10/10 Exceptional

This is my third stay at the Kensington, but my first back since lock downs. I am always pleased with the facility and the staff. The rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. The location is just meters from either South Kensington or Gloucester stations with shops and restaurants everywhere. A great place for a week's long stay.
