London Hotel Guide. K & K Hotels in London, England

I stayed here 11 nights for a long-planned, first-time London vacation. I thought the rate I was offered via Expedia was very reasonable. The front of the hotel and certain features make it obvious that this was originally a series of single-family terrace homes -- it made the atmosphere all the more appealing. The rooms are a bit small by American standards -- but I understand that's true of just about all London hotels. They are nevertheless clean and comfortable. Just accept the size, enjoy the ambience, and use the available amenities to expand your space. All staff members were unfailingly helpful and courteous -- they provided excellent and prompt service. The lobby, bar, and restaurant areas were clean and attractive, but the most outstanding feature was a lovely back garden with interesting sculptures and varied comfortable seating areas. It was a really great spot to unwind with a glass of wine after a long day of sightseeing, and to chat with fellow travelers. A large orange cat helped to provide local character. You can get rates that include daily breakfast. I did not, and didn't miss it. I ate breakfast at the hotel once; I preferred picking up some juice or water and a pastry at any of the number of little stores that I passed on my way to the tube station. The Earl's Court tube station is a short distance from the hotel -- it was nearly effortless to get from there to all of the major sightseeing areas.
