The Rembrandt

10/10 Excellent
"This is my second time staying at the Rembrandt. The hotel’s location is great. It’s near the Kensington museums and restaurants and the Underground is a 7-10 minute walk. The decor is pleasing, it’s very clean, and the staff are really nice and helpful. The bar is a nice place to relax and the food is good."
