The Shaftesbury London Kensington: Great Value and Location
Satisfaction:

I found this to be a charming boutique hotel with a great room and great location. The staff were very friendly and helpful when needed. Check-in and check-out were speedy and efficient. The hotel has been recently renovated. My room had great air-conditioning, a comfortable bed and a beautiful ensuite bathroom. There was no trouser press or ironing board in the room. There was a small exercise room in the basement with a standard offering of machines. My room was equipped with a flat-screen TV with main BBC channels, SkyTV and iTV. There was also a mini-refrigerator and a microwave oven, which I used regularly. I had a basement room with no window, but it did have a nice light shaft with screen, and the ceiling was painted with glow-in-the-dark dots that gave the appearance of sleeping under the stars. The location of this hotel (two minutes' walk down quiet Hogarth Road to the Earls Court Underground Station, 1 minute walk to Cromwell Road) and the price of the room made this property a great value for its area.
