“This Kensington location is a solid choice for families, near the Natural History Museum and with easy tube access to Heathrow and Gatwick. I appreciate that it's in a quieter residential area, yet still close to Hyde Park and major attractions. Though some rooms could use a refresh, the attentive staff and reasonable price make it a practical option.”
