4/10 Fair

Broken aircon, dated and old rooms
This is my second stay at this hotel and will be my last. The location is exceptional and the staff are fantastic. The hotel is beyond its prime and needs a serious renovation. The air conditioner is broken in the entire building and the hotel is aware of this. I slept terribly on my last night as I was so hot. In the middle of summer with a doona on a bed and no air conditioning is a bad combination. (I slept on top of the doona). The shower leaked water all over the ground and the mirror strangely radiated out immense heat. Also didn’t have a fridge or a kettle.

8/10 Very Good

Good location, reasonably priced.
Pretty good location, near Kensington Garden, Notting Hill, and Hyde Park. Nearest tube is only a couple blocks away (Queensway), and location on Bayswater was good for hailing a cab without much trouble. Room was clean and relatively spacious for reasonably priced room in UK.

10/10 Exceptional

Central & Friendly
We had a four day stay. Liked the location very much, opposite the park, and a short walk to 3 different tube stations (3 lines accessible). Desk staff were extremely helpful and very friendly. Rooms a little small, but that's par for the course in central London and it had everything (including personal safe). I'd stay again.
