The property was central to where I needed to be. I do not like staying at chains and love to experience quaint and local places. The room was clean and the shower was amazing with a rain water head (once I figured out the hot/cold). Breakfast was enough everyday to get me going. The staff was beyond professional you would have thought it was a 5 star resort. I would like them to know I made it to Heathrow on the train. If I have to come back I would definitely book this location again!!!

The Gainsborough is located down the street from the Natural History Museum and very close to tube stations and restaurants. The staff was helpful and breakfast was quite good.

This hotel is very convenient for South Kensington Underground station and for the Museums on Exhibition road. It is also reasonably priced for the fashionable area it is in. However it is somewhat noisy at nighttime certainly for the rooms facing the street. The single room I booked was small but adequate. There was no safety deposit box and no fridge in the room.

The hotel was great for a short stay, I was in a solo travel room long term it would not have been a great option. The accomodations are good, but the bathroom specifically the shower is very small. You could just turn around but moving your arms was a challenge and the shower head just fit inside the shower so you were constantly under water unless you opened the door and stepped out or turned off the shower head to wash your hair/body. It was maybe 2.5 foot both ways. Short stay it’s good long term not.
