“The hotel, though perhaps not the most modern, stands a short walk from the West Kensington Tube station and provides convenient access to Olympia Exhibition Centre; the quiet location is a definite advantage, especially considering its proximity to major transport links. I noted its historical architecture, complete with an arched glass ceiling from 1885, a unique feature worth appreciating. It's a practical base for exploring London.”
