    There was only 1 working elevator the 6 days we were there- the other elevator was out of order.

    The location was so convenient to the Tube, museums and Royal Albert Hall. Clean and quiet studio with a comfortable bed.

    Seems the lift to the 6th floor has been out of service for a while which means you will need to carry the heavy luggages by yourself from the 5th to the 6th(mainly the one bedroom rooms) floor by steps.

    Room is bigger than shown on pictures. Staffs are nice and helpful. Location is great.

    We stayed in a one bedroom maisonette. Internal doors were very heavy and kept slamming shut which was very noisy. Need door stops to keep them open. Only one lift working over the 3 days we were there so a long wait at the lifts.

    Fabulous location about 6 mins walk from Gloucester Rd tube and 10 mins walk from High Street Ken. Additional shops, cafes and restaurants literally on the doorstep. Staff were friendly.

    Shower grout could use a scrubbing and they were down to one working elevator so the wait was a little longer.

    It was an excellent location with easy access to Gloucester station and a street of food.

    Well, from day 2 of our 10 day stay the elevator to the 6th floor stopped working. It wasn't fixed till we left. I understand mechanical things can fail and it takes time to fix. But this was stretching it. Day 4 they offer me another room on a lower floor. But that meant packing and unpacking which frankly we werent ready to do. It was a lot. They offered me a second cleaning of the room for free. Welll that was appreciated but hardly in comparison to the inconvenience caused to us. Everyday we had to walk up and down thru the garbage room to reach our room. And for that the offer from the manager was a piddly 2md clean up. That was the most disappointing part of our lovely trip.

    Location and room type.

    The plumbing in our bathroom was not working properly. Strangely, the shower would not provide cold water so very difficult to cool down scalding hot water from both the showerhead and the basin. Management couldn’t rectify the fault.

    The room is really good, we love the location and the staff are friendly. We have been many times before and will return again no doubt in the future. In the context of London in accommodation we think it is excellent value.

    No towels in the room but reception sorted before we were back from the event so all good. I'm a wheelchair user and in the room we were allocated the sofa bed blocked access to the main space. Fortunately I can transfer and walk short distances so we didn't need to change rooms. If you need full wheelchair access within the room definitely ask them to double check if the room will meet your needs.

    Warm welcome, ramp access ♿ and the location for the Royal Albert Hall (we were attending an event there) and for Hyde Park. Would definitely stay again great to have the kitchenette and everything we needed was provided.

    Tired and felt like needed a good clean. Really poorly fitted curtains in the room meant that it was completely light at 5.30am! Not good if you need a dark room to sleep.

    The heating system / air conditioner was extremely noisy, until we learned to switch it off or used another mode. In the kitchen, we missed some basic stuff like kitchen towl / paper or oil.

    We liked the location. A quiet neighbourhood, yet shops closeby. No noise outside, quiet nights. A small but well-equipped gym room.
