The beds was comfortable and the wifi strong but the bathroom was stuck in the 80's with cold water tabs which didn't work. If they put some efforts in improving the bathrooms, it would mke for a comfortable stay (even though the rooms are quite small). Perfect location for Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park.
