If you’re used to sleeping in a shoebox, showering in a bucket, having the fan blow at a rate that would be near the rate of an infant and paying top price - this is the place for you! You would be way further ahead staying only a little ways away from here to have a much better experience.

Nice hotel in the heart of Kensington the gym is nice. However, it is hard to swim laps in the pool during daytime hours because of crowds. High St., Kensington station underground is just a block away. The price is fair. I will definitely stay here again.

Swimming pool & jacuzzi was a bonus… Fire evacuation @ 455am was not… Chaotic at best…poorly executed & had it been a real fire I would dread to think of the consequences
