My stay at Citadines South Kensington was quite pleasant. The location was excellent, just a short walk from the Gloucester Road Tube Station and surrounded by numerous cafes and shops. While the apartment offered great value for money, I did notice that some furnishings were a bit outdated. Still, the comfortable bed helped me sleep well after a day of exploring.
