I had a pleasant stay at Kensington House Hotel, especially with its clean rooms and comfortable beds, but the location wasn't as convenient as I'd hoped, given the distance from the nearest tube station. The breakfast options could have been improved with more variety. Overall, it offered good value in a pricey area of London.

Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere but experienced a few frustrating elements.
