Review on Kensington Hilton
We recently spent 2 nights pre-cruise at the Hilton, Kensington. We were able to get 4 rooms on Priceline for $99 USD each per night! (Thanks to Bob)
Check in was just fine, no problems, room was small, not as small we we thought it MIGHT be, we had enough room for luggage (we had a LOT) and to move about. Room was clean, yes it is an older hotel, there is some wear & tear to be seen, but all in all, it was nice & clean.
We DID have washcloths provided! The one complaint I had is the 1 & only electrical outlet I could get to!!! You needed a power strip to be able to plug things in. The bathroom counter space was very small and the lighting a little dim, but we managed.
We did not eat in the hotel so cannot comment on that.
Location is on a very busy, beautiful tree-lined street with MANY restaurants within walking distance. The tube being about 4-5 blocks down. However, it is a 20 pound ($40 USD) cab ride to any of the "main" attractions!!! (ie: Buckingham, Westminster, The Eye) The tube is the best way and takes about 30 minutes with quite a bit of walking & stair climbing!!
If I was to "do" the main attractions as a first timer to London, I would not stay so far out, a hotel more centrally located might be more convenient & time saving in terms of transportation. This is a GREAT location for those wishing to do more things within the same area.
