“City Continental London Kensington sits on a quiet street, yet Earls Court Station is just a three-minute walk away, making travel simple. What struck me was how the basic, spacious rooms felt warm and welcoming, with clean sheets and linens, even in a single. For the price point in London, the helpful staff and proximity to numerous eateries and shops felt like a genuine find.”
