The bed was not great. The mattress proved quite uncomfortable, and the pillows were far too soft, offering no alternative options. i also thought the breakfast lacked variety and quality. It was not a particularly good start to the day with very few choices.

fantastic stay

convenient locationdaily cleaningcomfortable bedshower tap
the location worked well for my plans. i found the underground station close, and it made traveling easy. the room had daily cleaning, a coffee restock, and fresh towels provided every day (it was a welcome touch). the bed was comfortable, and the room size was adequate for my needs.
the shower tap was a bit tricky. i struggled to adjust the water temperature to a comfortable level, it took a little patience.

a perfect home base

tube linessafe neighborhoodwonderful locationearly cleaning service
we chose the apartment for its proximity to kensington palace gardens a stroll we took each morning the location was wonderful and the neighborhood felt safe even late at night the convenience to several tube lines made exploring effortless we found it easy to navigate the city from here.
the daily cleaning service was scheduled early sometimes before nine i prefer a slightly later cleaning time as we enjoyed slow mornings this disrupted our routine a bit since we were sometimes still in the room.
