“The Resident Kensington excels for its location in the Royal Borough near the Earl's Court station, an ideal base for exploring London's cultural hubs, including the Royal Albert Hall. I appreciate the generous room sizes coupled with the thoughtful addition of mini-kitchen facilities, which sets it apart, especially for longer stays or family trips. However, some rooms facing the building's utilities might experience some noise.”
