The hotel is about a 10-15 minute walk from the Gloucester Underground station. My room wasn’t ready when I got there (I arrived early) but they will check your luggage. A short walk away, there are places to eat, a Starbucks and a very nice pub (Gloucester Arms). I ate there a couple of times and the food was very good. When I checked in, they ask for a CC and put on a hold for $100 which is a security deposit. I loved my room!! The hotel was recently renovated and everything is controlled by electronic panels throughout the room, e.g., lights, a/c, etc. The bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet. The bathroom was large and everything worked fine. The hotel is within walking distance to The Royal Albert Hall and Hyde Park. When you check out, they refund the security deposit right away. I highly recommend The Queens Gate and would definitely stay there again!!
