I have a small group going on a Cruise out of Dover around the British Isles this August and booked into the Hilton Olympia Kensington. At first the rate was going to be $835 but I did a Best Rate Guarantee and got the Double Room for $530 $106 per night with Breakfast for two and I can add the additional person for $20 per day. Its not too far from Kensington and close to Holland Park. 1 mile walk to the old Vicarage Gate Hotel where we stayed eons ago.
I am very pleased with the rate as other Rick Steve's Hotels were going for $140. I do not mind the eight minute walk to Holland Park and riding the Tube to the sights or the Hop on Hop Off Bus.
Now don't get me wrong I love small hotels but when Hilton has a good rate with my Gold Status I'll take them up on their offer. They even have a Costa Coffee there as well.
What are your thoughts on this Hotel? The rooms and hotel has been renovated and its right on High Street Kensington. AirBnBs were going for way more and located in Westbourne Park a not so safe area.
