The entire staff was so professional, friendly, and accommodating! We were greeted daily with fresh apples and delicious coffee in the hotel loɓby. Although it's not a "ritzy" kind of hotel, our studio room was very comfortable and contained everything we needed. The location is perfectly located just a few blocks from the beautiful Kensington and Hyde parks with easy access to several grocery stores, restaurants, and just about everywhere else via the underground station at Gloucester Rd. Despite there being many other guests at the hotel during our visit, we never had to wait for the elevator/lift and the endless VERY hot water on demand for showering was no less than amazing! Just what we needed after a long day of sightseeing on those nippy, damp London nights. Aside from the trash collection truck in the mornings, the area was quiet at night and the bed was quite comfortable, so we rested well every night. My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay and would return to The Citadines South Kensington as well as highly recommend it without hesitation.
