First of all, I absolutely LOVED staying at this property. What a cool place and an interesting part of town and close to the tube. Although the hotel is past its heyday, it still is majestic, has much charm and the rooms are clean and comfy. Staff was friendly, happy hour was relaxing and breakfast was very nice. I would definitely stay there again!

We loved the quirkiness of the very old building. Squeaky floor boards and old plumbing all mixed together with very comfy beds and lovely staff made for a very nice stay here. The closeness of Kensington Gardens was an added bonus.
