The location was fantastic for seeing a concert in the Royal Albert Hall. The staff are very friendly and having a shop on the campus was very helpful. The room is basic but perfectly suitable as somewhere safe and comfortable to sleep and get ready. It is student accommodation majority of the year so it will have scuffs and scratches and won’t be spotlessly clean. But if you need somewhere comfortable to sleep and get ready before heading out, then I’d very much recommend it.

I booked this thinking it was a hotel. What it actually is is student accommodation. The rooms are beyond basic, no T.V no fridge, hairdryer etc. Very uncomfortable small bed . It is however situated in a first class position for all that South Kensington offers, close to tube and museums and plenty of places to eat and drink

Note, this is a college dormitory at Imperial College in London. They rent rooms when classes are not in session or during off periods. However, there will be students there. The room is not much, no A/C, tiny bathroom. However, you can walk to great pubs, the Natural History Museum, and South Kensington Station.

It’s a repurposed college dorm. It has its own private bathroom which is great but the wear and tear is visible and other students do live on campus as well.

A stay that suits all basic needs

The room was ideal for my needs as I stayed two nights near Hyde Park. The only service I received (as I did not pay for breakfast while staying) was upon arrival to acquire my room key (electronic keycard). The woman behind the counter was very polite explaining where I was situated for my stay and gave me a small map to assist me. The room itself is very basic. One bed, bathroom with a toilet, sink and standing shower. Hand soap, shower gel, shampoo and two towels (hand towel and bath towel) all supplied. I also had a kettle with tea and coffee sachets plus all the usual extras. There was also a fan in the room, possibly due to the heatwave we were experiencing at the time, which was appreciated. No TV so bring your own entertainment as the building has free Wi-Fi. The room was in perfect condition. Everything looked clean and felt new. The room I stayed in was on the third floor and faced the park of the establishment. This meant for the most part noise levels were very low and I couldn't hear traffic. Occasionally there was some noise from residents of nearby housing but this wouldn't have been an issue most of the year as I only hear them due to keeping a window open for ventilation because of the heat. Location has plenty of activities to do near by such as the Natural History and Science Museums. Hyde Park is 5 minutes away. It is also very close to one of South Kensington Station's exits so the London Underground can take you anywhere further you need to do.
