I had a good stay at Roland House, appreciating its location and cleanliness, but there were a few drawbacks. The kitchen was quite basic, and I encountered issues with the room key not working. Overall, it served as a decent base for exploring London, but some updates are needed.
Rooms

My room was clean and tidy, but it could use a revamp as the paint looked shabby in some areas. The shower had good water pressure, and I enjoyed having a comfortable bed and sofa, though I felt the room was a bit dark in the evenings.
Service

The staff were friendly and helpful, addressing my needs promptly, especially when I needed linen for the sofa bed. However, the room key failed on multiple occasions, which was frustrating.

The location was absolutely great, just a 5-minute walk from South Kensington tube station. There were numerous shops, restaurants, and bakeries around, making it a great spot for tourists.

The kitchen was basic and lacked utensils for cooking more than simple meals, such as tea and sandwiches. I ended up just having breakfast there, which was fine.

Facilities included secure bag storage, which was convenient for my later flight. However, more kitchen utensils would have improved my stay.

My stay at Roland House was a mixed bag. While the location in South Kensington was fantastic and I appreciated the kitchenette for preparing meals, the room itself was quite outdated and in need of modernisation. The service varied—some staff were friendly and helpful, while others were a bit defensive. Overall, while I enjoyed some aspects of my stay, I wouldn't rush back until improvements are made.

My stay at Roland House was quite the mix. While the location was superb and the facilities offered by the hotel were decent, my experience was marred by some serious safety concerns. The absence of a first aid kit and the condition of some amenities left much to be desired.

My stay at Roland House in South Kensington was largely pleasant, although I did encounter a significant issue with the heat during a recent heatwave. The location is fantastic and the facilities, including a kitchenette in the room, were a great convenience. However, the lack of adequate AC made my experience a bit uncomfortable at times, especially upon arrival.

I had a pleasant stay at Roland House, thanks to its fantastic location and friendly staff. The apartment was spacious and generally clean, but it did need a bit of upkeep, especially the kitchen and some areas of the room. While I appreciate the convenient amenities, a few minor issues, like missing linens for the sofa bed, did arise.
