Location was nice but the cleanliness and facities were a let down.
Pros:

The location and the size of the room.

Cons:

The tables were covered in dust and the shower and tap didn't work properly, so we didn't have warm water for the first night. The windows are also very thin and you could hear everything going on in the street.

Ik zou twee keer nadenken
Pros:

De locatie is heel fijn, de metro is op 5 minuten afstand. Ook zijn er veel winkels op 20 minuten loopafstand.

Cons:

Het feit dat je via Booking.com een bepaalde kamer boekt, maar deze niet bestaan op die locatie en je hebt er wel voor betaald. Contact loopt enkel via Whatsapp als je door de chatbot loop heen komt. Stopcontacten die het niet doen.

Great location.
Pros:

Good location.
Lovely compact hotel room with everything in it.
Funky decor and good facilities.
Great bed and linen.

Cons:

When I arrived, the employee was not helpful at all. Myself and another guest were not clear about check in process.
She said she was on a break, then disappeared and left 2 guests sitting in the foyer waiting with no clarity.
It was very hot in London and ventilation in the room was limited. The window opens very small. No air-conditioning.

Pros:

La ubicación en Kensington

Cons:

À la segunda noche se inundó la habitación porque ingresó agua pluvial desde el WC ya que afuera diluviaba. También nos caía agua a través de luminarias del cielo raso. No nos cambiaron de habitación, solo nos ofrecieron una para terminar de dormir esa noche (porque la exigí) y al otro día limpiaron la nuestra y como tenía alfombra quedó húmeda y con feo olor durante el resto de la estancia. No tiene ventilador de techo, solo uno de pie y menos aire acondicionado. Estuvimos durante una ola de calor a finales de junio con temperaturas a la noche de casi 30
Grados.
Exigí compensación y solo me reembolsaron al mes media noche de la estadía.
