TOP Hotel Kensington Gardens

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The TOP Hotel Kensington Gardens, located on terribly cute Kensington Gardens Square, sports typical chain hotel-style rooms.

The 17 rooms (13 with en suite facilities and four singles with shared facilities) are quite anonymous, favoring rusts and tans at most turns: duvets, for example, are patterned in just this color combination. Bed frames are faux-antique dark wood, and work desks are very Ethan Allen. Is it charming? Not particularly. Does it do the trick? Yes, and at rates that are good for the neighborhood.

There is no elevator here, and the stairs are steep. A full continental breakfast (included in the nightly rate) is served in a breakfast room next door to the hotel (an English breakfast is available for an extra charge).

On the indisputable plus side, the hotel enjoys a fabulous location in tony Bayswater, and is a four-minute walk from the Bayswater Tube station.
