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

This is a summer lodging of the college, meant for students but renting out to guests of all ages 18+. Excellent location to go around the city or stroll to many of nearby parks. Perfect for a solo traveler with tight budget.

This is not a hotel, this is university halls disguised as a hotel in the off season. I feel like I was scammed into booking it. The listing is called princes gardens with very select photos making it look half decent hotel. The reality is it’s imperial college but they want to scam money from unsuspecting people. On arrival it’s so unclear where to go too as they do not disclose your staying in the college halls, I spoke with numerous “staff” (basically kids who were hall monitors) who kept me wondering back up and down the road all advising it was the other direction. Despite all this it may not have been that bad had the room have air conditioning or half decent WiFi. Stuck in a uni halls at 35…great stay 🙄

These are Student Halls rented out as hotel rooms outside of term time, but are a great location close to the Royal Albert Hall. Rooms are basic but then so is the price.

The convenience of location, affordability of a safe, comfortable room, and being so close to Hyde Park and other great locations, with a walkable distance to Paddington Station. I would definitely do this again and have a longer stay/ layover in London.

As this was summer accommodation for the price it was reasonable. No tv in our room which was a shame. Maybe have some in stock for those that wish to have one. The Eastside bar/ restaurant was closed on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays which is useless for those on a long weekend city break, there must be enough people around to operate the facility. We had to go across to Pret in the main Imperial building if we wanted a coffee or a snack and then walk to a pub if we wanted a drink. The surrounding area is lovely and Princess Gardens was great to sit in. Easy access to Hyde Park and museums also the Albert Hall. We will definitely go again before term starts in September.

Location is fabulous - so close to all the museums and Royal Albert Hall. You are staying in uni halls, although clean they are basic. Don’t forget to ask for a hairdryer if you need one!!!!!

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).
