    The windows. If you have the bed next to the window, as in my case, in winter is really cold even if they have the heating on.

    Well situated, nice and clean.

    We would have given this hotel full marks were it not for the following: 1. Minor nitpick: the safe. We wanted to use the safe that was in our room so I decided to test it out by first putting an expired plane ticket inside. The safe would not open at all after we locked it. Melissa assured us that she could open it for us but she was not able to do so electronically. She said that she could open it via a key but as we were already departing in a few hours on our last day in the hotel, we opted to just leave the ticket inside the safe. 2. Major complaint: the absence of hot water in the shower. For context, the check-out time of the hotel is at 11 AM. As such, we made sure to prep at 9:30 AM on our last day so that we would have ample time to pack our stuff and take nice, warm baths. Except that the hotel decided to maintain their boiler at the same time that we were about to take a bath so the water that came out of the shower was hellishly cold! They said that the water should warm up in 30 minutes but in reality, it warmed up only 1 hour after the boiler was maintained! Why the hotel decided to do the boiler maintenance at such a time when many of their departing guests would most likely take baths is beyond puzzling. In the end, we begrudgingly took ice cold showers.

    1. The staff were very friendly and attentive especially Melissa at the reception. Her professionalism is easily one of the best things about our stay in 1 Craven Hill Gardens. 2. The hotel's location is great. It is situated close to 2 underground stations (i.e. Queensway and Bayswater) which makes it easy to get around the city and its various sights and offerings. 3. The check-in and check-out procedures were fuss-free.

    It was very quiet in our room. The area was great for cafes and interesting restaurants. Good for bus routes in to museums and art galleries. The staff were helpful. The room was small but had everything we needed. We didn't find the sitting room until we checked out. It seemed like a nice place to chat to friends. Everything was very clean, and well mentained. We'll come again!

    The extractor fan above the hot plate didn’t seem to turn on and we could’ve done with some non slip mats in shower.

    I think you better charge extra euros and add a small bottle of dishwashing liquid, and add some tea. Usually people don't have chance to take these first needed things with them directly from flights :)

    The location is great. The manager was very attentive to us, everything I expected to get from this cute hotel - I got. Was surprised with the hidden fully functional kitchen in the room.

    The light in the toilet was broken. It kept blinking. There was no kithcen soap and sponge to clean the dishes. The reception desk is opened only during the specific time. And on the Christmas eve, the staff was gone before the informed time, so I couldn't ask the staff for what I need.

    The room was really spacious. There was kitchen so that we could cook during Christmas time that many restaurants are closed. The staff was friendly. The location is right near the Hyde park.

    There was building work going on right outside the hotel which woke us up at 8am, we had hoped for a relaxing morning before catching our midday train, unfortunately the hotel had not made us aware of this prior to booking. Had we known we would not have chosen to stay there as other hotels were available at the same price. If you are planning on staying in the next few months I would recommend checking with the hotel prior to booking.

    Nice clean modern room, big shower, adjustable heating, lady on reception very friendly. Close to Underground & Paddington Rail Station. 5 min walk to Kensington Gardens.
