I ended up staying twice, the first for 2 weeks and the second for 3 weeks. I thought it was excellent. Firstly, I have to compliment all the staff I met. They were incredibly friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make you feel welcome. The gym is one of the best in any hotel I have stayed. It isn't huge but every piece of equipment has been carefully chosen and they have absolutely everything you need for a great workout. The sauna in the pool area is also fantastic. The rooms aren't huge but having a small kitchen in the room was brilliant. The rooftop common working area was also a lovely space to set up the laptop and get some work done. The immediate surrounding area is definitely "up and coming" and isn't that nice but it is only a 15 minute walk to the heart of Notting Hill. The hotel has only been open a couple of months and they inevitably had a few teething problems but I think this is an amazing addition to the Notting Hill area...and offers a wonderful option if you want to stay in that area....and enjoy the gym, sauna, and various regular events they host as well.
