11.2/10 Exceptional! (1,000 reviews)
The second time I've stayed at this hotel. Rooms are clean and tidy, and only a short walk from Warwick Avenue Underground station and Little Venice.
Behind the hotel is a bar/off-licence called 'Real Drinks', lots of different beverages you can drink in or take away, and a superb pub called 'The Prince Alfred'.

Windermere Lake is always an attraction, bringing with it a lot of people. So it gets very busy.... Finding a parking space in the town can be difficult, so maybe find one a little away from the centre and walk in to the hurly-burly

Great boat trip and easy walk along the west side of the lake.
