Superb

Good

Okay for a few nights

Liked: Quiet neighborhood, wooden flooring
Disliked: The bathroom was literally inside a closet. The shower drain was a little clogged. Poor ventilation, had to sleep with the window fully opened and without the curtains.

Not very good

Liked: Good price as it was near Hyde park Staff were very nice
Disliked: Holes in wallsTv hanging off the wall and socket No electrical outlet workedExtremely hot no air con or even big window

Passable

Liked: Location
Disliked: In all photos the rooms looked decently sized, when our room had no floor space what so ever. And it was way to hot with no sort of cooling down source available, only a window that half opens and didn’t have a good breeze, which is not ideal when in London either it being nearly 30 degrees. Ended up feeling very nauseous in the room due to how hot and small it was

Passable

Liked: Pricing is fair, good location, comfortable beds, tiny rooms
Disliked: The room and the bathroom is very small.

Very good

Overall, we had a good...

Liked: We liked the location (5-10 min walk to subway; cafes, pubs, food,express-groceries nearby, walking distance to Notting Hill and Hyde Park). The neighborhood was beautiful and felt very safe. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful.The hotel—despite being old and worn—was very clean. While we were there, the old-fashioned room keys were swapped to a card system. We learned that this place has new owners, and they are working on renovating and updating the hotel. While we would not have minded to walk up stairs, especially since we were on the first floor and did not have much luggage, it was nice to be able to use an elevator at the end of a long day of walking around the city :-)
Disliked: Currently, this hotel does not have an option for breakfast. While an electric kettle and a few packs of tea and freeze dried coffee are provided, the rooms do not have a fridge to store any foods (such as specialty milk) that might spoil or keep drinks cool. A mini fridge in the rooms would make the stay so much more comfortable. However, the cafe Guillam Coffee House is a nice option only two blocks away. The mattresses and beds are not great, but ok for the price we paid. While we were there, the bedding was swapped from a sheet/blanket combo to a comfortable duvet. Unfortunately, since it was pretty warm, we almost preferred the former ;-)These were only little inconveniences- overall, it was good value for the price we paid. If the prices don’t go up too much due to the upgrades, we will be back!

Not recommended to stay at...

Liked: The location is great — really close to the Circle and Central lines, with plenty of options for eating out and buying groceries.
Disliked: I booked this hotel with a double bed and a single bed, as advertised. A few days after booking, I received a message saying they would try to provide that setup, but it wasn’t guaranteed. In the end, we received a room with three single beds, which was not appropriate for a family with a small baby.The staff suggested we push the beds together, which we did out of necessity, but they moved around constantly, and I spent the night worried my baby might fall between them.Other major issues:•Poor ventilation – Windows were very old and hard to open. A small fan was provided but not effective for the whole room.•No fridge in the room – We couldn’t store baby food or purées properly.•Elevator was broken 3 out of 4 days – We had to carry luggage and a stroller up/down the stairs.•Noise and building condition – The hotel smells musty, and you can hear every step from rooms above due to creaky wooden floors.•Uncomfortable sleep – Between the heat, smell, noise, and checking on the baby constantly, we hardly slept.We didn’t expect luxury, but we expected basic comfort and accurate information about the room. Unfortunately, this stay was very disappointing and stressful, especially with a baby. I would not recommend it for families
