"Very friendly, helpful staff. Our Queen room on the bijou size but well equipped, apart from a lack of lighting on one side of the bed. A side light & reading light on one side but nothing on the other. Breakfast was excellent with good continental choice and an interesting variety of cooked to order choices. Would definitely stay again."

Rooms are small but we didn’t spend much time there so not an issue. Amenities were good; oven, fridge etc. Was clean enough but felt like it could do with a bit of a makeover to spruce the place up a bit. Check in was fine and comms were all very good. "

"We stayed at the Kensington Stay for 3 nights and overall it was a lovely stay. Amenities were good, the accommodation itself is a couple of minuite walk from the tube stop which is really handy and it felt very safe! Only thing to note is that we had a ground floor room and the traffic outside was pretty loud so I'd recommend bringing earplugs with you if you're a light sleeper! "
