Ember Locke Kensington
Perfect little apartment style room comfortable for a 2 night stay. Loved having a mini fridge, and cooking nook. Table was great to work from. No housekeeping so keep that in mind. Quick walk to Earls Court station, and Kensington High street. Friendly staff.

Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG
Well placed for amenities and public transport. Staff courteous room spotless and lots of choice for breakfast. We used the spa area too although the steam room was closed and the jacuzzi could do with a refurb. The staff were very good though.
