Top South Kensington Hotel Reviews

The Rembrandt

10/10 Excellent

"Good room service"

The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"Bailey’s Hotel was wonderful. We were first timers to London and the hotel location was perfect for walking to the many sites or taking the Tube which was directly across the street. The room was comfy and quiet, the staff were friendly and helpful. The bar was nice for a late night cocktail. Breakfast was delicious although we just ate there once in our week long stay. Would definitely stay here again."

Millennium Hotel and Conference Centre Gloucester London

6/10 Okay

"Overall our stay was fairly good. The staff were excellent; friendly, polite and helpful. Breakfast was very good. The location was excellent with a tube station and tourist bus close by. The Executive room we stayed in however, was below the standard we expected. The refrigerator didn’t work. Some bathroom tiles were held on with adhesive tape. The bath and surrounds were chipped in parts and had been poorly repaired. The chrome had worn off the tap over the vanity. The welcome which came up on our television each morning greeted people other than ourselves. This was a little off putting and was in no way welcoming for us."

The Cura Hotel Kensington, London, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

4/10 Poor

"Tiny rooms. We were downgraded to a "cosy" room despite booking a "queen" which was ridiculously small. Management insisted the two rooms were the same (they were not). Finally moved to a queen room the 2nd night of our stay which was very small but acceptable. Both rooms had shower drains that did not drain with water overflowing into the bathroom. In both rooms you can hear the people in the rooms next door and hear people in their rooms from the hallway. Location is good. Beds are comfy. Stay here if you are solo on business and just need a place to crash."

The Exhibitionist Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really nice to stay in a non chain hotel. The decor is great. Big bathroom with both a bath and a separate walk in shower. Excellent water pressure making for a great shower. Very friendly check in staff. No problem with an early check in unlike the cheaper chains I’ve recently stayed at where early check in is now an automatic charge. Great place to stay if you’re planning an evening at the Royal Albert Hall."

The Queen's Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for our last two nights in Europe, and it was a lovely place to end our two week trip. Since it can be hard to find a room for three people, their room with three single beds was ideal. Their towels are bath sheets which is a lovely upgrade. Breakfast buffet was tasty. Hotel staff were so helpful. Would stay here again!"

The Ampersand Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

6/10 Okay

"We stayed 5 nights. There were many good qualities of this hotel but it certainly did not live up to our expectations of a five star hotel. Most significantly, the thermostat in our room did not actually control the temperature in the room. We spent five hot days and nights. We called several times to have this addressed and were given thinner blankets, but they did not seem able to fix it, nor did they offer any acknowledgment that it was an unacceptable situation. Fortunately, two of the windows cracked open, so that helped relieve the heat, but it could not keep the room cool. As well, the coffee machine in the room did not work, and after having it replaced, it still did not work, and finally did so on the third time. Strangely, there was a TV in the shower, but it didn’t work either! The staff was generally not very friendly, and the front desk was often unattended. Communication with the staff did not improve the experience. Again, not what you expect from a five star hotel. Here is what was good about the Hotel: The beds were comfortable. It was well decorated and our room was spacious. We had paid for an upgrade. There was room for our luggage and drawers to unpack into. There was a bathtub. There were complimentary snacks and drinks in the room. This is an extremely well located hotel if you want to be in a thriving residential neighborhood and close to the metro. We did not eat in the hotel so I cannot speak to their food. Sadly, I would not return. "
