Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG

Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG

6/10 Okay
"The hotel is quite old and need of renovation! In my room, the bathroom smelled strongly of spoilage because the bathtub drain and sink were clogged, and after bathing, there was dirt residue in the tub due to the clogged drain, which left a strong smell. The sauna is in the men's locker room and is poorly maintained with mess in the locker room and dirty toilets. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was very varied."
