Weekend in town
My partner and i had a weekend with 2 concerts in london plus a gallery visit, so we booked in for 2 nights at the kenilworth. we were greeted at reception by staff that seemed to want to help rather than just going through the bureaucracy. like many old london hotels, the double room was small, really only a single, but was clean and tidy. it had an iron & board, hairdryer, kettle, safe, mini-bar, etc etc. bathroom was quite luxurious if laid out a little awkwardly. because of it's superb location, from the hotel it was cheaper to get a cab than a tube to most of our destinations (as there were 2 of us). and in some cases we were able to walk. didn't use business services so can't comment on them. the bar was quite nice though mostly empty and drinks were no more extortionate than elsewhere in london. the weather was quite cool during our stay, yet the room was too hot. the aircon didn't do anything much, and the windows could not be opened. it would have been a nightmare in a hot spell. overall though, staying at the kenilworth enhanced our weekend.
