City Continental Kensington London

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The City Continental Kensington London, a two-minute walk from the Exhibition Centre, is a typical chain hotel. But hey, if it's got the goods and fits that budget, then why not give it a go? Don't expect atmosphere, don't expect anything exciting. Just expect a clean, safe and above average place to stay.

Although the hotel offers simple rooms, the reception is done up with very modern furnishings, geometrically patterned carpets, and bold colored paintings. Much like other hotels in Earls Court, the Burns is near the exhibition centers and, thus, offers little in the way of pretty views. However, the area is at least very quiet, with only sandwich shops littering nearby streets for that power-lunch rush by area business people.

Rooms, neither large nor small, have plain, bashful decor of light yellows and grays. Basement-level rooms are available, though we recommend steering clear of these. There is a common room area near the breakfast hall, with a television and magazines to boot.

Overall, the Earls Court Comfort Inn is a simple and safe place to set up camp, especially for risk-averse travelers.
