My father was a chef so I'm definitely a foodie and this was done to perfection! The drink was also beautiful. trying to decide whether to end on dessert but I'm afraid to be disappointed after what I've enjoyed so far! Update! I have been back twice now! Second time I had the Miso Cod which was VERY GOOD! Tonight I tried the sautéed mushroom which are divine! The salmon was not so great tonight which was a bummer but you cannot be perfect all the time! Also: tonight I sat in the restaurant but I much prefer the atmosphere of the lounge and bar

As a first time visitor to London this accommodation made our a little over a week comfortable, relaxing and just a fulfilling and overall positive stay in London, thank you Aster House staff.

My 3 adult children refuse to stay anywhere else. It is precious.

Black mold everywhere! Absolute worst hotel we have ever stayed in. A danger to your health staying…read morehere! When checking in, we were told we were upgraded. What a joke! I noticed reviews here saying to avoid the basement so when I heard Room 602, I thought "oh good, the 6th floor". Wrong! Rooms starting with "6" are all in the basement. Immediately upon entering the room, the most damp, rotten, and moist smell. Being in the basement, you can't open the single small window. We thought it was coming from the AC so we turned it off and heading out to sight see on our last day in the city. When we came back at around 10pm, the smell was even worse. We narrowed down the smell to originating from the bathroom. I thought it was coming from the drain but soon realized there was black mold growing on the tile grout, the wood on the door, and even the shelves on the wall. How can room service or management not see this? The bathroom fan was broken and probably has not been working in months, which is why so much mold has grown from the shower moisture. These rooms are never properly cleaned and it's shameful they've been neglected this long. It honestly smelled like a house which has been flooded with sewer water. The moldy smell gave us headaches and coughs. Now past 10PM, it wasn't worth us arguing to get another room so we decided we'd just check out at 5AM and just head to the airport early. The room itself was not great either. The bed was rock hard and the security safe did not work. Carpets were stained and artwork/mirrors had layers of dust on them. When checking out, we told the guy at the front desk how atrocious and unsafe the room was with the black mold and smell. He just said he would let management know. That's it! There wasn't a sincere apology or even an offer for partial reimbursement. I doubt him or management will do anything as there are many review with similar experiences here that I wish I had seen prior. He informed us our receipt would be emailed and didn't even say have a good day or anything. Sad! It's now, 2 days since checking out and I noticed 2 charges on my credit card statement from Hotel Indigo as if I stayed 2 nights there. I had to contact them to send my receipt again and finally received it. Now I'm waiting to get this second charge removed and getting over a cough from staying in the room. Do yourself a favor and do not stay here! For over $300 a night, there are many better options in London. Your health matters and this place should be shut down. Do not fall for the "you've been upgraded" junk. I look forward to hearing their canned response to my review here.

Big negative and one star review for lack of Air Conditioning. My room was 25°C the entire stay. Outside was identical temperature, so zero reprieve from the heat. They said my room faces the sun, and air is controlled centrally, so nothing they could do. I opened the windows in the evening, however, the cars racing down the High Street, made sleeping impossible until after 0130 in the morning. I averaged about four hours sleep per night, absolutely ruined my trip. Would not recommend this property.

Arrived to the hotel, it is not as stated on the booking.com site, it is much further from the…read moreGloucester Rd station. The first impression of this 4 star hotel is shabby and unkempt. The room I was given was half renovated, with a loud noise from the road, no insulation, hard to think anyone could relax or sleep with such a racket. A cheap paint job on the cheap wooden furniture, shoddily done, worn carpets and a cheap fixtures from Ikea. The lift ride to complain is clunky and again, in need of a renovation. The owner told me this was the only room available and that it was a busy road. I asked him how a 260GBP per night (discounted from 380GBP) room had no insulation and he simply shrugged his shoulders. Amazing! I went back upstairs, grabbed my bags and told the manager that the room was not as advertised and that I would not stay in the hotel. He told me that no one has ever complained to him about his rooms, which I told him was an obvious lie, as anyone with eyeballs could see the shabby nature of the place. Hotel refuses to refund and I simply rebooked another hotel. I travel to London several times per year from Australia and know what quality costs, this hotel is not up to standard, nor obviously has the owner seen Fawlty Towers.

The room was a good size, clean, and had a king bed -- a nice touch since that's what we're used to in the US. I will say the pillows were a bit flat and the beds weren't super soft or plush, but overall it was cozy and comfortable. The hotel itself is beautiful and literally steps from the Underground, making it very easy to get around the city. Overall, I would definitely stay here again -- a great mix of comfort, convenience, and charm!

A big plus is the location in…read moreSouth Kensington (across from the Gloucester Road tube stop) with nearby stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and supermarkets (Waitrose market is just inside the Gloucester Arcade next to the tube stop). It's also a 10-minute walk to the Victoria & Albert Museum and about a 15 minute walk to Kensington Gardens (a lovely public park). Lots of pluses. 1. First, it's a historic, elegant Victorian hotel built in the 1870s and restored in the 1990s. The nicest part of the hotel is the grand interior staircase. One plus is that an elevator (lift) is available if you're staying on the upper floors. 2. The rooms are clean and tastefully decorated with a small desk. However, the classic double room is quite small. I stayed in Room 137 (overlooking the tube station) and it felt like a studio apartment in New York City). If you don't mind cozy spaces, this is a good option for a short stay. 3. You have a simple temperature control gauge in your room next to the front door. If it's a hot summer day, be sure to turn up the A/C. In London, I noticed folks tend not to use A/C as much as in the United States. There were a few minuses as well. Given the small-sized interior rooms and bathroom (well-designed but tiny), I don't think it's great for families (with kids) or large groups. Also, at check-in, the hotel staff could be clear about the 50 pound deposit for incidentals, and explain that you need to put your key in the slot near your hotel room door to activate all the lights.

It's not perfect like any hotel but overall a wonderful little place to stay. Momma and I started staying at small boutique hotels like this a couple of decades ago because we really liked the unique atmospheres and the fact they almost always have a decent restaurant and bar in house. The Exhibitionist has not disappointed us. Eclectic, quirky decor really make it a unique experience. The real icing on the cake for this class of hotels has always been the staff and all the culture that London has to offer. I want to offer up a special shout out to Elena, Bushra and Chermie that went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and bent over backwards to assure we had a great experience. Hoping to get back to the UK next year and it's a good bet we'll be staying at the Exhibitionist. Go Stay Enjoy

Pleased as punch. I…read morehad the great fortune to stay here during my short stay in London this spring. As a sometimes lone traveler, a hotel made sense for safety, but I was surprised and pleased with this small boutique hotel. Rooms are gonna be tiny in London for the $$, so plan accordingly. I stayed in a Classic King room which was comfy but had very little space to circulate. I was concerned being on a busy street/Cromwell, but because of the *double windows* (interior ones opens up/down), it was joyfully quiet, just a whisper of car noise. It's something I wish more places in the US had, especially when you face noisy streets. I realize second windows are usually for the cold, but street noises can be pervasive and affect every day life. I slept very well, every night. A couple of stand out staff members: -the front desk manager on my arrival had some hot early gray tea delivered since I survived a 10+ hour trip (little sleep), so it was a nice way to wake up. Also, some biscuits were delivered later. -staff member who brought up my suitcase, my tea, and helped get a requested small refrigerator into my room. -two front desk people (woman then a man), helped me figure out how to get from the hotel to Paddington for a early morning flight. The gentleman called to request a black cab since the Tube wasn't open and he went out with me to greet the cab driver and help me with my bag. -Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The location was also good. I didn't want to be in the thick of tourists, so staying in South Kensington worked for me. The tube stations (Earl's Court and Gloucester Road stations) were about 8-10 minute walk). Thank you for making my stay in London comfortable and enjoyable.
