A new, well appointed boutique hotel in Kensington. Everything is in very good condition. The rooms are compact but very comfortable and quite well appointed. Friendly and helpful staff. Basic bar and restaurant if needed. I'd happily stay again next time I need a hotel in this area.

The room was excellent, clean and beautiful. Large and modern elevators makes transporting upstairs easy. Has a very nice and spacious ADA or disability room. Very good location, 5 min to tube and safe to walk around late at night. Several restaurants and shops makes every accessible. We didn’t get a chance to utilize the bar or restaurant but staff was very welcoming and friendly.
