Princes Gardens Reviews

This accommodation is most suitable for people who are not fussy and just want a cheaper option in a good location. Overall, I was satisfied with the accommodation because the location was right near Hyde Park and the facilities met my basic needs. The facilities are a bit run down, but about what you expect for this type of budget stay as the ‘hotel’ is actually student accommodation being used when students aren’t there. These are the four main problems I experienced during my stay: CHECK-IN: I arrived at around 4:30pm to check-in and it was very busy, with a big queue. I recommend arriving earlier or later in the day to avoid peak check-in time. There was an issue with my room, so after being in the queue for about 20 minutes, I then had to wait 15 minutes to resolve it. However, the staff were nice and clearly doing their best, with a staff member coming to check the situation was resolved and apologize to me later on. CLEANLINESS: On arrival, I found there were food crumbs left on the desk and floor of the bathroom. The cleaner had left an open soap from the previous stay and not provided a new one. There was also lots of long hair that has been shedded in the sink and bathroom floor area. INTERNET: The internet didn’t really work and I had to use 4G throughout. If you need wifi for your stay it might not be a good option for you. LOCATION: It was an amazing location for getting to tourist sites and has a nearby metro. However, the area is in a bit of a food desert for cheaper options. If you are on a budget, you may not be able to find good budget restaurant options easily nearby.

Good location, good breakfast and good services. Clean and economical.

Part of the Imperial College Dorm buildings? Small but clean and well located

Very good experience at princes gardens

very good

The most cost-effective dormitory-style hotel near South Kensington and museums

It is a hotel converted from an IC dormitory. It has kitchen, washing machine and other facilities. The room is well-lit and spacious. It is not far from the subway station. The IC South Ken Campus is opposite.

The dormitory of Imperial College reminded me of my dormitory when I was studying abroad. I lived near Chelsea for four days before, and I liked this community very much, so I moved here nearby. As a result, I was addicted to it. I stayed here for five nights in three groups. It is close to V&A, Natural History Museum, Concert Theater, and Alliance Française. The subway is just a few steps away from the South Kensington two-line transfer station. The bus takes two steps to the Great British National Art Museum and other places. It is not scary when it gets dark. There is a park downstairs where you can do morning exercises. There are also many places to eat nearby, and you can choose your budget. There is a small balcony, but it cannot be opened for safety reasons, so the air circulation is also very good. For single people who have dormitory experience, it is completely OK. The price is about 1,000/night. Although it is a bit small, the desk is enough, the bathroom is private, it is very clean, safe, and the community and location are excellent. The staff I met are all good. Recommended for single women. If I come here by myself in the future, I will book here without even looking at it.

I was very satisfied with this stay. It is the first choice for business people. I only stayed for one day, but the room was very clean and the staff was very enthusiastic. I communicated with Cassie on WeChat in advance to help arrange the room. This experience was very good

The room is clean and tidy, the location is good and convenient

Overall it was okay, the front desk service was lackluster, the wifi connection was a bit troublesome, check-out before 10 o'clock was a bit early, and the elevator was broken during check-out

Located in the city center, the surrounding environment and transportation are very convenient, but after all, the student dormitory, facilities and services are not so ideal.
