This hotel was great. The staff was so accommodating and so kind. It was also close to transportation, with a buss stop right out front of the door, an underground a block down and solid amenities in the same street. I will absolutely stay here again.
Great boutique—esq hotel on the main (high) street of Kensington. Very convenient. But the biggest praise is the staff, everyone is super helpful and dedicated the service, it just makes your stay that much better. Highly recommend!
We love this hotel. Staff is great, ac was great in a hot July, first room was a little small but then we switched after being away in the cotswolds and new room was great. Great location for breakfast and meals but the hotel has great offerings. We loved in London for years and really like the proximity of Meliá and staff and rooms
This is a great location and exceptional staff. The room is nicely arranged w robes, a tea kettle and complimentary coffee and tea. While we were there, there was a planned hot water outage overnight, and elevator service which was a bit of a nuisance but overall a great stay. I would definitely return.
The hotel is ideally located— in the heart of Kensington, a short walk to Museum row and Kensington Palace, and just steps away from the underground ( with service via the Picadilly line direct to Heathrow). A lovely, well appointed property. Excellent hot and cold breakfast, with a lot of choice.
No complaints whatsoever. Lovely little room, comfy bed. There was a heat wave for my visit and the AC did the job very well. Very nice and helpful staff, and the room was well tidied every day. Super convenient to Gloucester Road tube station.
Room was gorgeous and unique with very high ceilings and great attention to detail. Staff was very welcoming and took their time to ensure that our check in process was seamless.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The rooms were immaculate and perfect, even our smaller single rooms. The staff were amazing and attentive, from the reception to the breakfast team. Carolina in particular was very welcoming and ensured she did everything she could to make our check in experience as smooth as possible.
