"Bedside USB chargers didn't work. The shower/tub was about 3 ft off the ground and very difficult to climb into especially with no shower bars. To get out ice you had to go downstairs to the bar to get ice there was nothing on any floor. No room service after 8:00 p.m. Centrally located. Walkable to many attractions Hyde Park, Kensington Palace, Victoria and Albert museum etc. very safe neighborhood easy to obtain food and supplies"

Safestay London Kensington Holland Park

10/10 Excellent

"We had a family room (3 beds) for one night. Yes, it’s a hostel, so no, it’s not a plush hotel. But for the cost, the place is great. Fantastic location and friendly staff. 3 comfy beds in a good size room, and an en-suite with a great shower. A TV in the room, which we could use BBC iplayer on fine, and somewhere to get some food if you needed. What’s not to like."
