This hotel needs to update its photos, its s very run down. Our room was located in the basement. The view was of a gutter and bird spikes. The white bedding and towels were old, discolored and rough. The heating unit wasn't providing much heat.There was absolutely no room to move, we were a family of 3.

I checked in and checked out straight away. There were bags all up the stairs the man on. reception was miserable. The rooms were mot as described on the internet, you couldn't swing a cat in them. Absolutely terrible, hyde park bench would have been a better option . I couldnt get a refund as it was a non refundable room which is very annoying. I didnt cancel the room as i was coming to london anyway so needed somewhere to stay, it wasnt till i got to the hotel i realised how dire it was. I then had to find another hotel close by at a further cost

The location was wonderful and close to so many things. The staff was very pleasant. However, the room left much to be desired. The first day, there must have been an issue with the toilet because our whole room smelled like a sewer. I suspect the staff was aware of the issue because there was an aerosol fragrance can right outside our door when we checked in. Also, the beds filled up almost the entire space in the room. We had nowhere to put luggage and had to climb over things just to get to the bathroom and into our beds. I wouldn't recommend anyone stay in this room if you have more than two people even if the reservation says the room fits four. Another issue we had was that someone put some kind of cap in the drain of the shower and so when I turned on the shower water (which has high pressure), it filled up the bottom of the shower and started flooding the floor. Once I took the cap out, it drained fine and we didn't have any issues. I hate to give a poor review because the staff was great, the building is nice, and it's in a good area. But, please don't expect a really nice room.

A fairly small room at a reasonable price in Notting Hill. What's not to like. The staff were friendly. The room was clean as was the bathroom. There was a small range of toiletries available. Tea /coffee facilities also available.

Went to watch the football and used this hotel as a base. Ideal for Notting Hill gate tube. Stunning buildings nearby and Kensington Palace well worth a stop. Staff friendly and helpful. Room was small but we had no issues. Beds were comfy and had a great sleep. Even kept hold of our bags for us while.we explored on day 2. Give it a try and worth a go as a solid reliable London base. Just tucked off main road but noise not an issue either. Fab!

As described by others, the hotel could do with some TLC and the rooms seen are small. But they were clean, the staff were friendly, quiet, in a good location for underground and shops. So for London / the price bracket is good and fine for a night or two. I'd go again.

I booked a single room and wasn’t expecting much but omg the room was very small, the size of a double bed at most so I had the single bed and the same space again to move around in. The room was cleaning and the bedding was fresh, the bed however was very uncomfortable. Overall it was nice and the staff were very polite and helpful, I would stay there again just maybe not in the single room

Good location no frills hotel
Pros Location many subway stations and bus stops within a 5 minutes walk. Also restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets. Rooms of decent size for two people with only carry on baggage. Electric kettle, cups, tea and coffee Room service every day. Friendly personnel. Shower water with good pressure and temperature. Cons If you have heavy luggage it can be challenging to climb the stairs they are steep and narrow. Also if you are in less than optimal mobility condition and you get a 3rd or 4rd floor room you will have to take your time to reach it. The shower is small if you are XL size you won’t fit in it. No sound proofing Conclusion: you get a fair deal price wise, but take into consideration that there are some shortfalls.
