Kensington Prime Hotel
Location is great with one station across the road and 3 others around 20mins walk away. Hotel reception staff were polite and friendly. Breakfast was a bonus and had a good variety. Our room was clean, well equipped and quiet. Would return.

Great location and exceptionally clean room. Perfect for my stay. The only downside was the last night patrons across from the room and the floor below slamming doors, running up and down the stairs, playing loud music and making so much noise into 4 AM, treating the establishment like a fraternity ...
