Rip Off Hotel Indigo London at Kensington

When we checked in the air conditioning did not work in the hotel. We informed the manager that we would check out the next morning because the AC did not work and there was a summer heat wave. We asked to speak to the manager who was no where to be found for 2 days. We checked out and 2 days later they charged us for 2 nights even though we spent only 1 night at the hotel. No concern, no caring, no hospitality and terrible customer service. Rip off hotel!

The room was quaint-very typical "British" feeling-small for 2 but sufficient since we weren't in the room but to sleep. The bathroom was ok...the shower was not ideal. The handheld shower head mount was coming off the wall--and you couldn't take a shower without water getting on the floor outside the shower. It was nice that it had both an overhead and handheld shower heads, though! Breakfast was only ok, but that's probably more a personal preference. If purchased ahead of time there is a significant savings. It includes a nice continental breakfast combined with ordering off the "hot menu". The coffee was good-espresso, cappuccino, or just coffee is included unless you order a la carte. The location is very close to the Earl's Court Underground station which can take you to just about anywhere in London you want to go. Hotel is also only a mile or so from the "museum district" so very walkable which was nice. Several places to eat between the hotel and the Underground-fast food and sit down. Amanda at the front desk was delightful! She helped make our stay a pleasure and was very helpful with directions, etc.!

Wonderful breakfast with great service and staff. A shout out to Anjali, Shanel, Sharven, Richard and Henry who were very helpful and professional! We stayed there for five nights and found the location perfect with a number of nearby restaurants and a super close tube station. The rooms are well appointed. However the shower drain was not good and the shower floor design so flawed that the only way to avoid an overflow was to interrupt the shower every minute or two to allow the water to drain.

I booked a Premier Queen room 27m-32m. On arrival at the property I was optomistic as it's in a great location and the building is beautiful. We were allocated a room in the basement and on entry into the room I was really disappointed by how small it was. The bathroom was very tired, the door was in a terrible state with damage due to damp, and there were no hooks or a towel rail so nowhere to hang wet towels. Due to the location of the room, there was a lot of noise due to being near a staff area and looked out onto the area where the bins are located. I have stayed in many Indigo properties and I was really disappointed with this stay.

So this was my second time staying here within one week. I went to Liverpool for three days in between the two states. Come back the gentleman at the desk actually remembered me and yet assigned me to a room that I can only describe as a dungeon. Literally underground with a window that looked out into an interior courtyard where there was scaffolding. Had to step up into the bathroom. It was awful. The bed was like a rock. The pillows were worse and it was to say the least not a good deal. London is one of those cities with thousands and thousands of options so this will not be one that I will choose again.

The room was small and cramped and there was a TV installed on a table at the foot of the bed making the room even more cramped. The AC wasn't working properly in my room and there was a large fan taking up even more space. The hotel felt run down too. So disappointing. I loved this hotel 2 years ago. I won't return.
