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 stay. It's a lower price for people who are spending their day seeing the sites, and coming back to regroup and sleep. Only issue, which they do try and address: Shower sets off the fire alarm. Even if it's not your room. Went off 2 nights during my stay. Rooms clean. You can drop off your luggage before check-in, and you can check-in much later than 2pm (if you're out n about).

Liked: Amenities
The hotel is on a university campus and the rooms appear to be dorm rooms. With that said, the room was fine, check in was easy. The only thing we didn’t like or realize was there was no TV in the room. We were only there 1 night so it wasn’t a big deal for us.

I do not consider this facility is a hotel. To get to the front desk you have to walk outside (about 100 yard) to get some help. There is no telephone in the room to reach the front desk. Only good thing I experienced was the front desk staff, generally friendly and helpful. I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS IS A HOTEL.

Stayed for 1 night after going to BST Hyde Park. Location was ideal, quiet square and close to Hyde Park. Room was very basic. Student digs. Breakfast was located 5 mins walk from room and had a good choice.

Great location and very good value. Check in was a bit of nightmare - very disorganised and long queues - but the staff were lovely. The room was basic, but clean and had everything we needed. It was very hot in the room and the fan provided was noisy, but London was basking in a heatwave so to be expected.
