delicious breakfastgreat locationhot roomuncomfortable sleep
The breakfast was AMAZING!!! It was included, and the waitress was superb. The location was great. It was not far from Kensal Green station.
The room got very hot, and I couldn't sleep the whole night. I also didn't feel comfortable sleeping with the window opened, as it overlooked the pub garden and a staircase.

The staff were lovely and the breakfast was good.
My room felt quite outdated. I found mold in the bathroom around the shower. The carpet in the room seemed old and not very clean, which bothered me.

The breakfast included fresh, high-quality ingredients. it was good. the staff was very friendly, always ready to assist with a smile. the location was convenient with easy access to transportation. The bus stop was just outside.
My room felt a bit outdated. the small sink in the bathroom made it difficult to use. the parking situation was problematic. Street parking was mostly reserved for residents, and i could not secure any spot.
