The room was beautiful with a cozy bed and a tub and a shower in the bathroom. The location was unbeatable, to get to Portobello Road market, the view was PLEASANT, too. What's more, it was near to London for the first time, major attractions and the Kensington and Paddington areas.

Gorgeous place for one night and excellent staff. Spotless room itself with the Nespresso machine, large modern television, the bar. Breakfast for the standard option. Amazing location in the vibrant neighborhood of South Kensington. Again, walking distance to a scientifically spellbinding museum.
Poorly trained staff!

The breakfast was healthy for the standard option, and the staff was competent. Our accommodation was set in a central location so close to the transport, the Natural History Museum and underground.
