Great place to stay if you're on a budget. No elevator and we received a lower floor room so it was difficult to take down and bring up the suitcases

Great location. Quiet, on a beautiful street opposite a small park/garden. M&S just a couple of blocks away. Good basic small hotel. Nothing fancy, but also nothing disturbing like many comparably priced hotels. Excellent value for the money. No lift. My single room was VERY small, and they were helpful in offering a larger one, but I decided to stay to be opposite the garden. Kind helpful staff.

Since it was a hotel, I wish someone brought my luggage down for me when I checked out. A bit confusing to check in a different place than you’re staying.

Good stay. Room as described. The shower was very slippery and the shower head has to be held in your hand when showering, so may not be suitable for all.

Hot and loud

Don't go there during a heat wave, it's about 10C hotter in the rooms than outside. Also don't forget your earplugs because you will hear doors slamming until late at night and early in the morning.

I knew there wasn’t an elevator. I didn’t know there were 4 floors. 80 steps up winding stair cases with luggage isn’t really a great option. My 73 year old mother needed assistance but there wasn’t any. The two young girls at the desk didn’t offer. Plus in order to check in for the Kensington Hotel you have to go three doors down to a different hotel. She could barely get her luggage up the front steps of the check in. Still no help was offered. I ended up hauling her bag up the flights of stairs to our room.

Beautiful property in a quiet Neighborhood. Its a five minutes walking distance from restaurants, shops and the train station. The only downfall is our room was on the fifth floor (76 stairs to climb) and there is no elevator.
