"Excellent value for location"

This place is among the best you'll find for the price inside the London tourist area, specifically South Kensington. The room was a bit small, but that's typical of hotels in the area. Room was clean and well appointed, even had a safe in the closet. The hotel is old, but well kept. Just a block from the science museum, 2 blocks from the Victoria and Albert museum and a short hike to Harrod's. Among the nice bonuses are the bar adjoining the lobby, a laundromat just around the corner at the end of the block, and the South Kensington tube station is 2 blocks away.

"Excellent choice of accomodations"

Stayed 6 nights and left March 3, 2007. Perhaps because we had such an extended stay, they gave us an isolated room (#109) on the mezzanine level. It was warm and quiet, had a firm mattress, and a super clean, nice, bright bathroom with shower/tub combo. There was an Internet hookup which we didn't use and a TV with remote. We paid $200 a night and booked several weeks in advance via a website. We did not have the breakfast option. The location is wonderful: walking distance to South Kensington tube, the Natural History Museum and, most importantly, the Victoria & Albert Museum where we spent 1 1/2 days; in addition, there are a lot of restaurants and cafes within walking distance--closer to the tube station. There is a bar in the lovely lobby, and they stock the daily newspapers, so you can relax there after a long tourist day. It's on a quiet side street in an area that has a number of embassies. We felt quite safe in South Kensington. The front desk was manned sufficiently 24 hours a day, and we are happy that out of all the London 3 star hotels, we choose this one.

"Beautiful place to stay - Highly Recommended!"

We stayed for 4 nights in March. Fantastic location just next to Natural History, Science and Victoria & Albert Museum. Tube station is very close too and if you want to go shopping, you don't have to walk for long. It is located in very nice and safe area. Rooms are very clean and room size correspondent to London standards. The front desk was manned sufficiently 24 hours a day and staff happy to help. On the arrival we were offered complimentary tea/coffee. We are happy that we stayed here and we plan to come back again!

"Hotel clean, staff friendly"

Hotel staff very friendly. All very clean. Breakfast included was sufficient. The only problem I had was the small lift. Too small, very slow, old shaky, would preferred to stay on the ground floor so I could take the stairs. On the whole myself and friends enjoyed our stay, we'll be hoping to book the same time next year.
