 It was an exceptionally hot weekend in the high 28 degrees The air con is really one of the radiator hybrid thing that is fitted under the window and as one knows that s good when it s emitting hot air rises but useless for cool air sinks In fact though set at 17 degrees the temperature never fell below the low 20s However it does serve as a fan function which is better than many non air conditioned accommodation in London The other problem was the threadbare really old and rough and tatty bathrobe For me if there is a bathrobe there needs to be slippers even disposable ones but there aren t And the condition of the bathrobe makes it very uncomfortable and abrasive to wear after a shower on your naked skin I would recommend either replacing or eliminating it The last issue I had was with the bed and I rarely criticise bedding as I am quite a versatile sleeper Perhaps it s because it is a single bed for a single room so it has been easily misshapen by all the frequent uses Basically it is a very soft bed that is very lightweight heavier better quality mattresses will hold its shape and position better placed against the wall This means that guests especially if they are more than average build will find themselves naturally leaning towards the right outer edge away from the wall Thus the mattress is slanted and when I lay my size 14 5ft 8 inches body on it to sleep I found myself having to stop myself from falling off the bed a few times Rather disconcerting For those travelling with a car like in most parts of London parking is very limited if any expensive and restrictive 
 A good lift that serves all floor The room is very clean there is a fridge safe coffee tea making area with kettle hairdryer cable tv and amenities like shoe polishing mitt white company complimentary shower hair wash shower cap and sewing kit I like the strong shower pressure and despite being a single room the shower is a good size The soundproofing of the room is quite good in comparison to some other hotels in the sense that you can only hear the immediate person next to you but in a muffled way The front reception still manages to always smile and greet when I walk by despite sweltering in the heat without relief The room service staff I ran into on my way out the first day was really friendly and turned out my room really nicely when I returned Wifi signal was medium to strong and I had no problems connecting my phone and laptop The signal does however mysteriously drop disappear between midnight to 1am Accessibility is good if you are keen on being in the Kensington area It is a quick walk to Earl s Court station The 10 minutes walk is full of restaurants e g Lebanese fast food joints e g Mac cafes and supermarkets Sainsbury Co op so you can pick up any necessity on the way out or in The station has lifts so it is handy if you have heavy suitcases like me or if you have kids or walking difficulties
