I had a mostly pleasant stay at the hotel with some excellent staff who truly made an effort to enhance my experience. The rooms were quite small but had clean linens and were tidy throughout my stay. The pool area was a great escape after a long day, but I found the extra charge for using the jacuzzi a bit surprising. Overall, it's a decent place for short stays, but there are some improvements needed in room size and Wi-Fi reliability.

I had a pleasant stay at the Holiday Inn Kensington High Street, which is conveniently situated just a short walk from the tube station and Kensington Palace. The room I stayed in was comfortable and quiet, though I noticed it could be a bit small, especially for two people. The breakfast was notably good with a pleasant variety, but I wished there were a few more amenities for rewards guests. Overall, a solid choice but perhaps not a top pick for a return visit.
