10/10 Exceptional

A great location at a great price

A great place to stay for the money as well as being only minutes walking distance from the major museums as well as The Royal Albert Hall. Spacious rooms and helpful staff. I would be happy to stay there again.

Tom, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent Value

Perfect for a trip to the Proms. We weren’t in the room much as we were off exploring and as such, it had everything we really needed. It was very clean and the staff were great.
Luis Ernesto, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were very conveniently placed for our visit to the Royal Albert Hall. It was a bit of a walk from S Kensington Tube Station,as we are in our 80's It was a very good price for central London accommodation.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

So close to the Albert Hall

I have stayed at Princes Gardens several times when attending the BBC PROMS at The Albert Hall. It is only a step or two away and the little park it overlooks makes for a pleasant place to sit if you have time
Rosemary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value.

Good 'wholesome' accommodation at - for London - a reasonable price. Clean room. Shower with non-slip floor was a real bonus. Breakfast was a but of a trek from the room (5 min walk in a different building). Very good location for Albert Hall and the museums at South Kensington.

Okay stay

Pros - good location, very clean and modern Cons - room very basic, no amenities, bed uncomfortable. Expensive for student halls of residence.
John, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

No phone signal....

Surprisingly good quality linen and towels and a great location. HOWEVER the WiFi took 25 minutes to connect and there was no phone signal in the room!
John, 1-night trip

Next to V &A, Science Museum, natural history Museum. Tube station, restaurants nearby. Hyde park for walking.

Well located student digs

Stayed for 1 night after going to BST Hyde Park. Location was ideal, quiet square and close to Hyde Park. Room was very basic. Student digs. Breakfast was located 5 mins walk from room and had a good choice.

Excellent experience staff helpful and amenities adequate. Only one issue the shower drain partially blocked so a long shower was not on the cards☹️ But don’t let it put you off all good really 😉👍

Wifi poor and kept disconnecting Bathroom not clean Bed not comfortable Shower poor
Sammy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location and very good value. Check in was a bit of nightmare - very disorganised and long queues - but the staff were lovely. The room was basic, but clean and had everything we needed. It was very hot in the room and the fan provided was noisy, but London was basking in a heatwave so to be expected.
Linda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was good apart from the room smell

6/10 Good

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.
Valerie, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is not a hotel

This is NOT a hotel, it is student accomodation rented out. This is not made clear at all. The rooms are tiny, beds are uncomfortable and being woken up at 05:00 for a fire alram was just the final straw in a terrible experience.
Andrew, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Booked for the pool and was told it was extra. Extremely rude staff
Edwards, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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
Darren, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Appalling standard, unventilated, no double bed, only a single bed pushed up against the wall, grungy and damaged surfaces with poor finish - inhabitable
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

It’s a collage dorm. Rooms don’t have AC.
Barkev, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not a hotel

This is uni accommodation. I booked this as it was advertised as a hotel. When we arrived we were shocked that it was uni accommodation and this is not made known on the listing. No amenities - not even a hair dryer or mini fridge to store food/drinks?? How they can charge over £150 a night is beyond me. This is not a hotel!
