Point A Kensington Olympia

The breakfast bar was straightforward, well stocked and very clean. Rooms are small but well appointed and at night very quiet (especially at the back of the hotel). Staff were always courteous, friendly and helpful. My room was even ready (lucky timing for me) in the late morning when I arrived, having previously been prepared to leave my suitcase and go about my day.
