Overrated
SW7 (South West London) is one of the best Post Codes in the entire city and country, lovely buildings / restaurants and plenty of historic sites to see so you expect the hotel to be on a par with it’s surroundings and for some parts it was: restaurant/ bar/ lobby area - all really nice. We’d stayed in the area on many occasions before but thought this time we would try The Kensington. Booked the std room - (which to be fair hadn’t done in any of the other previous hotel stays) but never checked the room square footage (or meterage as it was). The bathroom ( no joking) was less than 4sq metres - maybe closer to 3- probably the smallest bathroom I have ever had anywhere in the world. From the centre- I could literally touch any of the 4 walls without moving from my spot. I could touch the left side/ right / front and back all from the centre. The bedroom ( having moved from the first given room) was 13-15sqm, like a box and not value for money at £450/ night (in my mind). I didn’t particularly enjoy the stay but don’t get me wrong it is still a nice hotel. Special shout out to Lucian - very helpful. Checkin person in question- a little less so! Oh yes, don’t try and ask for a drink after 10:30pm (weekdays). Bar closes at this time.
