The hotel is worn. But the room is basic and clean, and the beds really comfortable. The rating reflects that the room was boiling hot, with a radiator on full speed, and with no possibility to turn it off (we tried). We were basically told there was nothing to do about it, were given a couple of fans for relief, and then we opened the window to the street to get through the nights. Aside from the noice from fans and trafic in the street, the room was still very warm. Not ok and not comfortable. However, the shower was mostly cold, and the first morning only one of us got a warm shower.
The location is great though. Just outside South Kensington St, and with a great variety of restaurants, shops, museums and parks within walking distance.
Despite the location, we will not come back.
