Top Kensington Palace Hotel Reviews

The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington

8/10 Good

"Check in and check out… Both arriving and departing was a drawn out process. Just far too slow. Really tried my patience. Then had to wait ages for the concierge. Friendly pleasant staff though. Communal areas… Pleasant enough. Room was on 1st floor up the main stairs and hang a right to the part beginning 108 or something like that. Problem is when you get up there the corridors stink! Need a good airing out and maybe carpets shampooing. Musty. Bedroom… Decent size. Comfy bed. Quiet. Needed a note pad and pen - I needed one and was surprised not to see one. Good size television. Only one teabag per person which felt a tad stingy. Guess if i asked they would have brought more. Complimentary bottles water was a nice touch. Bathroom… Clean. Lovely products. Decent size and good hot shower. Missed the little extras like cotton pads and buds etc. Breakfast… Very pleasant dining room which is where hotels can sometimes fall down. Light and airy. Good hot and cold options. Fried eggs looked a bit grim though so had a cooked breakfast without. Location… Excellent for tube (which is right next door) with great food and drink options locally. Would I stay again ? Yes. The issues i mention are minor."

Royal Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are incredible and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. If you’re looking for a convenient location and a great staff, this is the place for you! 11/10"

Millennium Hotel and Conference Centre Gloucester London

8/10 Good

"Nice property in good neighborhood..very safe and walkable to shopping and plenty of food options close by...Staff was courteous and helpful.. Would stay here again."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

8/10 Good

"This is a great place for the basics. The rooms are very basic and provide a safe, clean place to sleep and go back out and do the tourist thing. I had never stayed in a hotel like this before and it served our needs. They stored our bags for a price, if you needed more towels or toilet tissue they were helpful, but this is a very basic place. I did love that you could not hear the noise of Piccadilly Circus and the room was dark for sleep since there wasn't any windows. Overall it was a good stay."

Mitre House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, good breakfast. Small room but that's mostly London but it was clean and manageable. Great service from the staff at all times."

Bluedaws Private Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very helpful and friendly and when I realised that there was no lift and it would be difficult for me to climb all the stairs to the top floor they relocated me to a floor with fewer stairs. The room was comfortable and quiet and the location is excellent"

Park Avenue Bayswater Inn Hyde Park

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location, very good breakfast, we would recommend"

Thistle London Hyde Park Kensington Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"Great location within walking distance to underground stations and Paddington Station Staff were incredibly friendly and there is onsite parking which is a bonus."

Central Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is newly renovated with a lovely style to the bedrooms. The beds are not the comfiest but not all hotel beds are. The staff are really kind and welcoming. I would say the walls are super thin and you can hear everything outside of your room which woke me and my colleagues up in the early hours of the morning. There is a nespresso machine as well as bottles of water in the fridge. I would likely stay again as the pricing was affordable and close to transit links."
