Adorable hotel in an amazing area. Kensington is just lovely. The hotel has friendly staff, (slow but bearable) wifi, televisions, modern bathrooms, an elevator and breakfast. It's near the underground (subway) which makes it super easy to go anywhere and you can also catch a cab right out front. There are good restaurants, a grocery store and a laundromat+dry cleaners nearby. I'd suggest the pizza place just down the street. Really anything you need is right there within walking distance. Breakfast is pretty good there's musli, yogurt, juices/milk/coffee/tea/filtered water, oatmeal, breads, teas, meats, cheeses, pastries and various cold cereals. HUGE selection. The breakfast room also has a skylight. The elevator broke down during my visit and having to get a 77 year old down the stairs and up was annoying. They were very apologetic about this and offered to move us to the first floor ASAP. Luckily, it was fixed within a day but it seems to be a common occurrence as before we arrived the elevator was broken before we arrived as well. Watch out and call ahead to check on the elevator if you'll need it! I would totally come to this hotel again. I would put 5 stars except for the elevator issue. I had a great time at the Villa Kensington. read more
