Average Hotel, adequate.
Hotel was adequate, room was in the basement, good size but showing signs of wear, and unpleasant odour in the basement area. The shower was great, but overall I wouldn't chose to return to this same hotel.

Property is quite worn down. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything from neighboring rooms and outside. Carpeted floors are also quite dirty. Aside from that, the staff were incredibly helpful and kind.

Gainsborough Hotel
Hotel situated near Natural History Museum, Science Museum and the V&A Museum. Outside, hotel impressive and reception area is really good. Service and attention to detail by the staff excellent. The double room was ok. Large enough for a short stay. The bed was comfortable but the decor was looking a little tired. The bathroom was small and smelled stale. Buffet breakfast is provided in their sister hotel across the street. Good choice of food and drinks.

Hotel was in a fantastic location - lots going on in surrounding area but the road the hotel was in was quiet and so we had a good night's sleep. All staff were lovely - kind - well mannered and keen to help even though we checked it in the early hours of the morning. The sister hotel was a bonus - good breakfasts in the morning and great cocktails early evening. We had a standard double and it had everything we needed - compact but perfect. We will definitely stay here again

Very convenient for the museums and university on Exhibition Road. Lots of good places to eat nearby also. Rooms are a little on the small side, though perfectly nice — but then you're staying in South Kensington, so maybe that's to be expected. Had an enjoyable stay.
