“The location certainly recommends this property, placing guests within a short walk of the Natural History Museum and Gloucester Road Tube Station. While some aspects require updating, the building is Grade II listed, blending historical charm with contemporary needs, particularly for business travellers needing meeting facilities. I think the best feature is the focus on locally sourced, seasonal produce for dining.”

the location is great with nearby tube access and a short walk to the albert hall. the staff were friendly and helpful with any requests i had. i also appreciated the cleanliness of the room (which is always a good thing!).
my room was quite a distance from the lift. it made accessing my room with luggage a bit inconvenient. i wish there were rooms closer to the lift (maybe next time i will ask!).

fantastic stay!
great service many choices convenient location fresh ingredients
The staff provided great service throughout my visit! the breakfast included many choices and fresh ingredients. i particularly enjoyed the linguine pasta at the restaurant. It was delicious, especially paired with malbec. the location is very convenient, right next to gloucester road tube station, so i could travel easily.
the nespresso station only included a few coffee pods, somewhat limiting.

The hotel benefits from proximity to gloucester road underground station. It offers easy access to various parts of the city. several restaurants surround the area, and a tesco express is less than five minutes away, so guests can find necessities easily.

the location was definitely a highlight. it was very close to the tube station (i think it was a short walk!) and some interesting museums. the staff were friendly and helpful, particularly during breakfast.
the room i had felt a bit dated. i noticed some wear and tear on the carpet and paint (it seemed like it could use a refresh). also, i found the bathroom to be quite small, a little inconvenient.

i was charmed by the excellent location. the tube station nearby made getting around simple. i also appreciated the many lovely bars and restaurants within walking distance.
I booked two rooms months in advance. i wrongly assumed they would be near each other. one was on the ground floor and the other on the third. No attempt was made to change this.
