Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Poor rating
Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was very small and clean. I would advise against anyone staying in this room if you weigh more than 150-160 pounds. It is so small that it is hard to get around the bed and bathroom. The bathroom is horrible with so much mold on the walls and tiles. Not clean at all. They have no wash cloths or hand towels available. I would find another hotel in the same area. It was very easy to get around because the Tube access is excellent. We would never stay in The Villa Kensington again.

Good bargain for London
The room was very clean (small, but fine for the price). Bathroom was spotless, plenty of hot water and good water pressure. All the staff I met were very courteous and helpful.I would stay here again.
