Firstly, I came to SDK by bus to attend a course in HDOK. As a SDK "outsider", I don't familiar with the places in SDK, so I chose to stay at Hotel Kensington so that I can just walking to HDOK as it just located 0.47km from the hotel. The hotel doesn't provide breakfast but there are restaurants nearby. Overall, Hotel Kensington is, by far, the best hotel I have ever stayed. I'm sure I'll be stay at the same hotel if I come to SDK again. Thanks to the staffs.
