Lord Kensington

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The three-star Lord Kensington Hotel's graces are affordability and cleanliness. This hotel is for the mature traveler who wants affordable luxury, a quiet atmosphere, and spotless, matching furniture. If you want an eclectic mix of backpackers from all walks of life, then look elsewhere!

The hotel is tucked into a very plain part of London and boasts little else than roadways as its best surrounding views. However, the UK's two most famous exhibition and conference halls are right in front of the main Tube stop. In other words, transport is not an issue here.

The Lord Kensington's decor is light and breezy. As Bevin, the manager, described it, the place has a “Contemporary European” vibe. Pastel colors are favored, with a slight overkill on peach: peach lamp shades, peach striped wallpaper, and peach bed linen—remedied only by wooden varnished desks (in some of the 23 rooms) and bedside tables. Bathrooms vary in size depending on the room, but are generally on the small side, with shower and toilet almost side by side.
