This hotel, in a lovely section of Kensington, provided super value for the location. The rooms are a bit quirky BUT their assets overcome dated furniture and the tight-for-2 layout: The bed was so comfortable, the bathroom’s tub and shower are updated, the complimentary cookies, water and Twinings tea much appreciated. Can’t emphasize location enough, especially the $250 US we paid per night in this upscale area. To boot: Our stay sadly aligned with the 4-day underground strike, but there was so much to walk to—Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, Victoria and Albert museum, Natural History museum, oodles of shops and restaurants—we had a lovely stay and burned calories. Our experience with the staff was great, too.
