It is fair to say that Kennington might not be top of the list of places to stay for most visitors to London, but there is a lot to recommend it as guests have found. Kennington is 50 minutes or less from both Heathrow and Gatwick airports, while Oxford Street can be reached in around 20 minutes on the Tube.
The breakfast served at this hotel is said to be really tasty, but the big downside is that it is served only on Saturday and Sunday. On the other days of the week, a porridge pot is left in the fridges in rooms. Many guests would prefer to have a cooked breakfast every day of the week.
There are some guests who have complained about the size of their rooms, with some saying that they have not even had enough space to put their luggage to one side.
This old building does not have a lift, meaning you will have to carry your luggage up several narrow flights of stairs. If you have mobility problems, you may well struggle to do this.
