Hotel Mercure Kensington - London, England
We had chosen to stay in the Hotel Mercure Kensington because it was modern and comfortable. I know everyone has their preference when staying abroad. Some like to stay in bed-and-breakfasts or vintage style hotels. While now and then that can be fun (especially in a castle!), my personal preference, (and Jim’s) are clean, modern, hotels with comfy beds, wi-fi, flat-screen TVs and luxurious bathrooms. After an exhausting day exploring a new country, it’s just restful to come back to such a soothing environment. As you can probably tell by now, we are not the backpack on a tiny budget type of travelers.
The Mercure Kensington is not very pretty on the outside, but the spaces inside, while having been recently remodeled; retain the original Georgian feel and are elegantly stylish. It also has a tiny outdoor seating area where you can relax and have a last glass of wine if you are absolutely too pooped to venture out late in the evening. The hotel is conveniently located just a few minute’s walk to the Earl’s Court underground station. That station was to be our launch point to the city of London. We would highly recommend this hotel as a comfortable well located hotel with friendly staff and when we were there, it was moderately priced.
