Clean room, excellent bathroom in my room that was upgraded. Smaller rooms had less space in the bathroom but ok for brief stays.

This is a solid 4-star hotel, and if it were positioned as such, the experience would be perfectly justified. However, it is definitely not a luxury 5-star boutique hotel.
There is no doorman at night, no bar, and bottles of wine are left near the reception with a notebook where guests are expected to write down their room number and how many glasses they take—which feels quite awkward and not at all luxurious.
On top of that, the cleaning staff was vacuuming the reception area during the day, with the noise constantly disrupting the atmosphere.
Overall, this hotel does not meet the standards or service level expected from a true luxury property

It was extremely enjoyable, but your question about free breakfast has thrown me as we paid both mornings, can someone feedback on that.

Attention to detail. Modern amenities, centrally located. Wonderful food and excellent staff. Will come back!

Very clean and well equipped room with lovely bathroom and shower. The rooms are snug with a comfortable bed.

One of the best repurposing of an older building I’ve seen . Super clean and comfortable as well as very quiet . Staff takes great care of this hotel and are quick to help guests . Beds and linens are the best . The location ( near the British Museum ) is excellent and feels like a neighborhood with great restaurants and many cuisines . Planning on staying here again in just a few weeks. Easy walk to subway .

Great location, walking distance to South Kensington underground and near shops, museums and restaurants. Staff very friendly

Great hotel in South Kensington. Quiet area but plenty to do and near museums. Staff were great and helpful. Underground station is 2 minutes away with great lines to the rest of the city. Will definitely stay here on return.

Good location for this little gem on the Piccadilly Line. Busy area but the hotel was quiet. Our room was very small but nice & the staff was lovely. Nice sized bathroom. Children seemed to be enjoying the science tea with dry ice! I can’t recommend the dining room since we only had snacks that weren’t very good but the cocktails hit the spot.

Very nice staff and great food! I can with my son in a pram and they did the outmost to accommodate us. 5 stars definitly deserved and the food is very good, authentic and well priced for the quality you get.

Amazing food! Very tasty and authentic. Staff did struggle to keep up with the busy restaurant but the quality of food more than made up for it. Highly recommend the pizza and definitely have a look at the desserts!
27.11.2017
Great food. The staff was hospitable and friendly. Best pizza dough I’ve had in a long time.
26.11.2017
Pizza are good but the staff who served us was slow, not welcoming and dismissive... we had to beg to get water, the dessert menu and the bill... They need to be far more caring and professionals.

Super yummy gnocchi and a dish with salmon and pasta!!! Omg delicious! Very peaceful ambiance and surroundings help or feel that way
Restaurant «Casa Brindisa South Kensington» (2 min)
7-9 Exhibition Rd, Kensington, London SW7 2HE
Reviews19.01.2018
Very busy restaurant with most tables appear to be occupied. Tapas served to table as and when ready. Food looked and tasted good. Waiting staff are kept on their feet and seem very keen to get orders quickly and happy to answer questions. Empty dishes were removed often so waiting staff were being observant and attentive. Worth a visit.

We stumbled across this place looking for a quick lunch after spending the morning at the museum. It was a really nice refreshing restuarant, with a great buzz. The tapas was amazing and the beer on tap was the perfect pairing for the food.
It's a little pricey but its a nice little treat, or a great place with a group of friends. Will definitly go back.
Only downside was the service was a little slow but if your not watching the clock, you might as well enjoy tapas the way its meant to be!

Casa Brindisa South Kensington is the second location of the traditional Spanish restaurant chain, located meters from South Kensington underground station on Exhibition Road. Tapas are the main dish, with plates such as cod, Catalan spinach, marmitako, chorizo a la sidra, and tortilla alongside daily specials and seasonal specials. The interior of the restaurant is rustic and laid out in a traditional order, offering twelve outside tables. Having visited on a Saturday evening the place was buzzing. The service was very good and attentive. The food was to standard although there octopus was fresh and served on a bed of mash potatoes. Recommended for those seeking a tasty bite around South Kensington. However there are better Spanish restaurants in London.

Fabulous restaurant for tapas and Spanish cuisine. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for! Lovely staff
15.12.2017
One of the best. Unpretentious. Just a shame that a little overpriced. A set menu would turn this place into dynamite because they know how to cook, well.

Reviews04.12.2017
Had a delicious slow-roasted lamb shoulder dish with root vegetables. Very tender and flavorful. The restaurant has a tastefully rustic decor, which was enhanced by complementary Christmas decorations during my visit in December. Enjoyable visit.

Food was really good here and staff were more than friendly and accommodating. Disable bathroom and baby change facilities available, as is sheltered outdoor seating on astroturf.
17.11.2017
Plesent place for a small group after work. Food was good, and the waitress was welcoming. The food was above average, and what I would expect in the Kensington area.
31.10.2017
We waited an incredibly long time for food (over an hour between ordering and receiving food), and when it arrived, we were told they didn't have one of the meals we had ordered, so they replaced it without asking us for a preference. The replacement was not pleasant, overcooked and dry - definitely not freshly cooked. The one meal that we had ordered was really good though.
Service was very disjointed - the person who brought our food didn't seem to know that what he brought was different to what we ordered, then the next few people who came to the table all had a different story about what had happened... We just wanted a nice roast lunch - it was 17:30 by the time we got out!
