I was thrilled with the hotel's convenient location in the friendly Notting Hill area, providing easy access to various London sites. The rooms, albeit clean, were on the smaller side, and I had some difficulty maneuvering due to limited space. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making my stay more enjoyable overall.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hotel. Despite the room overlooking a car park, it was very comfortable. The noise from nearby construction was a minor inconvenience but didn't spoil my overall experience. The temperature was just right, and the bedding was decent, although the room itself was quite small.

The hotel was much smaller than expected but comfortable and had everything required for a London base/short stay. The service was accommodating and helpful, but not all staff members were friendly. The location was great with lots to see and do within walking distance. The dining options were fairly basic but at a good price. Rooms were comfortable but couldn't be released at our early arrival time.

The hotel is a smart choice with really friendly and helpful staff, a 15-minute walk from Paddington station, close to a tube station but overlooking a building site. The rooms are just large enough for the bed, an armoire, and a TV, but are small. The service is excellent overall, with very helpful and friendly staff accommodating guests' needs promptly. The location is good, offering easy access to tube stations, restaurants, and convenient stores but is not central. The dining experience is lacking and not too impressive, with homemade pizza being an option. Overall, the facilities are decent, meeting basic needs and providing a satisfactory stay at a fair price.

The hotel is located in a wonderful area, near two Underground stations and with easy access to bus stops, restaurants, and shops within a couple of minutes' walk. The rooms were clean, warm, and quiet, and I enjoyed a nice view of the garden. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was good. However, being close to Queensway could make it a bit touristy, although the hotel managed to maintain a peaceful atmosphere. Overall, a great base for exploring, just a short walk from Kensington Palace Gardens.

The hotel is located in a brilliant area, close to Bayswater Tube station and in a beautiful quiet square. The rooms, although not exactly as advertised, are still decent with a nice bathroom, good shower pressure, and necessary amenities. However, the noise from construction outside can be a downside. The service is hit-and-miss with some grumpy faces at reception but good overall. The location is fantastic, close to tube and bus stations, and eateries in a lovely residential neighborhood. The dining options may not be suitable for everyone, and the facilities are basic but sufficient.
