Weekend in Kensington

We really enjoyed the hotel. I agree with some reviewers comments about worn carpets and light bulbs out in the hotel. However, our room was large and comfortable, the location near the Gloucester St tube station was great, and the neighborhood was quiet. The hotel was clean and had the amenities we needed.

Great location of the hotel. However, the hotel wasn’t what I was expecting. It wasn’t clean with the curtains having stains on. The bedding was okay although only one pillow per person. The rooms curtains were falling off. In addition there was water marks and stains on the paint, also the carpet had rips in etc.

No hairdryer or coffee & kettle in the rooms. Breakfast was ok but basic. Need a new toaster. Otherwise good value for money and an excellent location for visiting London. Underground is walking distance away and there are take outs, restaurants and Sainsbury's, Tesco, M&S etc in walking distance. No smoking is allowed which is an extra bonus. Clean and tidy rooms. Will go again when visiting London.
