Belle chambre, hormis le pied du lit cassé, une chambre dans les combles sans Clim (une chaleur étouffante) petit déjeuner décevant il n’y avait pas grand chose. À revoir, ça ne vaut pas le prix.

Excellent location close to Kensington Gardens and public transport. For history and luxury enthusiasts. What a great breakfast included in price. A nice surprise, because they say "continental" and indeed in that style but with great class! Freshly squeezed orange juice, good coffee, selection of cheeses and cottage cheeses, jams, various sweet and savoury pastries, bread, fruit, yoghurts. Yum, yum Come and enjoy yourself

I was super impressed with this accommodation all round. Excellent (quiet) location Friendly staff, spotless room, super comfortable bed and pillows, and I was very pleased with the size and layout of my room as a solo traveller. From now on as we head into the summer, each room will need a fan as there is no AC in the rooms. I got a fan from reception which made all the difference. My advice is to ask for the fan as soon as you check in, so you will have it for the duration of your stay. I stayed for three nights and can't wait to return again on my next visor to London. The nearest tube station is Gloucester Road.

Good location, good value for money. Some people may not like this low touch Air BnB like Hotel model. For example, you check in and are verified ahead of time through their App. Your room key is a code for a little keypad instead of keycards locks . I had been a little skeptical because of some past reviews about cleanliness but my room was perfect. The staff were super friendly as well. I needed an iron and ordered it through the Sonder app. It came in under 5 minutes. The front steps could be an issue for some. Also, as other reviews noted, there is no AC. My room was a little warm when I arrived but opened the window and it was fine. I asked about it and was told they are trying to come up with something. Breakfast was decent(it had all you need ) plus a neat machine that made fresh OJ on the spot. Overall very good value for money.

Fijne kamer en mooie locatie. De badkamer was klein en douchgordijn iets minder. Maar voor de rest was de kamer goed onderhouden! Kamer had ventilatie was ook prettig. Fijne kamer en mooie locatie. De badkamer was klein en douchgordijn iets minder. Maar voor de rest was de kamer goed onderhouden!

Great place to stay in central London
I have stayed at this property three times. It is very convenient to the Albert Hall and Kensington Gardens. It’s very quiet and reasonably priced breakfast is included. Continental type I would recommend it. There is also a lift

Great Kensington Hotel! Would stay again!
Beautiful hotel wonderfully located! Easy walk to museums, night life, restaurants. Longer walk to the tube, but manageable. AMAZING breakfast buffet! Staff is very helpful when they are onsite. Night number for assistance went unanswered. They are kind in letting people store their luggage, we used that and the staff was amazing! They let me check in a few hours early. Very kind.
