Point A Kensington Olympia

Breakfast ran on a flexible schedule, from early morning until just before lunch, with tasty options and a good selection. It was the same menu every day, though, so I'd suggest changing it up during the week, especially for longer stays. I spent three nights here on my first trip to London. The price was reasonable and the nearest metro station was only a five-minute walk away. The room was very small, but that was fine since I only used it to relax for a few hours and sleep. I was out visiting the city most of the time. There was free Wi-Fi, a TV and a hairdryer, everything I needed. A very suggestive experience, and an enjoyable stay. I'd recommend the hotel.

The price is one of the main reasons I keep coming back. It's affordable, often cheap, usually around £100/night, which is very hood for london. There's a choice of rooms, and a double bed windowless room is perfectly fine. Rooms are always clean and the location is very good, just a bit off-centre, so you don't overpay. Earl's Court station is literally five minutes away, with quick access to the district and Piccadilly lines. It's straightforward from Kings Cross station, about 40 minutes to Heathrow, and the underground goes straight to the city centre. It's also close to SK, Olympia and Hammer smith. Since moving out of London, this is still where I stay whenever I visit. The staff are lovely and kind. On this recent trip I met a few new staff members who were just as lovely as the ones I knew before. I didn't catch all their names, but Alysia and Metodi are two I remember. I wouldn't book anywhere else.

The best part is the price, and the AC was a plus. The room was clean, though the shower needs scrubbing. Free breakfast is included when booking through the hotel website; otherwise it's 13 pounds, which is reasonable. The hotel is nice and a great price for London. Earl’s Court station is a 9 min walk, with District and Piccadilly line connections and Heathrew.

The bed was comfortable, the hotel was very clean overall, and its location is top notch. The people there are really friendly. The rooms are so tight you can't move around or get dressed without bumping into yourself, and the bathroom is tiny too. Tea and other drinks cost extra, though there is free water at the bar. You can get chargers or a UK plug from a self-service machine in the lobby. We also had to pay around 3 pounds per item to store our luggage because our room wasn't ready when we arrived.
