 1st impressions count for a lot and the expense of a new entrance stair carpet would not be wasted While the Seraphine offers enough for a 1 night stay beyond a small breakfast room there are no facilities outside your room Had I not been traveling alone and on business these might have contributed to lower rating 
 Spacious clean and comfortable room real value for the price Location is superb Despite the name it is actually 50 yards from Kensington Park a little longer walk through Hyde Park to Oxford Street and buses into Trafalgar Square leave from across Kensington High Street Staff are extremely welcoming
