This place was excellent. The room was clean and nice, and the bathroom was also clean and spacious. The breakfast included in my package was excellent. It’s a beautiful safe area to stay in, and everything was convenient. My only complaint was that the Wi-Fi didn’t work at all.

We were very conveniently placed for our visit to the Royal Albert Hall. It was a bit of a walk from S Kensington Tube Station,as we are in our 80's It was a very good price for central London accommodation.

Great budget accommodation for this location. Friendly service and bag storage at reception. The trade offs are no AC and poor wifi in the room (but fine outside).

Students dorms with no A/C so it can be a bit crazy during the summer, just a small fan. The room is small but comfortable and the location is very good. When checking in, two employees were insulting each other and it was a bit uncomfortable. Check out was fast and easy

The staff was very helpful and accommodating! We had an issue with the toilet flush, and it was addressed properly. The meal ticket was also adjusted to include both my cousin and me. That was very much appreciated! Everyone was very kind and the room was very comfortable! Excellent location! Thank you!

My experience was not bad. I was missing a fan and my bed was too small therefore, I didn’t sleep comfortably. The staff made my experience good. They will quickly assistance with any issue. The area is safe and walkable to visit some of London attractions. The dorms do feel hot. I would recommend solo travelers to check this place out.

It is not a hotel in the classic meaning. The hotel is part of the Imperial College London. There are a handfull of different buildings where the guests are placed. he breakfast isn't in one of them, but at the college. The staff members are nice and polite. The room war okay, maybe a bit used.

I enjoyed the peaceful, green surroundings. The staff is friendly and welcoming. One thing I found disappointing was that the double bed was only 120 centimeters wide. Much too narrow for two people.
