4/10 Poor

I give 2 stars because the hotel offers fresh water and near the paddington station
IMANE, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Since it was a hotel, I wish someone brought my luggage down for me when I checked out. A bit confusing to check in a different place than you’re staying.
Nav, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Beautiful property in a quiet Neighborhood. Its a five minutes walking distance from restaurants, shops and the train station. The only downfall is our room was on the fifth floor (76 stairs to climb) and there is no elevator.
sabine M, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was our second stay this year. During our 1st stay the weather was cold. This time it was hot! This time our room had a fan in it. We were so thankful.
Michelle, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Good stay. Room as described. The shower was very slippery and the shower head has to be held in your hand when showering, so may not be suitable for all.
Juliet, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The reception staff is expected
Irfan, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Small, but well appointed and comfortable room.
brenda, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Small but neat and clean hotel, typical of London. Staff is helpful and friendly, location is close enough to get around. Only complain would be the lack of elevator - my room was located on the 3rd floor and had to climb up 5 flights of stairs - not easy with luggage.
TING HEY, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Just marking down as there are no fridges in the rooms, at least not in the room I was in, so unable to keep a cold drink. Besides that everything is/was great
Adam, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

No air conditioning and they put us on the top floor with 90 pounds of luggage. Horrible time.
Madeline, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very friendly front desk that answered many questions. Very close to the Tube so easy to get anywhere. Enjoyed walking around Kensington and Hyde Park.
Sandra, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

We’ve got room on 5th floor and building is old and has no elevators. Other than that everything else was good.
Sergey, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The friendliest of people
Shawn, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect stay.
Andzhela, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had the most wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was absolutely amazing and kind and helpful. The room was comfortable in the location could not have been better. It was walkable to restaurants, and of course, Kensington Gardens. We even walked all the way to Kensington Palace. it was a wonderful day. Highly recommend.
Bonnie, 2-night trip

Bbbb
Robert, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

I knew there wasn’t an elevator. I didn’t know there were 4 floors. 80 steps up winding stair cases with luggage isn’t really a great option. My 73 year old mother needed assistance but there wasn’t any. The two young girls at the desk didn’t offer. Plus in order to check in for the Kensington Hotel you have to go three doors down to a different hotel. She could barely get her luggage up the front steps of the check in. Still no help was offered. I ended up hauling her bag up the flights of stairs to our room.
Sarah, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

We enjoyed our stay! Lots of restaurants and subway stations on walking distance. We stayed on the top floor, which with heavy suitcases was a bit of challenge
Esra, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

We thought we had selected same hotel as last year. No elevater and old fashion building. Worrried about no fire escape on third floor.
Uwe, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Clean and quiet property, met our needs. Only downside was there was no lift so we had to lug luggage down and up a few flights of stairs.
Kelsey, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved our stay. The location was perfect for concert at Royal Albert Hall
Tom, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel has an excelent ubication. It is in very good conditions.
Luis Manuel, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Fairly good place
Artur, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Due to lack of conditioning, I had hard time even when the max daily temperature was 80-82 degrees. I cannot imagine staying in a room with 90+. The room is small and awfully heated by the sun with no ventilation whatsoever.
Valentyna, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely hotel for the money. Minutes from the tube station. Very clean and comfortable. If driving, it’s worth pre booking somewhere through a parking app.
Paul, 1-night trip
