The 2 star Ashley Hotel offers excellent value accommodation in the tranquil and attractive Kensington area of London. The elegant Victorian townhouse building is situated on a quiet garden square, a mere 3 minute walk from Paddington Station and within easy reach of tourist attractions such as Buckingham Palace, Oxford Street and Madame Tussaud's. Paddington train station provides quick access across the city as well as to Heathrow Airport via the Heathrow Express, and the popular shopping areas of High Street Kensington, Chelsea, Knightsbridge and Oxford Circus can be reached on foot or by taxi.
The interior of the hotel matches its classic facade, with a Victorian feel emphasised by rich and opulent fabrics, a deep colour scheme and antique furnishings. The 54 guest rooms are simple and not exactly modern; however they are comfortable and do contain a certain charm, with eccentric patterned wallpaper and with some even having views over the lovely garden square outside. All rooms have televisions, radios and telephones, and most have private bathroom facilities.
In the style of a traditional bed and breakfast, the Ashley Hotel has its own cheerful breakfast room on the ground floor and a complimentary breakfast is included in the rate of the room. The lobby is also open throughout the day, meaning that you can relax with a newspaper and some light refreshments whenever you return to the hotel. With the current management having been in charge for over 30 years, visitors can arrive safe in the knowledge that service will be friendly and professional.
Nearest station is Paddington (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Bakerloo, National Rail, District).
