4/5 Good

This hotel is listed as a five star however I believe it to be more of a four star as there is no luxury component to the basic rooms available.
I stayed in a ‘Royal Double’ which was supposed to have a view over Kensington Palace. The room was extremely small for one person let alone two and whilst the view was ok it was not of the palace but a field to the left of it.
The main problem I found with the room was that the curtains did not block out the light due to the proximity of the bed. This meant the room was light from about 5am every morning and made it difficult to sleep.
There was a small fridge which was very useful but other than that it was pretty basic.
The main selling feature of this hotel is the proximity to Kensington Gardens and the shops along Kensington High Street. This is my favourite area of London and for that reason alone I would stay at the hotel again.
