The Drey - Kensington, Earl's Court

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fabulous stay. On a quiet street near the underground. Not a far trip anywhere. Rooms are a great size! Definitely recommend!"

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

6/10 Okay

"Internet was good. The bathroom wasn’t gross, but I also wouldn’t say it was very clean. Bed was hard, but the room was super quiet and comfy. You’ll be charged extra for everything you should get for free. Checking in early isn’t an option without a fee, nor is leaving your bags - without a fee. "

Royal National Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel has a pub, cafe/pizzeria and shop onsite. We were upgraded to a room in the City Sleeper part of the hotel which looks freshly decorated. Liked the Brit pop style panels along the corridors. We had a room looking down into the courtyard so no traffic noise. The room was quite spacious and the twin beds were not next to each other which was great as we are not a couple. Ate in the pub and the food was good."
