Vicarage Private Hotel

This is a nice place in a quiet upscale neighborhood. It is a converted townhouse arrangement so be aware there is no elevator.
I had a single on the «2^nd floor» (that’s 3^rd to those of us from the States). 48 steps does give you a workout but a little exercise never hurts. The room was small by US standards but pretty typical for here. The bed was comfortable and the shower was a good size.
The included breakfast was bountiful and the staff friendly and attentive.
I would certainly stay here again.

I just returned from the UK and stayed at the Vicarage Private Hotel again. I advise against bringing rolling luggage, unless you are staying on the ground floor. You have to carry your luggage up the stairs.
Room was clean, but simply furnished. The room and bathroom were clean. The hallways were clean. My room was a fantastic bargain at 50 pounds per night during the off season.
You get a greasy huge English Breakfast with your choice of bacon or sausage with tomato or kippers. You can also have porridge (oatmeal) or cereal. The price of the breakfast is included with your room rate. They also have free Wi-​Fi.
The area is super quiet and safe, with both High Street Kensington and Notting Hill Gate underground stations within easy walking distance. You can ride the Piccadilly underground line from Heathrow Airport, make one transfer at Earl’s Court onto the District Line for Edgeware Road, then get off at the High Street Kensington stop and walk over the the hotel. «Mind the Gap.»
