Radisson Blue Kensington is a good value hotel. The small room, bath, etc., was expected and worked well for me. However, if you are a big person, you may want to consider getting a larger room.

Hotel was in a great area of Kensington, lots to explore nearby. Literally one block away from the Natural History Museum and lots of great shops and restaurants. Also close to the Gloucester tube station, so easy to get to major sites in London. Noise level was manageable despite the fact that it faced a busy street. It was great to have a lift which made it easy to get upstairs with luggage. The room looked a bit old and seemed could use an update.

The hotel is conveniently located near a train station, the breakfast is good although it could have more egg options. The staff was very friendly. If we come back to London we’d be staying here again
We traveled two adults and two kids, the room was large enough
