A fantastic property in a great location. Kensington is a very walkable neighbourhood with lots of food and shops to explore. A short walk away from the train as well for getting further afield. Every staff member we interacted with was so hospitable and professional. It felt like they truly enjoyed hosting their guests.

All good. Except no hot water for the day I stayed. Stuff did offer me at the sister hotel. Just one night. I just declined. They should have compensated a bit. Like discount this time or next time stay here. That didn’t offered. I guess times are tough.
