Excellent location and I’m sure this hotel was very elegant at some point in time. However, the rooms are very dated and far from modern. They kind of smell old as well. The worst part is the noise, you hear EVERYTHING that happens in the room next door, in the hallway, above you and over you.

Lovely room in a historical building, rich with history. Location was great near the tube, across from Hyde Park, within walking distance to Kensington Palace and restaurants. The room was comfortable and quiet. We would stay again!
