - I had a message to see when I'd planned to arrive - once in the hotel I was confronted with a queue of 8 people.... i noticed there was a person behind the many check in desks appeared to do nothing to shrink this queue.... the hotel needs so work to bring it to the standard they are claiming to be.
