The hotel offers a charming room with a bunk bed and a built-in ladder to the top bunk, along with a lovely little garden view perfect for enjoying your own breakfast. Despite the short-handed service at the reception desk, they eventually clarified that any hairs found were part of the bedding. The location is in a quiet neighborhood in Kensington, close to the tube station. The dining experience includes Neapolitan pizza, and the facilities are well-maintained.
