“This family-run establishment, a refreshing change from corporate hotels, stands out with its proximity to both Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, perfect for tranquil escapes; inside, you'll find spacious areas and a unique, slow-paced lift that adds to the building's character. If you're seeking a pet-friendly stay with free parking in central London, this spot definitely merits consideration. In my opinion, it's a good choice if you value location and character over modern luxury.”
