 The walls between some rooms are not very sound proof but not dramatically so The nearest Tube station is a ten to fifteen minutes walk away which might be a problem with heavy luggage 
 The hotel has an unbeatable location if you have a concert in the Royal Albert Hall to attend or just wish to explore South Kensington and Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens It is clean and comfortable and a very pretty old building of course refurbished and modernised
