Not quite what I expected
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/29/07
I recently visited the Kensington Gardens, and was very, very disappointed. If cost and location are the only issues, this may be for you. If you do not mind the risk of climbing 73 stairs and 6 floors, since there is no elevator, and if you do not mind that there is no room for an open suitcase, except your bed, this may still be for you. There appeared to be no connecting rooms, and this is not teh type of facility I would recommend for children, and I have three.
My room was the width of a twin bed, and about 1-1/2 times as long. There was a sink, small closet, and a shower. The toilet was down 2 steep sets of stairs, and winding turns. My inner room on a cruise ship to The Netherlands was much more spacious. When I arrived late at night, I was told via abuzzer that I had to go next door, go back and up the stairs, and then go up 73 stairs, and around 6 turns in order to gain entry to my room. No simple task, even though I am fairly young, and definetly not what one needs after a long flight, and train ride.
On the bright side, the owner was very helpful, and made every effort to make the trip enjoyable, and to help as she could.
