A good deal for the location. For the price in London, you can't do too much better. The room and bath were SMALL but clean. The hairdryer did not work well and the shower did not drain very well. However, the staff was very helpful, the lobby was reasonably attractive and modern in style, and it was quiet. The bed was comfortable. I would stay there […] again if I were planning to be in South Kensington. Skaityti daugiau

This is a typical small room expensive hotel in London. If you are staying for a few days you would be better staying out a bit and getting something better for the price. In saying that, it's still safe and clean with good service. Just felt like we were staying in a single room in a backpackers...

We booked the hotel for my mother in law's 60th birthday as we were going to see a show. The rooms were tiny, there was one wardrobe that you could hang about 3 items in and no drawer space. The taps and shower in our room were the wrong way around, you had to turn on the cold to get hot and vice versa. The lift in the premises holds about 3 people […] with luggage and seems to pick it's own floors. On the daty of checkout we called the lift and had to wait about 10 minutes for it to arrive so we could get in, I kid you not! TV was tiny and we could get about 4 channels with no interference. There were no curtains and just a a blind on the single glazed window so being next to a main road you can hear abit of traffic. Skaityti daugiau

I enjoyed my stay at Kensington Rooms. The location was great, close access to the tube, and within walking distance to many of the city's attractions. Room size was decent for one person. Staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint would be the main street next to the hotel was very loud at all times of the day, making it hard to sleep. My suggestion […] would be to ask for a room opposite the street side. Skaityti daugiau

Of course the rooms are small, but all London hotel rooms probably are. I was by myself, so I didn't mind that. The only thing I didn't really appreciate was the traffic noise just outside my window, even though I was up on the third floor. The radiator was a bit noisy and three out of five television channels didn't come in too well. But it's very […] close to the Gloucester Underground Station and there are some nice pubs in the surrounding area (Stanhope Arms was excellent, just down the street). Kensington's staff was generally very nice to me and it was a secure, clean place. It seemed rather expensive, at least for me, but the location is worth it if you're coming out to London for a holiday. Skaityti daugiau

Female Staff at the reception were a little rude at all times and not very helpfull and need customer services lessions , great location room a little bit small but didnt mind because it was clean and just what we expected for a short stay ,would recommend to my friends

My room looked just like the photos on the 2nd floor, and my room faced Gloucester street. Clean, quiet and spacious. Very close to the tube and a large supermarket. On thing to note is that b/c it's an older building, the lift takes you to the 2nd floor, but there are half flights leading from the lift (going up or down) to floors that are still considered […] the same floor. It was a little difficult to lift and heave my 40lb suitcase up a flight of stairs. Otherwise, no complaints. There are tons of boutique hotels on Gloucester including large American hotel chains. South Kensington is very safe to walk in during the day and evening hours. Skaityti daugiau

really small room with little leg room but a huge bed. shower is choking so you have to wait a while for the water to flow before continuing to shower. took the lift up and there is still some stairs so may be troublesome for those with a lot of luggage. did not have free breakfast but we went to a cafe near the metro and had buffet breakfast for 5 […] euros. there is also a supermarket nearby where we bought our picnic stuffs. nearby sights include natural history museum and V&A museum.

Great location! Tiny room. So much so that I think my walk-in closet is larger than that hotel room. I'd expected that breakfast would be included; it wasn't. With only 2.5 channels on TV, in-room entertainment was pretty much non-existent. The Do-Not-Disturb sign on the door was ignored by staff one day.

Small room with small shower, but very clean. Only a few blocks away from the tube.

Great location we walked everywhere or caught the train which was 2 blocks down the road. The room was surprisingly bigger than we expected the only let down was that there was no fridge in the room or ice machine.

About a 5 minute walk from the Gloucester Rd Underground station. The neighborhood is a bit quiet, which was just fine for us. The room was clean and comfortable, but with a very large bed there wasnt much room for dancing. One problem was that the cleaning lady came in rather unannounced one morning around 10am. Overall, very pleased.

My last day in the UK after spending 5 weeks working and living on a golf course and 3 weeks driving through Ireland, Wales, England, and Scotland was spent in this hotel. I wanted something reasonable and comfortable for my only night in London. The hotel was in a fairly good location. I found parking on the street immediately after arriving. The guy […] at the front desk just looked at me when I walked in and the girl was much more helpful in getting me checked in. You have to turn in your key when you leave which is a little annoying. More annoying was that the second time I came back, I just gave my room number to a new guy working the desk and he handed me the key without asking my name or checking ID. The room was as small as other reviewers have mentioned. Two people could not comfortably walked around the bed. I had to stack my suitcases on top of each other just to have enough room. The window was wide open when we got there so I closed it up when we left to get some food. When we got back the room smelled horrible. I tracked the smell to the bathroom so maybe they were having some sewer gas problems. I opened up the window and closed the bathroom door for the remainder of the stay. The bed looked nice but was nowhere near as comfortable as the bed & breakfasts that we had been staying in. Actually, the beds in the guest houses in Great Yarmouth were better than this. The next morning we went to have breakfast. I prepaid for a full English. We got there about 920 and they were about to seat us no problem until they saw we had a full English coupon. The lady said that they were closing at 930 and our breakfast would take at least 20 minutes to cook. I told her no problem and we could get a refund on the tickets and eat somewhere else. She huffed and said she would take care of it. It was not more than 5-6 minutes when we had our breakfast. After breakfast we went to take showers and get ready to leave. There was an iron and ironing board at the top of the landin Skaityti daugiau

great place to stay - will definitely stay again...nothing fancy but perfect for london....location is super handy with proximity to tube station - room was great - bathroom a wee bit small but didn't bother me at all. i've stayed at many hotels in london and this one is one of the best for value for money

When we arrived, the front desk lady informed us that we were upgraded! Nice surprise. The rooms were large and beautiful. Free wi-fi in lobby. Very close to Gloucester underground station. You can't print your bordering pass unless you email it to their website and after spending a while on it, they couldn't find my email. This was the only frustrating […] event, otherwise the stay was nice. Good luggage storage system. Skaityti daugiau

At best a glorified youth hostel. Claustrophobic rooms.Terribly stuffy corridors with dusty carpets Awful breakfast layed out on what looked like a camping table set up in a hallway.The breakfast experience reminded us of school trips as a child.We even got a ticket that we had to hand in on receiving our meal.Tap water served with tasteless and old […] food.The furniture in the hotel were old,stained and musty.The effort of trying to make the hotel look hip and modern put me at mind of a nightclub in day light. All over a bad experience Skaityti daugiau

I booked a single room. This was much too small. the washhand basin was partly overhanging the toilet bowl. as a man it was impossible to stand and use toilet. the shower was also cramped im only 5 10 and 11 7lbs i dont know how a bigger person would have coped. Islept very poorly all 4 nights. i complained to the manageress she offered me a different […] single which was even smaller so i stayed where i was.i only ask for a decent nights sleep and a functioning bathroom on these two points the hotel failed.

This hotel was as we expected. All was in order when we arrived. Heat wave in London the 1st day made sleeping tough with no A/C, but that passed. Access to all venues via tube, bus or walking was right there - good neighborhood for restaurants, shopping and banks. Hotel staff was fine - especially Andrea. She helped us get started on our 1st day […] - tips, arrangements, etc. - also wonderful with getting to the airport on final day - critical! Very friendly, smiling and quick-thinking. Small mention - we would have liked washcloths in the bath. Thanks for making our 1st London stay easy. Ginny & Dan from Minnesota Skaityti daugiau

We had a one night stay at the Kensington Rooms. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The location was ideal for our purposes. On the morning of departure, we were able to leave our case there, and returned about 5pm for it. We wanted to change our clothes and were offered facilities to do this. Overall, […] I found it very satisfactory and would stay again. Skaityti daugiau

I checked into Kennsington Rooms after checking out of a very run down hotel within walking distance of the British Museum. When I saw the well kept rooms and the spaciousness I breathed a huge sigh of relief. It is also just a short walk away from an Underground Station which made my London touring days very easy. I have only 2 complaints: breakfast […] was not included and the receptionist was quite cool on the day I checked out. Other than that I absolutely loved this hotel and would stay in it again.

My husband and I arrived at the Kensington Rooms hotel very late in the evening after traveling from the US (which essentially means we were on a plane all day). After we navigated through the dark, dingy halls of the hotel we came upon our room, opened the door and much to our surprise were terribly disappointed. The room was dark and dingy (to match […] the halls) TINY (and I booked the mid size accomodations) and not at all luxurious. The bed was hard as a rock and I would not consider what the provided as "premium bedding" and there was not a pillowtop mattress (I sleep on a feather bed with down pillows at home - so I know premium and comfort). When I attempted to wash my face prior to turning in for the evening there was no hot water. The next morning while showering - the shower door did not seal so I had a puddle on the floor. The satellite service provided maybe 5 channels but the TV did not work correctly so it really did not matter how many channels. There was not enough room to walk between the bed and the TV stand to get to the bathroom - we had to turn sideways and only 1 at a time. There was no place to put luggage. The complimentary toiletries (which is why I always bring my own) were plastic packets of shampoo/body wash (all in one). Not my idea of something I am putting on my hair. The hair dryer was ANCIENT and attached to the wall by the desk (not in the bathroom where most people get ready for the day) . It was so ancient that it did not work. I went to the front desk in the morning and they quickly handed over a real hairdryer. Apparently this is a common problem. The rooms are secured by actual keys and there is really no security to the building at all. People can walk in and out as they please with no questions asked. In our short 10 hours we managed to lock ourselves out of the room twice. So, needless to say....we checked out after 1 night of our 5 night stay. (if it had not been so late when we checked in we would not have stayed the 1 night) Skaityti daugiau

For the area, this hotel had fairly good rates. However, it was a really small room, really small bathroom, uncomfortable bed, etc and we opened the window for air circulation. There was also a horrid smell half the time. The positive aspect about such a room was that it encouraged us to stay out and about in London!

Service was employee dependent (young morning guy was great; French girl in the evening was beyond rude). Room condition was OK. Blinds didn't reach the bottom of the sill, leaving six inches of unimpeded daylight. The showerhead was too low and managed to spray the whole bathroom. Overall though, it was decent and clean, albeit on the small side.

It was a fab location, easy access to heathrow, and to tourist spots. Lots of restaurants close by. Room was very dusty and did not match the website pictures. Overall was satisfied and would recommend it.

Hotel was nice, great for a one night stay in the city and it's just a couple blocks from the underground. Not elderly/disabled friendly though as the elevator would come to a stairs landing, then you'd have to walk up about 8 steps (with your bags) to the hallway (which were the width of a large suit case). Breakfast was very good and staff was he […] lpful. Skaityti daugiau

I'll start off saying the good point of this hotel. It is quiet central, down the road from the tube station, close to several shops and restaurants etc. However, having requested a quiet room, we were given what has to be the worlds smallest hotel room I have ever seen. There was a double bed jammed up against a wall and apx 1 foot of room on the other […] side and end of the bed. When myself and my husband were both standing in the room at the same time, we could not pass each other. The bathroom was a joke. When sitting on the toilet your knees are hitting the sink. When bending over to wash your hands your bum hits the door behind you and to get into the shower you need to limber up for a few minutes before to twist and contort your body sideways to shimmy into it. Trying to use shower gel or shampoo your hair results in your elbows being knocked off the sides several times. Getting out of the shower there is absolutely no room to dry yourself. The double bed had a severe dip in the middle. This hotel is definitely not worth the money. It is really not the place you want to be heading back to after a long day sightseeing in London. My advice is to steer clear of this place and spend the extra few pounds and stay somewhere nicer. Skaityti daugiau

I was a little worried about a hotel this cheap in SW London, but this place was fine. Clean all around, friendly help at the front desk (literally went out of their way to help me), free wifi in lobby, comfy (albeit twin-sized) bed, TV in room, etc. It was definitely minimalist- there was barely any space in the room (I was amused at the cheap venetian […] blinds and single styrofoam cup in the bathroom), but for one person staying alone and not requiring luxury, it was totally fine. Location wasn't quite central, but it was a quick walk to the Natural History Museum, and a longer (but doable) walk to Kensington Gardens or Harrod's. There is wifi in the rooms, too, but it's not free. I'd happily stay here again. Closest tube station is Gloucester Street, on the Piccadilly line, which also goes to Heathrow, King's Cross, etc. Skaityti daugiau

Nice hotel though room was small ( but this is typical). Staff was friendly and very helpful. 3 blocks from Underground so convenient to get around. Neighborhood was very nice, had restaurants and money changers just across the street. Short walk (about 3/4 miles to Harrods. Easy to get to hotel from Heathrow (just take the Underground to Gloucester […] Rd exit. Internet not available in room, must use the lobby. Skaityti daugiau

A nice place to stay if you want to spend few days in London. Very close to the circle and picadilly lines and at a walking distance from Hyde Park. Basic and clean room but very, very small. We got a room on the main street and it was not quite at all. Internet service available -for free- only in the lobby.

Kensington Rooms is a reasonably priced, comfortable, but no frills hotel. It was a five minute walk to the Underground and Earls Court. The room itself was comfortable but very basic. Since I was only in my room to sleep, this suited me just fine. My only complaint was the lack of wifi in the room but the wifi in the lobby worked perfectly. I would […] stay here again.

This hotel was very clean and comfortable. The front desk was helpful and friendly. The wireless internet worked well in the lobby. I would stay here again.

Extremely disappointed.Room is like a pigoen hole.Its just one feet wider than the bed.Where to keep the baggage?And the WC is beneath the wash sink.Claustrophobic,dangerous-one could get hurt easily manevouring the in the tiny roon and even while using the closet.how could the london municipality allow for such a small room hazardously structured.Please […] avoid staying here Skaityti daugiau

absolutely no complaints about this hotel. it's close to the Gloucester Road tube stop and it was the best bargain i could find in the area. the hotel was super clean. would stay here again!

Hotel is fine for those just wanting to crash for the night(s). Paying extra for breakfast was unexpected and either missed or unclear in the hotel description. Real bummer? No internet to speak of. Nothing in the room and in the lobby very slow and only partially working. This really was upsetting as the advertised complimentary internet was the deciding […] factor for staying here. The reception staff are not even allowed to print out a travel ticket for clients and they have no internet access either. Skaityti daugiau

100% value to the money. Opposite to Indian restaurant. Very big room size when compare with many more hotels. Very close to two Tube Stations and well connectivity. requirements. Best for business stays. We will strongly recommend this hotel. Looking forward to tie-up with the hotel for all our future

The staff were very friendly and the hotel tried to present itself as very hip, but it was an odd place. It seems to be several buildings they put together into a hotel. What other explanation could there be for the 6 fire doors I had to go through between the elevator and my room. On the plus side, my room was very large and had ample armoire space. […] On the minus side was the lack of internet service in the rooms, a lackluster breakfast, and the narrow and sort of dingy hallways. The Ashburn, which is one block away, is a much nicer hotel for more or less the same price (although the rooms are much smaller). Skaityti daugiau

The rooms need new carpets and the TV table is a shocker!! Room was clean and comfotable.

I booked this hotel for 1 night as I was going to a concert at the Royal Albert hall. For this, the hotel was ideally located within walking distance , but you may prefer to get a taxi if you're in high hells or if it's raining (Black cab cost us just under £4). We had a twin room which, although not massive - was plenty big enough for 2 friends - the […] bathroom actually had a bath which was a nice surprise and everything was clean and seemed in good repair. The corridors were a bit of a maze but as you may expect for a property of this type. The staff were really friendly, we were allowed to check in earlier than the advertised check in time and we also left our bags at the hotel on the day we checked out to save us dragging our cases around with us. All in all a great stay and I would recommend to others. Skaityti daugiau

This was in a nice area, with an easy walk to the subway. The rooms were clean with attractive modern decor and the beds were comfortable enough. The bathrooms were spacious and modern. But I thought it was overpriced. The staff were not the least bit friendly or helpful and either there was no lobby or the lobby was being used for a private affair. […] Also, on the day of check out, 3 different people either unlocked and entered my room or knocked to see about checking out. Talk about feeling thrown out! No warm and fuzzies here! Skaityti daugiau

The hotel is nice but at night it's very noisy with the quite important traffic on Cromwell road. Difficult to sleep with ambulances and so on... One side of the bed being against the wall, difficult to get out of it if you don't want to disturb your partner.

Good location,friendly staff. Much better value than other hotels in the area. I would also book it in the future.

Before I booked my rooms I read the reviews of this hotel and they were mixed. But after comparing locations and features of hotel of similar price, I selected Kensington Rooms without much expectation. The hotel is located about 10 mins walk from Glocester Road tube station which is in London Zone 1 and very convenient to get to most tourist destination. […] The room was small (long and narrow) but clean, and it came with a small bathroom as well. There was a small TV, wardrobe, desk and double bed. Since I didn't expect much I was quite satisfied with the room except 1 thing - my room was located on Level 1 facing Cromwell Road (a major road with traffic) and it can be quite noisy at night (especially if there is ambulance or police car at night). Other than this I think this is a hotel that offers good value especially if you compare this to the Holiday Inn down the road and what they would charge for a room. Skaityti daugiau

Vi bodde 3 personer på et rom - ground floor. Helt fint, rent og hyggelig frokost. Pent nabolag og 5 min. til Glouchester Rd - Circle Line.
