Kensington Rooms London

This simply has to be the worst hotel that we have stayed in. The bedroom was very small the room that apparently was the en suite was no bigger than the size of a three seater sofa. You cannot get around it you can't sit down properly the sink is in the way the shower is a very small and you can't bend over in it either. The staff were not helpful and full of bad colds. The taxi that the hotel booked for us fleeced us in the fair. Our destination was only less that 2mile away and her tried to get £22 for the longer route that he said wasrequired because of heavy traffic. The bblack cab on the way back even after midnight was only just over £10. I would not recommend this hotel.

Perfect location, Gloucester Rd tube just around the corner. Sainsbury's opposite for any bits you may need and a couple of restaurants too. The room we stayed in was plenty for us not huge amounts of space, but for two nights it wasn't necessary and we weren't spending much time in the room. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends!

The room was fine. BUT .... don't pay attention to the talks of the neighbours in the corridor AND don't be a rugby-player if you want to move in the bathroom. Overall it is convenient if you need to be in this area of London, and that's why I COULD (not I would) consider recommending this hotel to a friend..

So, we were there during the Olympics, I am not sure what the normal rates are, but for the rate, the value was so, so. It was a maze to get to our room - literally walking up and down stairs and many 5+ hallways and fire doors. We are mobile and young so for us this was not a problem. The closest Tube/Underground station was Glochester Road which was about .25 miles or a 3 minute walk away. You can buy breakfast for between 5 and 7 Pounds, the internet is only free downstairs, but it is high speed. Internet in the room will cost you 9 pounds per day. Bathroom was my least favorite with the window not opening (but when you do usually get a window in a hotel bathroom anyway?), and the tub/shower being tricky and a balance act to get in and out of - - little scary. Bed was OK. There were ample outlets - you will need UK adapters! The location was safe and convenient with a small market, tour bus company and restaurants and tube very nearby. Overall, a good stay. Staff is also helpful and accomadating to special requests when you are nice :)

The room was clean and total experience was ok. Everything went smoothly. We can recommend this hotel if you don't need anything special but only good basic accommodation.

Due to a heat wave our room would have done better if it had an ac unit. No access to a window also made it difficult to affect the temp.

First impressions were OK and room looked stylish. However things went wrong early on. The TV had three channels, one of which was in black and white, despite the fact the system was digital with a freeview box somewhere. The TV switcher was connected to the bedside table by a cord - making customers feel they are treated as potential thieves. In the bathroom, the shower head was not connected up, and the shampoo/shower gel dispenser was located as far away from the shower and the sink as was humanely possible (ie in the opposite corner of the room!). The lift was out of order for 2 of the 3 days. Basically we had a very poor experience and will not stay there again.

Excellent for the price. Located in beautiful South Kensington, near the tube, good and cheap restaurants and cafes, but for people who are on the move the whole day. London is fantastic, but where are the English? By the way, I was counting the Aston Martins. Don't forget to visit the Imperial War Museum. I go every time I,m in London. Enjoy...

While the room was small, we had our own bathroom (many places in this price range only had shared facilities -- horrors!).

Hotelli oli hinta/laatu suhteeltaan hyvä. Huone oli siisti ja tilava. Hotellin sijainti on erinomainen, hyvien kulkuyhteyksien takia. Lähistöltä löytyy runsaasti ruokapaikkoja ja kauppoja. Metro sekä bussipysäkki myös aivan hotellin tuntumassa. Huoneet siivottiin säännöllisesti joka päivä, jolloin mm. pyyhkeet vaihdettiin ja kahvitarjoilu täydennettiin. Huonona puolena voi mainita, että vaikka hotellin kuvauksessa mainitaan "Vapaa-ajan tiloihin kuuluvat uima-allas, sauna, kylpylä ja kuntosali", ei kyseisiä tiloja etsinnöistä huolimatta löytynyt.. Ainakin meidän ollessa hotellissa, oli siellä remontti kesken, tosin mitään ylimääräisiä ääniä ei huoneeseen kantautunut. Kaiken kaikkiaan suosittelisin hotellia, mikäli on tulossa Lontooseen matkalle, jolloin ei vietä koko päiväänsä hotellissa.
