Key information

Location & nearby

Kensington High Street and Royal Albert Hall are a 5-minute drive away, and Hyde Park is also close at 2.2 km, making the property a good fit for museum- and park-focused itineraries.

However, it's closer to the outskirts than the city center, and some reviews mention traveling by two rail lines and bus, so allow plenty of time for public-transit connections.

  우선 부촌인건지 동네가 안전하단 느낌이 많이 들어요. 주요관광지 다니기 버스,지하철 잘되어있고요. 호텔도 로비부터 룸까지 예뻐요. 피트니스는 기본적으로 있을거 다 있고 넓어요. 근데 무동력러닝머신이라 익숙하지않아 사용은 힘들어 못했어요. 세탁이 무료였던거 같은데 유료로 변경되어 앱다운해서 사용해야하는데 구글앱스토어 에서 다운로드 불가한 앱입니다. 그래서 세탁 못했어요. 그게 제일 아쉬웠고 조리가능한데 슈퍼도 바로 앞입니다. 여러가지로 좋았어요. 또 재방문 의사있어요. 시티 스튜디오

  홈페이지 사진을 보고 감각적이라 골랐습니다. 장점은 1. 약간 외곽이라 가격이 다소 저렴합니다. 2. 철도 두 개가 정차하고 숙소 바로 앞에 버스가 있어서 교통이 나름 편해요. 3. 주변 동네가 안전한 듯합니다. 마트도 바로 앞에 있구요. 4. 직원들이 다 친절해요. 방 바꿔 달라고 하니 친절하게 다른 방 보여주고 바꿔주셨어요. 5. 침대가 편해요. 숙면 취했습니다. 단점은 1. 일단 방이 너무 어둡습니다. 눈이 침침하고 답답해요. 2. 욕조가 있는 방이었는데 물이 쫄쫄쫄 내려가서 방 교환을 요청했더니 바꾼 방도 마찬가지입니다.…
