The hotel offers a mix of a room experience, from spacious and well-kept to some in need of maintenance. The staff is friendly and accommodating, although recruitment challenges may impact service quality. The location is excellent for access to the Albert Hall and other major attractions but a bit of a walk to the tube. The dining options are varied, with some exceptional choices alongside occasional misses in taste. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel's rooms were in a poor state of repair with silicone piled on silicone to stop leaks, and the toilet didn't flush properly. On a positive note, the room had a minstrel's gallery, dark wood panels, a fireplace, stained glass windows, and a bathroom with a large bathtub/shower. However, the decor was dated, and amenities like teabags, milk, and sugar were limited, all for a high price of £314 plus extra for breakfast.

The location was perfect for enjoying a sunny spring weekend, being right next to Hyde Park for a morning jog. It was also convenient for the Albert Hall and major museums like V&A and the Science Museum, leading to a pleasant stay. However, it was a long way from tube stations, which might be inconvenient for some travelers.

The hotel is full of character, with really great rooms and a much nicer view, but they are lovely yet missing something. The service, particularly from Mate, was pleasant and helpful, going above normal customer service despite a bit of sharpness with another staff member. The location is beautiful, walking distance to Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park on a quiet street ideal for a good night's sleep. The dining experience was very fresh, although lacking in options on occasion. Overall, a great experience with a few minor flaws.

The hotel is set in a remarkable building with rich history. The rooms, as expected from such an old establishment, are small but packed with charm. The service is outstanding, especially from Mate who went above and beyond to enhance our stay. The location is perfect for exploring iconic London attractions and immersing in the city's beauty. The dining experience, although mostly good, had a minor hiccup with one dish. The facilities cater to our essential needs but could have offered a bit more.

I couldn't have asked for a better hotel halfway across the globe. The rooms were clean, spacious, and incredibly quiet, ensuring two nights of great sleep.
