Staying in this hotel offers a unique experience as it is located inside Holland Park, although you have to walk a bit to reach your room through the park. The rooms, while cramped with multiple beds and limited bathroom facilities, offer a serene view of the park through a terrace and open door.

The hotel provided a basic yet clean and comfortable stay, ideal as a base for our adventures. The service was very friendly and accommodating, although handling large crowds could be challenging.

The hostel is located in a trendy suburb of Kensington, with a great location close to the main street and metro station. The rooms, although small and without wardrobes, were ready promptly even with short notice for booking. The staff, while helpful at times, also had some rude moments, and there were issues with directions to the room and guests waiting outside due to smoking. The dining options were varied and delicious, offering a good selection to start the day.

I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The rooms were clean, spacious, and had a balcony perfect for a dinner party. The upholstered furniture in the lounges and bar added a nice touch. Despite the rooms being a bit on the smaller side, it was manageable for a short stay. The service was a mix of friendly and helpful staff but with some knowledge gaps and previous mix-ups. The location, surrounded by the beautiful gardens of Holland Park and close to public transport, was fantastic. The dining experience was convenient and budget-friendly, with just a minor room for improvement. Overall, a great value for money stay with some minor hiccups here and there.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms were cozy and clean, though a bit noisy when a large group arrived late. The service was friendly, although there was a minor issue with having to deal with some mess left behind. The location was scenic and serene, nestled in a picturesque park in London. The dining options were basic but sufficient to start the day. Facilities were decent, and the value for money was reasonable.

The hostel is decent for a short stay. The rooms may feel crowded with multiple beds but are excellent for a family. The service is a bit inconsistent, with some staff being rude while others are friendly. The location, although not central, is nice being close to Holland Park with convenient access to transportation. The dining experience offers a good variety but might not suit everyone's taste. Overall, a fair value for money option despite some shortcomings.

The hotel offers a unique room setup where luggage management is efficiently done behind the reception desk, giving a sense of security. The view from the rooms is fantastic, allowing guests to appreciate their surroundings. Though the location is at the park entrance, making it easily accessible, some noise disturbance from fellow guests can be a downside. The dining options are fairly decent for the price, but the breakfast could be more varied.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a bit small with too many bunks for the size but were big and very clean, and I enjoyed having my own balcony overlooking Holland Park greenery. The service was better and friendlier than in other places, although I encountered some rudeness from the staff. The location was nice and quiet, close to parks and not a long commute to all the iconic London spots, but I wish it was open all night long. The dining was basic but sufficient to start the day. The facilities were adequate, and the price was reasonable for the value offered.

I found the location of the hotel really convenient as it's near Holland Park, Westfield Shepherd's Bush, and the Kensington area. The neighborhood felt safe and quiet, but being inside a large park made it a bit challenging to navigate at times. The hostel itself offers good value for money and is well taken care of compared to other places I've visited.
