Top West Kensington Hotel Reviews

Kensington Olympia

10/10 Excellent

"We were arriving earlier than check-in and needed someplace for our bags. Our room was being cleaned when we arrived and we were allowed to leave our bags in the room and were given the key. When we returned for the night, the room was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended. "
