Shower was faulty - reported it but nothing done to remedy the situation. Went from freezing cold water to very very hot …to the extent that it meant jumping out in case of a burn

It was a small room but i had a small balcony. Price is ok. But i couldn't sleep well because of noise from next room. I could hear everything from next room. When someone is speaking or TV etc...staffs are quite nice, breakfast is ok.

Recently refurbished, there was still a slight smell of fresh paint, I found the bed comfortable and the room had a good shower. A lovely place to stay, near South Kensington tube and many cafes and places to eat close by. Also close to the museums. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Minor issues, heating was broken so I was given an electic fire and lift was broken; both will be fixed and I would have no hesitation staying here again.
