The setting is definitely the main sell for this attractive West London hotel -- housed in an immaculate row of Victorian terrace townhouses overlooking a leafy square in serene Notting Hill. Access to central London is a breeze too, with two tube lines and Hyde Park within a 10-minute walk. Rooms are nicely finished, though don't expect a lot of room, especially in rooms located in the basement. Facilities are generally a bit lacking for this category, but rates are a pretty good value for the area.

Scene
Contemporary interiors behind an immaculately maintained Victorian townhouse exterior
The hotel is spread over three Victorian townhouses in an immaculately presented terrace typical of its affluent residential surrounds. Flawless cream facades combine with neo-classical columns, wrought iron railings, and manicured potted scrubs to create an air of ever-so-English urbane sophistication. Inside the atmosphere moves to polished contemporary -- striking striped wallpaper, ceiling spotlights, and a modern corner couch adorn a surprisingly spacious lobby area. Atmosphere is relaxed, serene, and personal, attracting families and tourists who want to avoid the bustle of central London and get the experience of a swanky stay on a beautiful Notting Hill street.
Location
Set in pretty and affluent Notting Hill, a five-minute walk from nearest tube
This Notting Hill hotel is located in the well-heeled and quiet residential area of Princes Square, a five-minute walk from Bayswater tube station and 10 minutes from the Notting Hill tube. It's an iconic and attractive area of West London, surrounded by pretty squares and full of restaurants and bars. Hyde Park is 10 minutes away on foot, while the nearby tube stops whisk you into central London in minutes.
Rooms
Plush, traditional rooms lack space but have flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi
Rooms have plush, traditional, and rather English decor with padded headboards and heavy patterned drapes. Typical of London there's not a lot of space, and single rooms are tiny, but all provide flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and hot drink facilities. Bathrooms are modern, but again small, and some are a little on the musty side. Room service is available, as are robes and slippers on request.
Features
Light on facilities besides breakfast service and fitness room
The hotel is a little light on facilities, though offers a modest breakfast each morning in its dining room as well as a small fitness area. A lounge is open to guests in Club rooms, with free drinks, newspapers, and access to a computer terminal. Wi-Fi is also available throughout.
