“This 3-star Kensington property strikes me as a practical choice, particularly its location near the metro. Rooms with kitchenettes offer welcome flexibility for short stays in London. While some report noise and inconsistent housekeeping, the location and functional rooms make it a reasonable base for exploring the city.”
