“The Best Western Burns Hotel Kensington, housed in a Grade II listed building, offers a tranquil escape with its private walled garden. While some rooms may be compact, the location near Earl's Court station is a genuine advantage. The on-site bar, named after Dame Ellen Terry, adds a touch of British charm to this accessible London base.”
