While some may find the rooms a touch dated, the staff's attentiveness and the inviting atmosphere of The Stag bar more than compensate. It's a solid base for exploring London, blending convenience with a touch of classic charm.”

dated furniturethin walls
I was initially impressed by this hotel's location near kensington gardens. however, i soon found myself dealing with some serious issues. the room felt dated and tired. The furniture looked like it had seen much better days. also, the walls were paper thin, so i could hear everything happening around me. sleep was difficult.
