We had eaten at Jakobs every time we visited for the Proms and any other time that we were in the area, as the food is so good and the welcome couldn't be warmer. So, when we heard that they were opening a room upstairs, we just booked it for this year's stay.
We loved the room. It is quirky, personal, individual and comfortable. It's a good size too. The shower is great!
It does front onto Gloucester Road, so can be noisy at times, but we slept well, as the bed was so comfortable. There is no air conditioning and it was very hot outside on a couple of days...but we will stay there again. In fact, we have booked already.
Tania and Rafi are great hosts, as are the staff - warm, generous and very welcoming. The food is to die for! Wonderful breakfasts too.
It's a great place to stay: close to the Royal Albert Hall, Holland Park and Kensington Gardens. It's possible to walk through parks all the way to the West End, which is great.
