One night stay for a concert at the Royal Albert Hall which is only a 20 min walk away and a 5 min walk from South Kensington tube station. Room very good with a lovely comfy bed only minor issue is getting in and out of the ensuite(door could do with opening outwards). Would definitely stay again if attending Albert Hall
