A basic but comfortable room. There was a TV, kettle and coffee maker in the room. We were on the fifth floor at the back the view was nice and not too close to other buildings of the same height. Perfectly located for visiting the local museums and parks and just strolling round taking in the culture. Staff were very helpful when there was an issue with the TV not working. I used the WhatsApp messaging service and they replied quickly.

I recently stayed at Bob W Kensington, and the property has the makings of a truly elegant boutique hotel. Its location in central London is excellent, with easy access to wonderful restaurants, shopping, and transportation routes, making it a very convenient base for exploring the city. That said, the property still seems to be in a transitional phase. Perhaps because it is a newly acquired location that has not yet been fully assimilated into the brand, several amenities and services advertised in the booking were not currently available during my stay. Additionally, while the staff were friendly and polite, they were quite scarce and often difficult to find when assistance was needed. With a bit more operational polish and the full rollout of its advertised offerings, the property has the potential to become a lovely boutique destination in Kensington.

I would give this property zero star. There is no receptionist or staff that can assist with anything. The room is different from the photo. No body wash available. The worse is there is 1 night that someone is knocking on our door telling that he is the security and he is hearing noises in our room. We did not open as it is very creepy since there were no noise as we were sleeping. Then he came back, knocking on the door next to us and saying he's been seeing smoke in the window. The girl opened the door but we gave notice that we are calling the police. Then next thing I heard he was gone. And we are calling the number of the property on WhatsApp since that was the instruction on the email, but it gave prompt that this has no WhatsApp. Texted but no reply. We really had a bad experience with this hotel. If we opened the door, we could have been dead. This property has no security. Nothing. Don't fall for this.

Stay away!!! I think it’s being used as a brothel, no sound isolation at all. Had a horrible stay. Did not get to change rooms even when I described how the neighbor was extremely noisy while being intimate, throughout the day. They suggested I’d get earplugs. Did not have functional internet, they said they couldn’t help with that, had to use my phone as hotspot to get the TV to work at all. They were not very nice to talk with either. It ruined my trip by far, never experienced such bad customer service before. They said it was not permitted to use the rooms for such services, yet they just let it be and didn’t care at all that I had to listen to that all the stay through. I’m amazed how bad this stay turned out. Happy it’s all over, will never ever come back to any bob w! Bed was good though.

Enkelt att hitta och ta sig in, perfekt boende om man vill bo centralt och nära till kommunikationer (vi kunde ta Piccadilly line direkt från Heathrow) när restauranger och Tesco. Rummet var i minsta laget men användes i princip bara för att sova sen va vi ute hela dagarna. Badrummet var bra storlek men kunde önskat någon typ av förvaringsutrymme där inne. Överlag ett bra och prisvärt hotell med tanke på läge och närhet till kommunikationer.

ESTADIA PÉSSIMA ! Foi a quinta vez na cidade e ficamos 11 dias em um local extremamente despreparado para chamar de hotel. A propriedade não possui recepção e os hospédes falam com whats app através de um robô. Qdo vc encontra um funcionário, ele não te ajuda. O quarto não possui ar condicionado, não possui frigobar, a janela abre 10 cm, a cama é bem desconfortável e pequena para um casal e o banheiro mal conseguimos tomar banho, devido a minúscula cápsula do chuveiro. A limpeza do quarto foi cobrada 47 libras / dia. O único ponto positivo: localização.
