Was mold in the shower, sanity towels in the bin from a previous guest I assume.
You have to book parking 7 days before visit! No information on that from hotels.com

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!

Gave me a key at reception. 10 minute walk to the room to find a woman in my bed. Had to walk back to be dealt with by a very rude receptionist.

This isn’t an hotel by my definition. Student accommodation that’s hired out to the public out of season
Small uncomfortable double bed.
Cord carpet floor tiles.
No as advertised

I wish it had been clear this is student accommodation, initially though I had been scammed as couldn’t find princes gardens. Only went into the uni halls because of the photo that I had to check.
The was a huge line to check in. Staff were very friendly.
The room was very very odd, bed in the middle of the room, w
Bathroom appeared to have been, except the floor which had multiple pubic hairs scattered around.

Good value summer accommodation in Imperial College student halls. Clean white bedding and towels. Very basic room, no tv or fridge. Carpeted floor. No air conditioning in a room. The room was really hot in the heat. Maybe better in spring or autumn. Bathroom is quite small and there is no hand shower. Convenient for Hyde Park, Museums and Royal Albert Hall . Secure. Useful small shop on site.

We arrived at the hotel to find the room door didn’t lock. After informing reception, they reset the system but the lock only worked intermittently. We were moved to another room and the staff kindly helped us to test the lock on the door to reassure us, which we appreciated. However, we discovered the flush didn’t work on the toilet but this was fixed within a few hours and staff were very helpful. The bathroom tap made a horrible screeching noise when used. No shower curtain was provided. The light in the ceiling persistently flashed when the lights were on. There was also no hot water to the shower when we tried to use it in the morning. Although staff were very good, the hotel did not appear as advertised and we would not consider it good value for money at £195 for the night.

Superb location, for Albert Hell, museums etc. Accommodation is a student hall (for Imperial College) out of term - therefore rather spartan (no TV) but perfectly functional, clean, and relatively cheap for this part of London. Useful bar and small shop on site.

Great basic accommodation, perfect location for hyde park. Very reeaonably priced compared to other hotels in the area. Student accommodation so nothing fancy but had what we needed for a one night stay. Mattress was very firm. Nice setting with garden area in the square, handy shop downstairs.

The staff was very helpful and the accommodations were hotel-like despite it being a residence hall. The fire alarms truly do go off a lot! At least 3 times during my 7 day stay.
