    The bathroom in the room was tiny. The sliding door was cumbersome and noisy. Would be better with a sliding frosted door. The rooms lighting was poor, which was further enhanced by lack of natural daylight. The price of cocktails was on the pricey side

    The breakfast was brilliant. The choice was excellent. It was tasty, hot, and plentiful. The staff at breakfast were friendly, helpful, and super organised

    Excellent location, plenty of choice for breakfast. We didn't use any facilities or even the bar.m so can't comment. The bed was comfy especially after long days exploring. Staff were very attentive even with the amount of guests staying

    The pool water was murky and the whole area smelt mouldy. Temporary ladies changing rooms were filthy. There were lockers with doors hanging off and dirty towels and paper tissues strewn over the floor. Very disappointing in a so called 'health club / spa area'.

    Friendly staff. Great location.

    It would have been nice to have had herbal tea bags in the room. Most hotels provide them these days.

    The hotel room and bathroom were impeccably clean, meeting my expectations. Every staff member I encountered exemplified excellence in service, readily assisting and addressing any questions I had. Their consistently positive attitude truly enhanced my stay, creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. It's often said that it's the people who make the difference in a customer's experience, and I must say, the staff at this hotel exceeded my expectations in that regard. It's been quite some time since I've encountered such genuinely friendly and accommodating individuals. The overall vibe I received from the staff left me with a strong impression that the hotel fosters a culture of warmth and hospitality, further enhancing the overall guest experience.

    The Leisure facilities seem to be undergoing a re-vamp. Half the changing rooms were sectioned off. There were no locks on the lockers, so I had to take my wallet and phone into the gym and swimming pool area. The Sauna was also out of action. Swimming pool was a decent size, but the amount of chlorine was immense! You couldn't put your head under, but then again the kids were who were taking lessons (no disruption) Gym is clearly going through an upgrade. Tired and broken machines, with patched up plaster on the wall

    The room was clean and the location for me was excellent. Right next to the Tube station. The breakfast was nice and plenty to choose from, albeit very busy, but plenty of tables available and I did not have to wait

    The gym, cardio equipments and the floors are very dirty, they only clean the floor and the spaces you see directly. The equipments are full of dirt and not checked for ages as it is my 6th time staying in this hotel. The personal trainers hired by some members are very loud and acting as if this is a private gym and it was annoying for the other clients of the hotel to workout. One member of the gym comes and turns the ventilator on during workout although the aircon is on. The room was extremely hot in May and we had to keep the windows open all day long. The breakfast is always the same and there are no healthy options to choose from.

    The location and we were upgraded to a bigger room at the 8th floor

    Negatives: For a 4 star hotel, both the sofa in the room and the carpet could do with a deep clean. The cleaning staff were also very noisy in the corridor on the first morning. The room is very small. No space for the suitcases. Conclusion: Despite the shortcomings, I would come back again.

    Positive:The close connection to the Tube station, the great breakfast selection and the friendly staff

    It is absolutely absurd that you are not able to charge point IGH because it was a booking reservation. It needs to be written down that is not possible to add your member card. So bad!

    Upon arrival, the room air conditioning unit was broken, reported immediately , the room was subsequently very warm and stuffy. Whilst the client services provided a fan, they did not, as promised, update me as to when the maintenance team would come to repair it. They did not offer alternative room. They did not contact us at all to see how we were. Pillows were rock hard. Uncomfortable hot night , unable to rest adequately, ruined our London stopover.

    The staff were very good. The pool and spa were a good experience

    Our bathroom door didn’t shut - the handle & lock were broken, which should have been rectified before allowing guests to stay. We stayed one night in there and used our bag to prevent the door from opening. We were able to move to a much nicer room the following day.

    Perfect location for visiting Royal Albert Hall. Friendly staff Fabulous breakfast

    Room size was a little small (a sliding door on the bathroom is always a sign!) but comfortable nonetheless, for a one night stay. Think you would struggle in this room that I booked (standard king) for any more than a couple of nights.

    Excellent friendly check in and out, good late check out time too. Great location, a few mins walk from Kensington High Street tube.
