4/5 Ali C. 1 year ago on Google
I
want
to
start
by
saying
that
I
do
not
believe
that
this
hotel
deserves
as
low
of
ratings
as
I
have
seen.
There
were
good
and
bad
things
but
overall
I
would
be
very
happy
to
stay
here
again.
I
got
one
of
the
superior
rooms
because
I
was
going
to
be
there
a
week
and
I
am
glad
I
did.
Staff
was
friendly
and
helpful,
amenities
were
decent,
and
I
had
a
perfectly
acceptable
stay.
I'll
go
into
more
detail.
The
Good:
1)
The
location
is
impeccable.
You
are
insanely
close
to
Kensington
Gardens
as
well
as
three
underground
stations
and
several
bus
stops.
One
street
over
you
have
several
options
for
neighborhood
markets,
fast
food.
restaurants,
and
a
few
shops.
You
are
walking
distance
from
Notting
Hill,
several
museums,
and
several
parks.
2)
The
rooms
were
a
decent
size
for
London,
though
the
shower
was
very
small
so
be
aware
of
that.
I
found
the
bed
to
be
adequate
but
I
think
if
I
had
back
problems
it
may
have
lacked
support.
It
is
also
very
useful
to
have
a
small
kitchenette
with
some
cooking
equipment.
More
on
that
later.
3)
They
offer
many
things
at
the
front
desk,
some
free
and
some
for
sale,
including
a
hair
dryer,
laundry
pods,
and
some
toiletries.
If
you
stay
more
than
a
week
they
also
include
a
complimentary
room
cleaning.
Towels
and
sheets
are
always
free
at
your
request.
4)
Even
with
a
last
minute
booking
the
price
was
very
reasonable
considering
location
and
amenities.
If
it
had
been
more
I
don't
think
it
would
have
been
as
worth
it
but
I
also
only
booked
the
day
before
I
needed
it
so
keep
that
in
mind.
The
Less
Good:
1)
The
kitchens
really
need
more
in
them.
One
pan
and
one
pot
with
only
one
lid
was
not
sufficient.
Additionally,
be
aware,
there
are
no
cooking
utensils.
They
do
have
eating
utensils
which
I
made
due
with
but
no
spatula
or
anything.
They
also
don't
give
you
washing
up
liquid
which
I
feel
should
be
provided.
For
one
person
it
was
fine
but
not
ideal.
Also
the
freezer
cover
kept
getting
caught
and
causing
the
too
cold
air
to
seep
into
the
fridge
and
freeze
things.
2)
Please
remember
that,
like
most
places
in
the
UK,
there
are
no
screens
on
the
windows.
this
means
that
cockroaches,
birds,
bees,
etc.
are
able
to
get
in.
They
don't
have
an
infestation,
it's
just
a
product
of
having
the
windows
open.
I
was
glad
to
be
on
the
top
floor
or
I
also
don't
think
it
would
have
felt
very
safe.
3)
The
complaints
about
the
heat
are
completely
true.
It
isn't
their
fault,
obviously.
But
prepare
to
sweat.
I
wasn't
even
there
on
that
hot
of
a
week
and
I
was
very
uncomfortable
if
they
window
wasn't
open.
4)
The
laundry
is
coin
operated.
It's
not
that
big
of
a
deal
but
as
not
all
people
will
have
actual
coins
or
want
to
do
an
exchange
just
for
that
it
is
inconvenient.
It
would
have
been
nice
if
they
either
had
a
machine
where
you
could
get
coins
or
if
you
could
pay
with
a
card.
As
a
result
I
ended
up
just
washing
my
clothes
in
the
sink
and
hanging
dry.
Overall
I
think
this
hotel
was
totally
fine
for
the
value.
It
is
rather
old
and
dated
and
could
definitely
due
with
some
upgrades
to
their
carpet
and
paint.
But
it
isn't
nearly
as
bad
as
I
was
expecting.
I
went
in
very
wary
and
was
pleasantly
surprised.
It
is
probably
closer
to
like
3.75
stars
but
4
is
close
enough.
I
would
stay
here
again,
especially
if
I
was
on
a
solo
trip.
