This hotel has no A/C so the room can be brutal in the summer. The room itself was 35c+ making it very hard to sleep. There was only one small fan to help. I would go outside to cool down. This hotel is in good location so may be worthwhile outside of summer time, but would not advise booking in summer. The breakfast is basic but fine and the staff was very kind.

The hotel is in a great area. The staff is excellent. The rooms are very small without air conditioning. We were there during a heatwave and had to check out after 2 nights. It was very uncomfortable in the room. The bed wasn't comfortable, very hard. The bathroom is small with only a small shelf above the sink. There's no fridge. The price of the room is too much for what you get. We paid less for a much bigger room with a/c, fridge and more amenities in a good location. They should invest in some portable a/c units and a fridge.

Hotel staff friendly and helpful. Room size was good. They offer breakfast, which is nice. Convenient location, easy walk to food, shops, Underground station, and other nearby places. The only thing I didn’t like, was the room didn’t have A/C. It was very hot and stuffy. They do have standing fans in the room, and with the windows open, it cools off enough at night.

Great location for easy access to tube etc. Really clean and comfortable. Breakfast is fine if you like continental, good choice and nice fresh pastries etc. Very peculiar that you cannot get any normal terrestrial channels on tv. And the room is incredibly hot in summer and no air con. Acknowledge that there was a heat wave when we were there but because you can’t open the window wide, the heat was insane. Otherwise, lovely place to stay with very efficient and polite staff.

Great safe area for a solo traveler. The room was a great size. There was no AC but the weather was incredible so I just needed the fan. I loved the breakfast. Lots of options. You can easily stow your luggage until check in. You are right down the street from bayswater and Queensway underground. Super great area. Lots of restaurant options around. I really enjoyed my stay here.

Very convenient location a short walk to trains. The room was very small with no air conditioning and a small heater that did not ever go on. A desk fan was provided along with bath gel and shampoo. There was also a window that could be opened for fresh air. Staff was friendly.
