Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Mixed reports: several guests call rooms 'spotlessly clean' with daily replenishment, but others noted a grubby room and occasional strange smells during renovations.
Service
6
Generally described as friendly and helpful by many guests, though at least one very negative incident involving booking/date handling significantly hurt the perception.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised as exceptional — very close to South Kensington tube and in a great neighbourhood; quiet despite central position.
Room Quality
4.5
Rooms often recently redecorated but frequently lack basic furnishings (no bedside tables, wardrobes, chairs), are very small in some cases and have tiny bathrooms.
Amenities
5.3
Limited amenities: no breakfast offered, no secure luggage storage area reported, very small fridge, and some rooms lack elevator access (stairs only).
Value for Money
8.5
Multiple reviewers highlight excellent value — good location and basic functionality for a low price, making it a strong option for budget-conscious travellers.
Food and Beverage
6
No in-house breakfast offered; guests note many nearby options but on-site F&B is essentially absent and the minibar/fridge is small and not very effective.
Overall Experience
8.4
A mixed but generally positive experience for budget travellers: excellent location and helpful staff for most, offset by small, sparsely furnished rooms and renovation-related issues.

Shabby hotel with poor security
Pros:

The day shift manager was very good. The room was clean

Cons:

The night shift manager was very poor. I had an intruder to my room in the middle of the night. The hotel was particularly shabby and run down

The location was good, but the room needed refurbishment and the stairs made access inconvenient.
Pros:

The location was convenient, and the shower was good.

Cons:

There were too many stairs to reach my room. The room showed signs of wear and tear, with numerous patches of plaster on the walls.

Lage top aber sehr renovierungsbedürftigt
Pros:

Die Lage ist super. Die U- Bahn ist direkt ums Eck. Kühlschrank und Mikrowelle im Zimmer ist perfekt.
Der Herr an der Rezeption war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Der Teppichboden ist total verschmutzt. Die Vorhänge verdunkeln die Zimmer gar nicht. Im Bad befindet sich kein Föhn.

Sehr gute Lage. Das neue Bad war sehr sauber. Das Zimmer selbst leider etwas herunter gekommen.
Pros:

Die Lage direkt am V&A ist super.

Cons:

Die alten kaputten Möbel sollten lieber ganz entfernt werden.
Und der Straßenlärm ist unüberhörbar am Morgen.

L’hôtel est situé dans un bon quartier mais reste très médiocre pour le prix très élevé.
Pros:

Il est bien situé, proche du métro et des bus, pas de mal de restaurant aux alentours.

Cons:

La chambre sentait mauvais. Pas de climatisation. Linge de lit sale ou taché. Pas de parking. Pas d’ascenseur donc compliqué pour les grosses valises.

Pleasantly supprised.
Pros:

Wow. Wasn't expecting much with the price that I paid. Pleasently suprised. Room had resently been painted, bathroom was a desent size and the shower was piping hot. Toilet very clean. There was even a fan in the room. Security was good and I felt safe when door was locked.

Cons:

A nice little table to put the kettle/tea/coffee on instead of using a chair. Entrance and stairs carpet/ballastrade are a little worn and showing their age.
