Everything in Kensington is expensive, so I wasn't expecting anything amazing for the price I paid, but the room still didn't feel like it was good value. The area around is lovely and I suppose that is what you pay for. The room was clean and bright, but the apartment was very cluttered outside the room and felt a bit like returning to my student days of shared accommodation. The biggest issue, though are the church bells right next door and for anyone booking for a Thursday night, be aware that the ringers have a 2 hour practice from 7.15-9.15pm. Church bells are lovely in the distance but the noise level in our room was unbearable, and as I was staying with young children who wanted to go to sleep at about 7, we had to walk up the road to stay elsewhere for the night. Thank goodness the other two nights were quiet - although for those who like to sleep in on a Sunday, they also started up at 8.30am - by which time we were out the door!
