    I was so disappointed with my room. I have stayed in this hotel several times before but the room I was allocated on this occasion was horribly small and cramped with the TV diagonal to the bed and barely enough room to move from bedroom to en suite. It looks as if you have cut bigger rooms in half. You should warn your loyal customers about this. I had a serious accident recently with subsequent 3-hour surgery to my right arm. It is still painful and sensitive and moving around in that room was a nightmare

    The communal areas of the hotel are lovely and the location is excellent. Also the food in the foyer bar has improved enormously

    There was a slight odour of drains emanating from the ensuite both nights. Drinks very pricey! A covered smoking area would be good.

    I particularly like the convenience for Kensington High Street. The rooms were very clean. Great shower. Beds and pillows comfortable.

    The bathroom in the room was tiny. The sliding door was cumbersome and noisy. Would be better with a sliding frosted door. The rooms lighting was poor, which was further enhanced by lack of natural daylight. The price of cocktails was on the pricey side

    The breakfast was brilliant. The choice was excellent. It was tasty, hot, and plentiful. The staff at breakfast were friendly, helpful, and super organised

    The pool water was murky and the whole area smelt mouldy. Temporary ladies changing rooms were filthy. There were lockers with doors hanging off and dirty towels and paper tissues strewn over the floor. Very disappointing in a so called 'health club / spa area'.

    Friendly staff. Great location.

    It would have been nice to have had herbal tea bags in the room. Most hotels provide them these days.

    The hotel room and bathroom were impeccably clean, meeting my expectations. Every staff member I encountered exemplified excellence in service, readily assisting and addressing any questions I had. Their consistently positive attitude truly enhanced my stay, creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. It's often said that it's the people who make the difference in a customer's experience, and I must say, the staff at this hotel exceeded my expectations in that regard. It's been quite some time since I've encountered such genuinely friendly and accommodating individuals. The overall vibe I received from the staff left me with a strong impression that the hotel fosters a culture of warmth and hospitality, further enhancing the overall guest experience.

    The Leisure facilities seem to be undergoing a re-vamp. Half the changing rooms were sectioned off. There were no locks on the lockers, so I had to take my wallet and phone into the gym and swimming pool area. The Sauna was also out of action. Swimming pool was a decent size, but the amount of chlorine was immense! You couldn't put your head under, but then again the kids were who were taking lessons (no disruption) Gym is clearly going through an upgrade. Tired and broken machines, with patched up plaster on the wall

    The room was clean and the location for me was excellent. Right next to the Tube station. The breakfast was nice and plenty to choose from, albeit very busy, but plenty of tables available and I did not have to wait

    The gym, cardio equipments and the floors are very dirty, they only clean the floor and the spaces you see directly. The equipments are full of dirt and not checked for ages as it is my 6th time staying in this hotel. The personal trainers hired by some members are very loud and acting as if this is a private gym and it was annoying for the other clients of the hotel to workout. One member of the gym comes and turns the ventilator on during workout although the aircon is on. The room was extremely hot in May and we had to keep the windows open all day long. The breakfast is always the same and there are no healthy options to choose from.

    The location and we were upgraded to a bigger room at the 8th floor

    Negatives: For a 4 star hotel, both the sofa in the room and the carpet could do with a deep clean. The cleaning staff were also very noisy in the corridor on the first morning. The room is very small. No space for the suitcases. Conclusion: Despite the shortcomings, I would come back again.

    Positive:The close connection to the Tube station, the great breakfast selection and the friendly staff
