Family accommodations in South Kensington

Room was basic and unimpressive. No cable sockets for charging or connecting. No plugs by the bed. The room overall and bathroom requires refurbishing, and is very tired looking. Bathroom was small and cramped. The bath & washbasin had not been cleaned, also visible limescale. Everywhere you looked it was becoming apparent the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned properly for a long time. The shower, water flowed slowly. Didn’t dare to touch the rubber bath mat. Air conditioning wasn’t effective for one of the hottest days. No coffee/tea/water provided in room. Nothing extra to feel welcome. Lack of signage. Car park is bookable through JustPark, spaces are small. Drop luggage etc at front entrance, only stairs up to the hotel lobby from the underground car park. We decided to have food in the bar after an evening out. The bar and room service closed early, stated they were open until 11pm. Everything was closed at 10:40pm. Which was dissatisfying due to being diabetic, and needing to prevent a hypoglycaemic attack over night. Went to bed with no food or drink. Limited selection of soft drinks at the bar and only two non alcoholic cocktails. Breakfast is buffet only. Book at hotel after arrival, offered at a lower price. Hotel was quiet and in a pleasant and accessible location. Staff polite and helpful.

I’m not staying anywhere else if I ever get back to London.

Very handily situated near the V&A, Natural History and Science museums, Gloucester Road tube and Hyde Park. Plenty of eateries nearby too. Hotel well run by friendly staff. Great for a short stay.
