Contemporary décor is well received
This hotel is housed in a Victorian building, and guests say that the owners have done a great job in renovating it to create a modern hotel environment. From the exposed brickwork through to the luxury fixtures and fittings, guests really do enjoy a comfortable stay.

Tasty food
The lunches and evening meals served in the pub downstairs get a thumbs up from guests. They enjoy the variety of freshly-cooked meals available on the menu, as well as the discount that is offered to guests who choose to eat in the pub.
positive:
Great location in a different part of London
It is fair to say that Kennington might not be top of the
list of places to stay for most visitors to London, but there is a lot to
recommend it as guests have found. Kennington is 50 minutes or less from both
Heathrow and Gatwick airports, while Oxford Street can be reached in around 20
minutes on the Tube.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No breakfast except on weekends
The breakfast served at this hotel is said to be really tasty, but the big downside is that it is served only on Saturday and Sunday. On the other days of the week, a porridge pot is left in the fridges in rooms. Many guests would prefer to have a cooked breakfast every day of the week.
negative:
Some rooms on the small side
There are some guests who have complained about the size of their rooms, with some saying that they have not even had enough space to put their luggage to one side.
negative:
No lift
This old building does not have a lift, meaning you will
have to carry your luggage up several narrow flights of stairs. If you have
mobility problems, you may well struggle to do this.
