Really highly recommended. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Service was superb - all the staff were very attentive throughout our stay. The live music in the basement was unexpected but top quality and was the perfect addition to our stay. Definitely 5 out of 5!

We were greeted by three staff members running out to assist us with our bags! Absolutely great first impression! Service and staff were absolutely fantastic. The venue is cute and quirky and the live music is a great touch. The rooms are quite cosy and comfortable but for a long stay with lots of luggage it can be a bit small and not much room to move. Located in a perfect position for shopping, transport and sight seeing. I would definitely return based on the greeting and goodbye we received, consistent great service and friendly staff.

It sounds like you had a wonderful experience! Being greeted by three staff members eager to assist you set a positive tone right from the start. The venue's cute and quirky atmosphere, along with the addition of live music, adds a special touch to your stay. However, it's fantastic that the hotel's location is convenient for shopping, transportation, and sightseeing. Your intention to return based on the consistently great service and friendly staff speaks volumes about the quality of your experience. Thank you, Louise!

I LOVED my three night stay at Hux Hotel. Such bold colors, such an intriguing design. Also a wonderful location at the southwest corner of Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park -- my favorite area to stay in London. My room had large windows looking out to the street and park. This is such a stylish place -- but you will feel comfortable even if you are not all that stylish (like me). There are a few things to know: you have to walk up a number of stairs to get to the elevator; the walls are thin, which was briefly a problem for me one of the three nights; the bathroom is very small (though lovely). All that said, I didn't mind any of that because it was so much fun to stay in such a vibrant, interesting hotel.

Dear Mark,Your enthusiasm for your stay at Hux Hotel shines through brightly! It sounds like an absolute gem with its bold colors and intriguing design, perfectly complemented by its prime location near Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park. Large windows offering views of the street and park must have been a treat! It's refreshing to hear that despite a few quirks like the stairs and thin walls, the overall experience was still enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your experience, it was a real pleasure to host you at The Hux,

Dear Nathen,Thank you for your feedback about your stay.

Fabulous way to end family holiday trip
From moment one, the Hux Hotel staff when out of their way to make our stay as pleasurable as possible. Even if they did nothing, the 2-bedroom suite as the perfect ending to our holiday vacation in England. The place was zazzy with highly functional and interesting appointments. The big table was perfect for a night of eating in rather than getting than losing another 100 pounds by eating out. Also location in Kensington is right across the street from Hyde Park and down the street from many fantastic restaurants and stores. And my two teenagers loved having their own room (as did their parents). Highly recommend the Hux Hotel.

Helpful staff and rooms are cute but small. They told me the room was an upgrade, it was about 8x10 ft (2.5x3.3m). It was confusing that the registration was in the bar next to the door marked for residence entry. The lift operates between floors 1 but the entrance is level 0 so you must climb stairs to get in (would be a challenge for elderly / disabled). Directly across from Hyde Park in a lovely location.

The staff was very nice, and helpful, and the decor was whimsical and quite cool. There is no discernible sign on the street, you need to be buzzed in through a quite anonymous door, and go up 2 flights if narrow stairs to get to to the reception. My room, 404, while nicely designed and decorated, was incredible small, with only 3ft space between the side of the bed and the walls, and 1ft between the foot of the bed and the wall.

Save your money, book somewhere else - 0 stars
I got there, tired after a 6hr flight, and found out that I had to walk up a flight of stairs just to access reception! I have a torn ligament in my knee and was told by my doctor to avoid walking up stairs as much as I can. I informed the gentleman of this when I saw the stairs as he helped with the luggage. He let me walk up to the front desk to tell me that the lift is out of order and I'd have to walk an additional 2 flights to get to my room!!! I have NEVER stayed at a 4+ star hotel that had no working lifts. Sure, it happens. But shouldn't they have AT LEAST informed the guests before they arrive and given them the option to cancel their reservations for free if they wish to do so??? Had I known earlier, I would have had time to find a different hotel by the time my plane landed. I couldn't walk up and down a lot so I crammed all my outings in one go instead of coming back to rest and leave again. Those 2 days there have left me in so much pain and my joint was now inflamed. Undid 2 weeks of physiotherapy progress. Room's are viciously tiny. Overcrammed with furniture. Huge plant in the corner that makes it difficult to access the blinds. Barely enough room for 1 person to move around the bed. And the bathroom is possibly the smallest I've ever seen at a hotel. My cat's litter box is bigger. Whoever took photos of the rooms needs to charge more than their current rate - I don't know how they managed to make those rooms look big. Very disappointing. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Dear Danah,Thank you for your review.We are really sorry that your experience at The Hux was disappointing. Kindly note that all our rooms have detailed descriptions on all the channels with the dimensions, facilities and pictures, so our guests know what to expect when they book the room. Yes, we have the stairs to access the reception which is on the first floor, that is why we always have a luggage porter to assist our guests with their luggage.I am very sorry that the lift did not work and it should have been communicated to our guests better however we had an engineer coming to fix it and it was also an issue for us and the Team as we could not offer the service we would like and had to wait for the company to get the parts.We should have offered you a move to the room on a first floor if it was available but also please note that many buildings in London does not have lifts and have very steep stairs.We really hope we will have a chance to host you again in the future and make sure your stay will be smooth and memorable.
