bardzo dobra lokalizacja i wygodne łóżko
lodówka w szafie, wiec albo używasz lodówki albo szafy, albo kabel do lodówki wystaje z szafy
Housekeeping kept everything tidy throughout my multi-day stay
Plenty of good cafes and restaurants right outside the door
Bedsheets were crisp, fresh, and smelled very clean
Fair price for a clean and comfortable city center room
Nice staff and served food until late evening in the bar area. Great location in a very nice area, near to local tube station, shops, taxi rank opposite and a lovely tea room the Muffin Man. Felt safe as a solo female traveller.
The rooms aren't soundproof had really noisy guests with children above my room , can also hear guests in their bathrooms going to the toilet!! Looks like the actual Swimming pool needs a good cleaning when you're swimming you can see all the tiles are extremely grubby in the pool. Lifeguard very laxed with poor safety supervision he only stayed a short time even though there were people still using the pool
The air conditioning cooled the room down in no time
Clean and good location. Able to leave bags on departure day.
Breakfast was a little expensive for those with a small appetite
Excellent Breakfast with a wide range to cater for everyone., going to miss them. The rooms were really clean and well attended to. All the staff in every role were happy and friendly.
The only thing I would say is that the ensuite was looking a bit tired and worse for wear. I had the opportunity to discuss this on check out and am led to believe that this is one of the areas programmed for upgrade.
La ubicación es excelente
Las Chicas de la limpieza, en 3 días ni limpiaron el cuarto ni cambiaron las toallas. Aún llamando a la recepción o enviando un email al hotel. En el check out, pidieron disculpas. Pero ya para que? Ya nos íbamos de regreso…
Hotel was close to the underground train
Tiny room. Room was booked, confirmed and paid for several months in advance, but we did not get the room we booked
Great Location, but Room for Improvement The hotel is in a very convenient location, just about a 5-minute walk uphill to Kensington High Street Underground Station. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, which makes it easy to explore the area. The breakfast had a good selection of options.
Areas for improvement: The rooms are tiny, and it can be difficult for two people to move around comfortably at the same time. The lifts are quite old and slow, which can be inconvenient in an 8-storey hotel. The service could also be improved. We understand that everyone gets tired, but some members of the reception team did not seem very welcoming, and the restaurant staff appeared rather tired and less attentive than expected. On a positive note, we really appreciated the friendliness of the housekeeping team and the concierge.
Room comfortable and breakfast ok
TV did not work. They tried to fix and then stopped working again.
A simple, honest room that provided a great night's sleep
Good water pressure in the shower made mornings much better
Staff were efficient, polite, and handled everything with a smile
早餐好。位置好,离地铁近。
我们过几天还要去住,但是预定平台加了房价,还说旅店不能保证满足双床这个特殊要求,要到店协商。
Leo at the bar was excellent, patient & friendly
Sehr schönes Hotel. Ruhige Lage jedoch nicht weit von einer Metro Station und dem Hyde Park entfernt! Tolles und freundliches Personal

The location was fantastic for exploring the local area on foot
Location, location, location. Good service
NA
Location, staff and price
Beds too hard…
Location and well staffed, tidy little room
I guess the view from the window was internal so you looked on to a service area
The location is good, room have decent space, breakfast is nice.
The staff are not helpful it clear have classism. I’ve booked hotel in London before never been treated that bad. The hotel is like maze got lost easy. The room can use more deep cleaning the back of the fridge and tv full of dust and some other places bad for someone with allergies like me sleeping wasn’t good.
Kensington
The Staff weren’t that helpful, everything we asked at check in seemed to be a problem because we booking through booking.com, they referenced it a few times.
La ubicación
El tamaño de la habitación. Era muy chica y el baño super apretado.
Excellent location, room was well laid out with everything we needed . Clean with a great shower fluffy towels and toiletries . We liked the eco element of just asking for additional items like toothbrushes etc only if you needed them . Room was nice and quiet.
The bed was a little firm but didn’t detract from our stay . Ideally we could have done with a usb charger point as we only bought leads and not a plug .
The breakfast was satisfactory better than expected after the evening meal in the bar was not very nice and expensive
The room was small and poor decor with small uncomfortable beds - very poor value for the price. The second room was not much better than the first room but had a little more space. It was so horrible we were unable to relax in our room in the evening as planned.
The location is fabulous
Rude staff, woken up unnecessary by cleaner wanting to clean on Sunday at 9am. Steam room, jacuzzi, not working in gym/swim area. Room scruffy, stains on carpet, sharp tiles on bathroom floor.
Un poco la ubicacion y en la pieza habia café
Las piezas pequeñas que no cabiamos con las maletas y no pidiamos desplazarnos dentro de la pieza. Los closet pequeñosimos. Tuvimos que pagar upgrade de 60 euros por noche pero nos rebajaron a 40 por noche porque no cabiamos. En nuestra pieza 3104 no funcionama el internet.
All lights, door locks, and fixtures worked seamlessly
Easy to find, easy to book, and easy to leave
Staff really helpful and friendly 10 out of 10
N/A
Çalışanlar çok iyi ve ilgili. Tesis genel anlamda temiz ve güzel. Konumu merkezi. Metro ve otobüs duraklarına çok yakin. National history museum, v&a museum gibi müzelere ve hyde park'a yürüme mesafesinde. Etrafında bir çok mağaza, market ve restoran var.
Bizim kaldığımız oda biraz küçüktü ama idare eder. Çok eşyası olmayan iki kisi için fena değil. Kahvaltı çeşitliliği iyi ve doyurucu olmasına rağmen ürünlerin lezzeti tartışılır ama herkesin damak zevki farklıdır bir şey diyemem.
Very crowded large hotel, good breakfast
Reception staff could do better
Bed is comfortable
Breakfast staff cannot permit us to rake away while already included breakfast
Im Schrank waren zusätzliche Kissen ordentlich aufgereiht
Soap and fresh towels were ready on the counter
Location amazing - size of my room was great Breakfast was fun
Not clean, things not working in the room, some appliances had no access because of height position ( a make up mirror hanged at 180cm Lighting is not pleasant
Everything about the hotel, location, cleanliness and staffing. Thank you for the hospitality and the great service
All goods
Arrival was smooth even though I checked in late at night
Public transportation stops were just a short stroll away
Housekeeping did a neat job refreshing the space daily
A very sensible choice for a quick overnight business trip
Location
The staff wasn’t very helpful and the brakefast was not all worth the money
Les espaces publics était bien propre et serviable, grand petit-déjeuné beaucoup de table dressé et propre
Notre chambre était vraiment très petite pour 4 étoiles, depluis la salle de bin était tout juste utilisable. Le tapis était tout taché, plein de tache de peinture sur les toilettes et un peu partout dans la salle de bain. Le bouton de la casse était cassé et le carreau ne tenait plus ... La piscine ferme trop tôt le weekend
Sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr freundliches Personal
Uns hat alles gefallen
Likes location for theatre and pleasant area
Staff were rude, false promises of having rooms on same floor when we arrived to them be told no and would have to wait even longer past check in to have rooms on same level. Felt like a hinderance to the reception staff. Breakfast staff equally rude, just felt like the staff do not enjoy their jobs!
The location is great, very convenient to get to Holland park, various shops and restaurants from the hotel. The breakfast is very good, lots of things to choose from. The room was cosy, not big, but we didn't need much space, as we stayed only for one night. Useful to have a small fridge, which was inside the wardrobe.
The door to the bathroom, not easy to open and close. And the bath itself was not particularly convenient to 'climb' into.
Location
No air humid old rooms
Breakfast very good. 9/10. Vast selection, good quality, friendly welcome. Dining room possibly improvable. Location very good. 9/10. Very good position in nice area. Fitness Center good 8/10. Clean, not busy, good equipment.
Room. 5/10 (cleanliness ok, bed confort good, really too small, no chair, no space for luggage, etc...)
Good hotel in a good location with Tube Station, cafes and shops nearby.
Room had a large bed which was great but the bed butted upto the wardrobes and moving was difficult. Because the room was tight on space the TV should be able to pivot and watch from the bed!
Hôtel à proximité de tout. Le personnel est au top. Je recommande.
RAS
Great water flow in the shower made mornings much better
Clean and welcoming
Room was quite small/ small bathroom
The location is super central. Easy to go around. We stayed for Ariana's concert that we're attending for 2 days.
Rooms are smaller than pictures. We had to hop on the bed to go around. And had to move some furniture to open our big luggages
The room was dusted and cleaned properly before I got there
Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was tasty and well presented.
Bed was very hard. I couldn't move the grab rails in the shower down 😕. No plug in the low level sink. Bathroom bin too small for incontinence products. Nobody answered the phone for 2 minutes in the morning so I could have help with my suitcase.
Amazing front office team- Injyin, Roshani, Georgia and Helen were very accommodating.

Localização
Havia um barulho externo de máquinas. Solicitei uma mudança de quarto. Fui atendida prontamente, são muito simpáticos,prestativos e educados, porém esse outro quarto me apresentou alguns problemas, mas resolvi deixar para lá, pois o resto foi muito bom.
Friendly staff
Convenience to Kensington tube station.
Postage-stamp sized rooms. Bathroom sink/storage was only big enough for a toothbrush. Someone else’s docks left in the room. Rude concierges.
Facilities especially Starbucks and lovely staff
Room very small unable to walk around bed no view/ outlook.
Bathroom was modern, spotless, and had good water pressure
Loved everything apart from the room
I booked a twin room months in advance, but on arrival was told they don't have twin rooms, so why wasn't I emailed about this and why do they advertise twin rooms if they don't do them, the room was so small we had to squeeze past the bed, wasn't impressed at all
Staff members were polite and kept their interactions brief
Amazing decor
The place that Yh is in the room is awkward
Breakfast was very good
Access to health club was good
Bedroom very small
The front desk team greeted me politely upon arrival
Housekeeping did a neat job refreshing the space daily
Great location, very reasonably priced for location and amenities. Friendly staff
Location was good, close to tube station
Room was quite small

Smallest room possible to stay for 2 people
Awesome location, great breakfast
Zeer goede locatie, goed ontbijt en vriendelijk personeel. Parkeren is beveiligd onder het hotel wat zeer fijn is. Hotel ligt ook heel dicht bij een underground station.
Les infrastructures, la proprete, la gentilesse du personnel
Bruyant cote rue et entre les chambres.
Great location nice facilities
Room small, bathroom very small

Location
We specifically booked a twin room as I am a middle aged man and my daughter (13) is Autistic and needs her own space. Despite contacting the hotel beforehand to confirm our needs and the booking, when we arrived I was told that there was only a double room available for us. This caused great anxiety. Staff did provide a pull out bed which did suffice but I felt it was bad form. So, after everything, the absolute best I could say is that the hotel 'sufficed'
Everything was amazing
It was generally OK, although no restaurant for evening meals only bar menu
There wasn't anything as such that we didn't like
الغرف غير نظيفه ابدا . التراب في اماكن عديده من الغرفه.. والاثاث قديم في الغرف
Perfect location, extremely welcoming and helpful staff
The location and the facilities!
The size of the elevators, the size of the bathroom and that you have no door person to assist with luggage. Never once was I asked by staff if I needed assistance with getting my luggage up to my room and when leaving. I was traveling with a toddler on my own and had quite a bit of stuff.
Location was fantastic, the staff were excellent, beds were comfortable, very good accommodation.
The location and the secret garden
The size of the room
Loved how close it was to public transport and that checkout was 12.
Nothing.
Fantastic location. Great bar.
Room was very small
The hotel was in an excellent location with good facilities.
Excellent and safe location, delicious breakfast, great facilities all round. Will stay again.
Room was small but no problem
