AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

Princes Gardens is student accommodation within Imperial College rather than a traditional hotel, offering very basic rooms in an outstanding South Kensington location close to the museums, Hyde Park, and the Royal Albert Hall, suitable for budget-minded, low-frills stays.

The accommodations are basic as they are student hall but the location is fantastic and garden make it feel peaceful in such a busy location. Would highly recommend

I do not consider this facility is a hotel. To get to the front desk you have to walk outside (about 100 yard) to get some help. There is no telephone in the room to reach the front desk. Only good thing I experienced was the front desk staff, generally friendly and helpful. I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS IS A HOTEL.

Great stay. It's a lower price for people who are spending their day seeing the sites, and coming back to regroup and sleep. Only issue, which they do try and address: Shower sets off the fire alarm. Even if it's not your room. Went off 2 nights during my stay. Rooms clean. You can drop off your luggage before check-in, and you can check-in much later than 2pm (if you're out n about).
