10/10 Excellent

Wonderful student accommodation in the heart of London. Fabulous staff. Really recommend this summer accomodation option for those whose budget isn't huge, but want somewhere safe, affordable, and friendly.
Julie, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Great budget accommodation for this location. Friendly service and bag storage at reception. The trade offs are no AC and poor wifi in the room (but fine outside).
Daniel, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Very convenient position for my purpose
Victor, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

I enjoyed the peaceful, green surroundings. The staff is friendly and welcoming. One thing I found disappointing was that the double bed was only 120 centimeters wide. Much too narrow for two people.
Matthijs, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Good location but no aircon
Nicolai, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent experience staff helpful and amenities adequate. Only one issue the shower drain partially blocked so a long shower was not on the cards☹️ But don’t let it put you off all good really 😉👍
Ian, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

No Tv in the room. Bathroom a bit on the small side. Otherwise it's a great place to stay.
anne, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

very good
kaoru, 18-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location and very good value. Check in was a bit of nightmare - very disorganised and long queues - but the staff were lovely. The room was basic, but clean and had everything we needed. It was very hot in the room and the fan provided was noisy, but London was basking in a heatwave so to be expected.
Linda, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The bed was way too small for two and jammed up against a wall difficult to access and not a goodnights sleep but very close to Albert Hall . but everything else was lovely
Jackie, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It’s a repurposed college dorm. It has its own private bathroom which is great but the wear and tear is visible and other students do live on campus as well.
Valerie, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good value summer accommodation in Imperial College student halls. Convenient for Knightsbridge, Hyde Park, Museums and restaurants. Clean white bedding and towels. Secure. Very basic room, no tv or fridge. Good for an overnight stay.
Tracey, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed at Prince’s Gardens during our trip to London for the BST Hyde Park Festival on July 2025, and it was a fantastic experience. The location was perfect—right in South Kensington and just a short walk to Hyde Park, museums, and the Tube. The room was clean, simple, and perfect for a summer stay. What really stood out was the staff—especially Talha at the front desk, who was incredibly helpful and friendly. He made check-in smooth and gave us great tips on navigating the area. Highly recommend for anyone visiting London in the summer. Great value, safe area, and an unbeatable location.
raymond, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The location was fantastic for seeing a concert in the Royal Albert Hall. The staff are very friendly and having a shop on the campus was very helpful. The room is basic but perfectly suitable as somewhere safe and comfortable to sleep and get ready. It is student accommodation majority of the year so it will have scuffs and scratches and won’t be spotlessly clean. But if you need somewhere comfortable to sleep and get ready before heading out, then I’d very much recommend it.
Avril, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Appalling standard, unventilated, no double bed, only a single bed pushed up against the wall, grungy and damaged surfaces with poor finish - inhabitable
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

No breakfast no television
Harald, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I booked this thinking it was a hotel. What it actually is is student accommodation. The rooms are beyond basic, no T.V no fridge, hairdryer etc. Very uncomfortable small bed . It is however situated in a first class position for all that South Kensington offers, close to tube and museums and plenty of places to eat and drink
