 The tube station which should have been the closest seems to not be in use So we got off at Earls Court but it is better to get off at High Street Kensington as its more straight forward I hoped for a better view from the room as it is in a nice part of London but instead we looked over the back of the hotel where the bins were and we couldn t open the window very much The room was fine it was clean but I felt needed a bit of something to brighten it up 
 The hotel room was ready when we arrived at 1pm which was a bonus We didn t pay for breakfast there as there was plenty of alternatives on the High Street and this made us get up and out to make the most of the day The bar area is very nice and it is handy that there is a costa coffee under the hotel Staff very friendly and pleasant Plenty of restaurants and bars a short walk away We went for the carnival so it was a good location for us
