The location was great. The AC was excellent. The bathroom was very nice.

The hotel is small, the room, the halls, the lobby. It feels a little cramped.

Lovely stay in a mostly residential area
Pros:

Quiet room, excellent air conditioning during a heat wave. The staff were wonderful! Friendly and went out of their way to help. The room and bathroom were perfect for one person.

Cons:

The nearest tube station would have been fine except that I was not feeling my best and it was horrendously hot the week I was there. So walking to the tube station was a little too long a walk. Not the hotel's fault, just warning people with mobility issues.
I only ate breakfast once. After that I walked 3 blocks to a very good place (Fait Maison) for a cheaper, better breakfast. Also a big downer for me: the hotel does not serve brewed decaffeinated coffee. I get heart palpitations from caffeinated coffee and don't like the taste of instant. That is the main reason I went to the restaurant: good decaf.

Excellent location within walking distance of Kensington High Street. Proper "old fashioned" hotel.
Pros:

Smart, up-market and quiet location in West Kensington. Lovely varied continental breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. Air-conditioning left on all day for us, so cool room after outside temperature above 30 C.

Cons:

Bathroom sink plug became jammed.

Don't stay here unless you enjoy being nickel and dimed from condescending staff on a power trip!
Pros:

Good location, comfy beds, and clean bathroom.
Nicole (chief receptionist) was so friendly and helpful, she truly went above and beyond to arrange cabs and make us feel at home.

Cons:

Maid cleaned our room but forgot to give us any towels, so when I asked Miracle to send some up, she gave a major attitude, complete with eye rolling and sarcastic comments, which were in no short supply in practically every interaction with her. On our last night, we asked for 2 bottles of water and received a lecture from a man who I think was named David, about how he's lived his whole life drinking London tapwater and says he's healthy. Well, I wasn't afraid for my health but rather wanted to just reach over to drink water instead of making ten trips to refill the shot glass sized glasses in the room during the night.
Then, when checking out at 5:15 a.m., he practically chased after me asking for payment of the two waters ( which should have been free to begin with like most hotels) even though my taxi was waiting and I was on my way to catch the Eurostar to Brussels. I told him he already had my credit card on file and to simply charge the two water bottles to that. With the exception of Nicole, the staff here is so rude and condescending that I would never stay here again nor recommend it to anyone.
