You HAVE to be better at defining that this is a student residence not a hotel. The address was very difficult to find. Just be transparent and more explanatory. Also, tell people in advance that breakfast is faaaar from the residence. Frankilene at the snack bar was asked to microwave something for me, she was so rude and put out like I'd asked her to strip naked, she needs a serious attitude adjustment. Nice clean room, but the bed cannot be advertised as double, it's a large twin at best. You're dressing a monkey in silk here it was okay but you have to be honest. Once we found breakfast, it was exceptional. Reception staff we're very helpful and friendly.

Room was sufficient. Didn’t realize it was a college dormitory and finding reception was hard because of this. Not sure how it was advertised in Travelocity. Room smelled strongly of dog odor? Had to open window. That said, might use it again sometime.

The accommodation is conveniently located but not especially good value for money. Whilst the location is expensive it is stilll basic student accommodation and the price is still relatively high compared to others in the area. Also the staff insisted we should have photo ID, which is not stared on the booking and it's the first time I've ever been asked in the UK (including a few weeks previously in a similar area). I booked two rooms but the second was seen as a separate booking even though they only had my contact details. Despite arriving together my colleague was also asked for photo ID which he didn't have. The situation was resolved but this was unnecessary stress as the staff insisted ID was required in the UK hotel trade. This is not true and it is not a hotel; they can insist but should state it on their communication for the future.

The hotel is on a university campus and the rooms appear to be dorm rooms. With that said, the room was fine, check in was easy. The only thing we didn’t like or realize was there was no TV in the room. We were only there 1 night so it wasn’t a big deal for us.

This is Hostel accommodation for Imperial College London. So it is like sleeping in College Dorm room. We reserved room with 2 twin beds and our room had 2 of everything. Desk, Lamp, Towel set, etc. Room was clean but don’t expect hotel like setup. Bathroom was really small. Shower was big enough for just standing one person and there was no way you could put soap on yourself without turning off water completely. Toiletries were provided and were sufficient.

It’s all about the location to the free museums. What they don’t tell you is the room is like a college dormitory because it is a part of the Imperial College in London. So it’s an affordable stay for London, but it’s not an hotel. Plus the shower set off the fire alarm even with the bathroom door closed shut. I felt bad for my neighbors, but you gotta wash your hair. This is an average hotel a bit above Motel 6 since it’s safe with a fantastic location.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This property is not a regular hotel. It is excess university dorm rooms that are rented out for accommodation. Adjust your expectations accordingly. They are not well set up for travelers, meaning that there is no great place to put a suitcase, no shelves in the bathroom for toiletries. The bed is functional but not necessarily comfortable. Mine was hard. But it was clean, quiet, and very convenient to one of the South Kensington stations. Something to know, however, is that even though this entrance is an easy 2-minute walk from the rooms, it is not close to the actual train lines. After entering the underground there is a 5-10 minute walk to the train platforms. If you would like to be on the trains more quickly, I suggest looking for alternative accommodation.
