10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel in a convenient location a short walk from Earls Court tube station. Very pleasant and helpful staff and plenty of them to assist. Nice bar area. The soundproofing in the room was excellent no noise from the busy Cromwell Rd outside. Air conditioning worked well. The room had a small kitchen area which could be screened off with a curtain which we didn’t use but was a nice feature. Clean bathroom with toiletries. Please note that you need photo ID when checking in. This wasn’t clear when making the reservation but fortunately I had a photo of my passport on my phone otherwise there may have been a problem.

Amy, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Good stay overall, didn’t realise it is not actually a hotel but Aparthotel. The reception had an overwhelming air freshener, would not recommend to someone with severe asthma (like myself). Some loose socks lying in the corridors which is obviously not the hotel’s fault, but rubbish bags also often in the hallway.

Staff was outstanding, incredibly helpful, warm and welcoming. The bed was comfortable, my room did not have refrigerator, which I found strange. Breakfast was worth the upcharge.

Family holiday

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. All staff were friendly & helpful. The dining & lounge areas are very comfortable and they make you want to stay & enjoy them. The location of the hotel is just around the corner from underground stations and Kensington High St and many other attractions. Our hotel room had everything we needed for our stay. It was quiet and well appointed. Would definitely stay again and can recommend it

Charming and convenient. This boutique hotel combines character with excellent customer service in a location that is close to the underground/tube and lots of restaurants and shops. I would 100% stay again and recommend. It’s a great value option that doesn’t compromise on cleanliness and style.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel in a lovely part of London close to Holland Park, the Design Museum, the Natural History Museum, etc. Two great things about it are the incredible staff and the peaceful garden in the back. I will certainly return just for that!
