The location of the hotel, immediately opposite Kensington Gardens and within easy walking distance of the V&A museum, is excellent. As for the interior of the hotel itself: it clearly needs a lot of money spending in order to effect much needed renovation of a potentially splendid environment. Staff were excellent.

Property is from year 1865 and it is unique. Some things could be amended, like water in shower/tub. It was really difficult to adjust hot water. Walls are thin. We did sleep very good thow, good matresses. Windows are old dingle classed and it can be cold in the room on cold weather and moisty also. Adapter is needed for electric devices. Adapters can be lended from reception. Markets, restaurants near. Hyde park cross the street.

Ihan paras sijainti Hyde Parkia vastapäätä Central-metrolinjan ja bussireittien varrella. Lentokentältä suora yhteys Paddingtonin asemalle, joka on 10 min kävelymatkan päässä hotellilta. Rauhallinen alue, jossa voi levähtää keskustan hälinän jälkeen. Huoneemme oli neljännessä kerroksessa, ullakkokerroksessa, jonne kuljettiin kapeita käytäviä. Huone oli siisti, mutta vanhahtava. Hyvin siivottiin joka päivä. Pieni ikkuna, josta saimme hiukan viileyttä huoneeseen. Kovalla helteellä olisi ollut tukalaa. Yleiset tilat olivat todella hienostuneet. Mannermainen aamiainen riittävä, mutta ei vaihtelua viiden päivän aikana. Joka tapauksessa menisimme mielellään uudestaan samaan hotelliin.
