Kensington King Room with Ensuite
Kensington, London
1 bedroom · 1 bed · 1 bathroom · 2 guests
About this place
A king room at The Drey on Barkston Gardens, three minutes from Earl's Court tube. A king bed, a window onto the square, an ensuite with rain shower, a coffee machine and fast WiFi, with digital check-in. Earl's Court's cafés and pubs are on the doorstep, and the Natural History Museum and the V&A are a 15-minute walk. A limited-time Nook room. Wind down as the lighting around you creates a sunset, designed to improve your rest. Wake up to sunshine and birdsong: your day starts right at Nook. Inside The Drey, a Regency building in Kensington, the room is 10.5 m² with a large king bed and room to unpack. Barkston Gardens is a quiet garden square, so the room stays calm even though the station is three minutes away. In the evening, sunset lighting and restful audio help you switch off. In the morning the room slowly brightens and the blinds rise for a gentle, energising start. Rest in a large king bed with premium linen and comfort cooling. Start the day with a Paddy & Scott's coffee from the pod machine and a rain shower with Gabar toiletries. The room is all yours: bedroom and ensuite bathroom inside The Drey. The hotel has a lift, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage. I'm available with local recommendations, tips and help 24/7 as well as the onsite team. Earl's Court sits between Kensington and Chelsea: garden squares, neighbourhood cafés and pubs, with Kensington High Street, the South Kensington museums and the King's Road a short walk or bus ride away. Olympia London is around 15 minutes on foot. Earl's Court station is three minutes away, with the Piccadilly line direct to Heathrow and the District line to Westminster and the City.
