Great spot in London for families

We stopped over in London for two nights on the way home from our family vacation, and we couldn't have asked for a better spot. Great neighborhood, easy access to the tube and bars, restaurants, shopping and parks. Service was impeccable. Laila (front desk) was very helpful with restaurant recommendations.

Sevicio excelente, todo el personal fue muy amable, el desayuno muy bueno con mucha variedad para diferentes gustos la cama muy amplia, pero el cuarto demasiado pequeño para una familia, a pesar de eso esperamos volver a hospedarnos y si que queremos regresar!.

Our Kensington Go-to

Had the best time staying at Melia with my family of 5. It had everything you needed for a comfortable and luxurious stay. The staff were so attentive and always available. They made the stay memorable and easy for us. The hotel has a beautiful London charm to it and is well maintained. The decor was chic, inviting, and lovely. We will always stay here when we visit London. It was quiet and easy for us to sleep through the night. The only issue was the design of the shower made it easy for water to fall outside of the shower but it didn’t bother us too much because the tile dried quickly and they have floor mats.
Kareem, 4-night trip

I will stay here again!

I loved this stay. I travelled with my daughter and loved the comfy room, lovely service and amazing location. The hotel is located in one of the best areas of London and we were walking distance to everything we needed: Cafés, supermarket, Underground and amazing restaurantes. I will stay here again!
