Only stayed for a night as we were seeing a gig at the Royal Albert Hall. Super convenient location, less than 10 mins to walk to the venue. Science/Natural History Museums all around the corner too, as was South Kensington tube station so very easy to get about. Area was quiet, although busy on a weekday morning as there is a school close by. We booked a budget double room but it was quite spacious, appreciated the AC as it was very hot in London. Bathroom and amenities were good. Only let down was the front desk staff looked super unhappy to be there! When we first arrived to check in, we were greeted by a pretty miserable looking woman! Not great customer service on check out either but we didn't need to interact with staff much during our stay so didn't bother us too much.
