"Great location"

The Kensington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment you step across the threshold, the staff, the physical hotel and first class atmosphere at the Kensington Hotel surround you with an exceptional experience. A beautiful hotel that has a heart and soul because of its happy, professional staff. The staff care about your stay and want to make sure every step of the way you receive the finest experience. This hotel is my favourite hotel in London and soon it will be yours."

K Hotel Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"Just came back from the hottest couple of days in London and the ice cold air conditioning in the hotel and in our room was very welcomed to escape the heat. The location of this hotel is perfect if your visiting Kensington or like us going to explore the Natural History Museum and the Science museum which were a nice 15min walk down one road. 15mins doesn't sound close but when you start walking around the area you will realize it is a brilliant location. There are lots of branded and independent restaurants close by too so if you are traveling with children it's nice to not go far to grab some food. We stayed in a family room which had x2 large beds and a nice bathroom with shower, toilet and sink. Nice modern rooms and most importantly it was so clean. In our room our window looked out at a wall and vent so there was no natural sunlight but that didn't bother us. There is tea, coffee, and biscuits in the room which is always a lovely touch....us brits we love a cuppa! The breakfast was really nice this morning. There was fruit juices, tea, latte etc. There were a hot breakfast.....fry up was buffet style with scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes. Toast, Continental breakfast with cerals, yogurts, muffins etc. All really tasty and something for everyone. We checked out today but tue staff were so accommodating and kindly let us leave our heavy bags there after we checked out so we can explore the area without carrying it around with us."

8/10 Good

"Staff were 10/10, all very friendly. The hotel is well positioned for an easy walk to Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. Gloucester Road, South Kensington and High Street Kensington are very close for tube stations. There is a Whole Foods Market super close. We chose to get food from there and eat it at the park and hotel rather than have sit down meals with the kids. This worked perfectly. The hotel is in a perfect location for the museums. It was lovely not having to get the tube to those activities. The condition of the apartment was a little bit of a let down for me. The pictures looked like the apartments were modern and fresh. A lick of paint would be welcomed. The kitchen was clean, bathroom looked a bit tired. Overall satisfactory but I did feel like the photos were a misrepresentation of what I actually got. Perhaps some of the rooms have been renovated. Overall we loved the stay and I must say the beds were really comfy, even the sofa bed was fine. I would stay here again."
