We really enjoyed the location and the room was perfect.
Pros:

We enjoyed that we got to choose what room we wanted. All facilities were amazing including the shower. Me and my partner really enjoyed our stay here.

Cons:

The breakfast options weren’t our thing. But good if you enjoy a continental breakfast.

Comfy, convenient and clean.
Pros:

Extremely close to West Kensington and Barons court train stations. Safe area, fairly quiet! Walkable distance to small cafe, shops.

Cons:

If you’re in a room facing the road sometimes you can hear cars, people outside with the windows. Besides that it’s not too bad, I still slept well.

Hat seinen Zweck erfüllt.
Pros:

Das Hotel war prima gelegen, nur einige Minuten von der Metrostation und Busstationen entfernt. Der Preis für das Zimmer war sehr gut. Ich habe lange im Netz gesucht, um ein ordentliches Zimmer (inkl. Bad, Wasserkocher etc.) für diesen Preis zu bekommen. Dieses Hotel war das einzige und das Zimmer sehr gut.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein sehr kleines Zimmer mit anschliessendem Bad und die Badezimmertür war kaputt. Wir hatten gebeten, dass es repariert wird, aber das geschah in den 2 Tagen, in denen wir da waren, leider nicht.
