Great stay

Great room with two singles for the kids and a seperate room for adults, one very small critique would be secondary latch to stop the kids opening the main door from inside, apart from that, great hotel, great breakfast and amazing staff.

8/10 Very good

nice hotel in the french quarter

Nice hotel. first room I was shown was beautiful, big and lovely but no window so I did not accept it. Second room was much smaller, smaller bedroom and bathroom but with a small window on the 4 th floor. Breakfast in the hotel next door was very nice and the staff members all very kind. Would come back but perhaps choose another room category.
Emilie J., 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A great place to stay!

It was a nice hotel in a lovely area and was near South Kensington tube station and the main museums. The room was fresh and clean, but my shower cubicle was a bit small, but I managed! The breakfast was served in the sister hotel opposite and there were plenty of options to choose from.

Margaret, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location and basic room

We stayed here for one night. Location is great and staff very friendly. We were however surprised to find our room to be in the basement. Room was clean but very basic and interior dated. Great for a one night stay but probably wouldn’t come back for a longer trip.
