Good value budget accommodation, based on summer occupancy of student halls of residence. The facilities are basic but adequate providing a comfortable stay for a bargain price that forms a superb base from which to explore all London.

Superb location, for Albert Hell, museums etc. Accommodation is a student hall (for Imperial College) out of term - therefore rather spartan (no TV) but perfectly functional, clean, and relatively cheap for this part of London. Useful bar and small shop on site.

The staff was very helpful and the accommodations were hotel-like despite it being a residence hall. The fire alarms truly do go off a lot! At least 3 times during my 7 day stay.

Basic accommodation in great location
Great basic accommodation, perfect location for hyde park. Very reeaonably priced compared to other hotels in the area. Student accommodation so nothing fancy but had what we needed for a one night stay. Mattress was very firm. Nice setting with garden area in the square, handy shop downstairs.

These are college dorms and should be considered in that regard. The only thing that makes this space a bit uncomfortable is the tendency for fire alarms to go off at any point and the lack of toiletries available (e.g., towels, drinking water, ice, and iron)

The location of the property was very good as I was going to a gig at the Royal Albert Hall and it was only a 5 minute walk away.
The only downside was the check-in process, there was a very long queue and it took approx. 45 minutes to get checked in.
