Fodor's Review:
This white-stucco, Victorian corner house just a two-minute walk from the V&A is a funny old place. With its abstract art pieces and black-and-white tiled floor, the lobby is unique, but the bedrooms are an unimpressive mélange of new and old furniture and colorful fabrics. The breakfast room, on the other hand, is old-fashioned and charming, with wrought-iron furniture and sunny yellow walls. Its creative look and unpredictable approach has been the subject of a novel (Hotel 167, by Jane Solomon) and a song by the rock band Manic Street Preachers, but it's quite expensive for what you get. Note: Street traffic on busy Brompton Road makes rooms on that side of the hotel quite noisy, so this place is not for light sleepers.
