The property in Harrington Gardens South Kensington very convenient, comfortable & v. accessible.
Pros:

I didn't take breakfast.
I was staying in Harrington Gardens and loved the building and the position close to Gloucester Road

Cons:

I was staying on the top floor during a heatwave and had no air conditioning and only a fan. Very uncomfortable

İyi
Pros:

Konum olarak merkezi yerde olması otelin konforlu yeni bir yerleşke olması güzeldi.

Cons:

Tam temiz olmayan çarşaflarla ve tuvaletle karşılanmamız ve bu tarz konuları çözmek için lobide sabit bir personelin bulunmaması beğenmediğimiz kısımlar diyebilirim.

Sakin ve konforlu
Pros:

Tesisin bulunduğu konum çok sakin ve nezih. Kısa bir yürüyüşle metroya ulaşım sağlayabildik. Odalar çok geniş değil ama yeterliydi. Su ısıtıcısı, ütü, ütü masası, elektrikli ısıtıcı oda da mevcuttu.

Cons:

Oda temizliği ilk etapta iyi gibi görünse de detaylı bakıldığında tam temizlenmemiş alanlar vardı. Tekrar oda servisi ile iletişime geçilip temizlik istemek durumunda kaldık. Tesiste yüz yüze iletişim kurulabilecek bir resepsiyon mevcut değil telefon üzerinden iletişim kurmanız gerekiyor. Buna rağmen hızlı dönüş alabildik.

Disappointing except location
Pros:

Neighborhood is great. Close to tube.

Cons:

No A/C. Dirty and dusty room. No room cleaning for 5 days stay. Saw a spider on the curtain. Tiny hallways. Lack of human communication, everything had to be done in the website in the name of hassle free experience.
