Pros:

Ideal location for an Imperial College 79 year old coming to a concert at the Albert Hall.Who cam thru' South Ken 60 years ago everyday.We have used regularly Dorset Square for the last 10 years and love the Kemp design aspect of all Kemp hotels

Cons:

For the price we did not expect steps to the third floor.The lift is creaky and feels about to collapse.

Lovely hotel but the standard rooms are too small.
Pros:

Love the hotel, breakfast, garden, decor and location.

Cons:

This time I got a standard room and it was ridiculously small. I had to edge carefully around the sink to use the toilet. Upgrades are essential!

The feeling of a beautiful townhouse with excellent service and a convenient location.
Pros:

This is a Kit Kemp hotel which means fabulous decor and art throughout. Super comfortable bed! Many rooms are small however so I recommend going up at least one category. There is a lovely garden where breakfast and tea are served if weather permits. The staff is very good overall. There were a few issues in the breakfast room but nothing major. I love the area. It manages to be quiet and peaceful but convenient to an underground station, museums and many restaurants.

Cons:

Well I waited 40 minutes for breakfast one morning. Service seemed disorganized there. Also rooms are small. My bathroom was tiny: one small sink and two steps down to get to it but it had all the amenities including a bathtub.

Absolutely Delightful!
Pros:

Beautifully decorated with incredible art. Every one of the staff were friendly & helpful!

Cons:

The only negative I can come up with is that there were 2 steep steps down to our bathroom with no lighting or handrail. Could be dangerous at night.
