Dreamtel London Kensington

Finding an affordable, quality hotel in London is hard and I was really pleased with this place. The location was easy to find, a very short walk from the tube, and a longer but nicer walk from national rail at Paddington. Check-in was polite and straightforward, and theres someone at the front desk at all times. There's no elevator which may be a challenge for some, and the corridors are quite narrow with a series of heavy fire doors, might be frustrating for those who don't travel light. The room was incredibly small but well taken care of, clean, and had everything I needed. Storage space with hangers for unpacking, comfy single bed, working TV, full bathroom setup, window. It was kinda like the sort of room you'd expect to have on a ship, charming but compact. Having guests over was a little awkward, and making the bed work for two was a little precarious; was worried I'd lose my date out the window. They turned down my room every day and brought fresh towels and restocked the tea and coffee selection. Checkout was also very easy. Cannot complain and would stay again if the same deal was available.

The room is good for the price, but there is no lift so I had to carry 3 large bags with me to t he basement and the stairs was too small, the WiFi connection was too bad

The hotel is in a great location a few minutes walk from Earls Court underground station with lots of restaurants and food places right around the corner. The room was comfortable and the bed nice.
