Lovely small hotel with a garden
Pros:

Lovely smaller hotel that has great location, nice sheets and towels, beautiful decorated with a pretty garden, friendly staff and good made to order breakfast. Staff was friendly and helpful at front desk.

Cons:

Although we enjoyed and appreciated the friendliness and warmth of the dining staff and being able to get a hot breakfast, breakfast service was very slow and and sometimes disorganized, a few small tweaks could make it even better experience. Rooms are small, but that’s to be expected in London.

Un piccolo gioiello nel cuore di South Kensington
Pros:

Posizione, giardino, arredamento eccezionali. Bella l'idea dell'honesty bar, dal quale ci si può servire autonomamente in ogni momento, come essere a casa.

Cons:

Rispetto alla prima volta che ho soggiornato qui, diversi anni fa, ho trovato un servizio "nella norma", meno attento. Tutti gentilissimi ma senza quell'attenzione personalizzata che avevo trovato all'epoca e che ci si aspetta in un gioiello di hotel come questo. Colazione buona e ricca ma molte portate sono extra costo.
