The location was excellent and perfect next to a museum and a theatre. Actually, the room was well-appointed with a mini bar for free. The staff was highly courteous and caring on arrival and throughout the stay. The breakfast was stunning and delicious, we would have stayed for longer.

Tbh, had an enjoyable stay on a business trip. The hotel was placed in the very central location unable to tell me where I could find a local grocery store. And I were just next door to all the museums, Kensington Gardens, and the Princess Diana Memorial playground in the area, delicious restaurants and the underground and centre. The tapas restaurant served a good choice of nice food.

Its location in London was magnificent and fab, really close to the parks, the underground and the attractions of V & A, Hyde Park and Natural History Museum, and the very convenient South Kensington tube station and a bus stop right outside. The breakfast with the avocado and hot options, as example was stunning for what you got.
