Our seven day trip to London with our ten and eleven year old grandchildren was great!! We had two hiccups and Aleksandra responded right away. Everyday our schedule was laid out for us. We used the tube while in London and had private drivers to and from Heathrow and the Harry Potter Studios. Our tour guide David in London was great! He used to do security for the palace and was assigned to Prince Harry . He had a ton of good stories! Our Beefeater tour guide at the Tower of London was really good and engaged the children a lot. We were scheduled at the Natural History Museum but got done early and also went to the Science Museum. Our grandchildren like the Science Museum better. We saw the show Come Alive!! Highly recommend but get the VIP ticket. We were always busy, very little down time. Never waited in any long lines. We stayed at the Marriott Residence Inn in Kingsington in a two bed two bath apartment. Right across the street was Cacciari's Italian Restaurant and they would deliver right to your room. Also we were just blocks away from Earl's Court Tube station and a Tesco.

Hotel Review
Residence Inn by Marriott London Kensington
London

This place is a bargain for London. We had two bedrooms, two baths, a small kitchen and a living room with a dining table. They serve a daily breakfast buffet but it is not very English and sort of bland. The place is clean, the staff is attentive and very accommodating. Lots of families stay there. It is a few blocks from the Earl's Court Tube station, a Tesco and Cacciari's Italian restaurant is right across the street. Eat in or they deliver to your room.

Authenticity & Character
It is starting to look a little tired. It has been updated but I don't know how they keep up.
Location
Staff
Dining room, front desk and luggage attendant were all great. Remembered the kids names.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Daily maid service was good . It just gets a lot of wear and tear.
