There is a good mix of chains like Ibis, Premier Inn, Holiday Inn, Best Western as well as some good independents. Its a short Underground ride to the main attractions in the centre and Harrods and the South Kensington museums are within walking distance of most hotels.
All hotels you can easily escape the hotels for breakfast, ATM's, coffee shops, pubs and convenience shops abound. Unusually there are some large supermarkets, not the usual convenience outlets found in most hotel districts. The big 24 hour Tesco pictured top is at the western end of Kensington at Earls Court, a Sainsburys is about 500m east of that and a Waitrose is by Gloucester Road underground and another along Kensington High Street.
Nearly all the mid-range hotels are in the area of Earls Court and Gloucester Road Underground Stations. Room rates are competitive with other districts and unlike other districts there is no dramatic variance in prices between the working week and weekends.

Kensington Mid-Range Hotels - The Right Solution For You?
If you are flying into Heathrow Airport then Kensington as the closest Central London hotel district should be one you check out. The Earls Court and Gloucester Road areas of Kensington where most of the mid-range accommodation is located is a good place to base yourself. Plenty of restaurants, pubs, convenience stores and such like to meet all your needs and mostly geared to leisure travellers who haven't expense accounts. In the mid-range, Kensington hotels are very high up in terms of value for money. You've got a 15 minute Underground journey to get into the very centre of London, though Harrods and South Kensington museums are walkable, but for most leisure travellers the savings you make over hotel rates in the very centre more than compensate for the 15 minute Underground journey.
