Dear Would-be Guests, I cannot

Dear Would-be Guests, I cannot say anything about Avni Kensington Hotel except good. The room was small, but cosy and clean (let's hope they keep their cleaning ladies). Bathroom is the same. The location is close to Gloucester Road subway station, easy to access the historical centre. The breakfast is perfect. In summary, this hotel is a good value for your money. I would stay here next time, too.

You've got to remember that this

You've got to remember that this is a cheap hotel in a very good area. At least this means that you can stay in a good part of London for a good price. However, you won't get the same comfort as the more expensive hotels. With this in mind, this is a great hotel. You can get onto the District, Circle or Piccadilly Line at Gloucester Road Tube which is very close. Breakfast was good, although the room feels like a canteen. The rooms are small, but clean and comfortable with everything you need as well as a flatscreen TV. The heating also worked well. My only complain has to be the shower's water pressure which makes showering a pain. We also found the staff to be very friendly and helpful.

The Hotel is situated in a select

The Hotel is situated in a select area of Kensington 5 minutes walk from the Gloucester Rd tube station. I was going to visit the Natural History and Science Museums which were nearer the South Kensington Tube Station, but on foot from the Hotel it is about 15 -20 minutes' walk away. Reception always seemed to have a guy present at all times. Superior Double Room had a Queen sized bed, tea making facilities, large flat screen TV, a small desk & chair and an on-suite shower/toilet. All was very clean and tidy. The hotel had no bar and only 2 small breakfast areas where a continental breakfast was served - up to 9:30 Mon - Sat & 10:00 Sun. Only 2 small details noticed - the hot water tap only had a trickle of water but the shower was OK. Only one pillow per person supplied, heating was fine when I arrived but was cold when I got up in the morning then was back on again when I was going out! Comparing the room to the Strand Palace rooms, it was half the price and comparable.

I have stayed at this hotel two

I have stayed at this hotel two times now and have had positive experiences. My room on the second stay was smaller than the first but as London hotels go this was fine. The room was very clean, comfortable and simple. The location is very good and less than 5 minutes walk to Gloucester Road underground stop.

The hotel was very clean. The room we were allocated was very very small. There was a constant generator noise which kept us awake. Basic hotel and basic breakfast but would go back if another room was available. The location was very good.
