Great place to stay

Really lovely staff, who were all friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, and beds very comfortable. We appreciated the air con in the room on a warm weekend! Great location too, and a short walk away from the underground. We enjoyed our stay at K Hotel Kensington, and would return.

Hotel OK, but nothing special. Bear in mind that it is located on a main thoroughfare therefore not the best location if you require a good night's sleep whilst there.

Excellently placed for Gloucester Rd Tube Station. I had large spacious room 221. Clean, hot water, quiet inside. VERY noisy outside. Cromwell Rd busy all night with heavy traffic .I'm used to it but not for someone who's noise sensitive. It was like sleeping on hard shoulder! Bring photo Id even if your from UK

I was given a room on 0 floor, by the road which was noisy; I couldn’t sleep very well not happy about that. Also, the heating system didn’t work properly blowing air although I set it but not good and noisy. The TV not working. All in all not happy. And Staff not very pleasant.

I stayed at K Hotel Kensington for an extended period. The rooms are average by UK standards with en suite bathrooms. It as exceptionally clean. The staff was friendly, efficient and accommodating. It has a breakfast for a few which I did not try. It is in a great location minutes from Gloucester Road tube station and a short walk to Kensington High Street and Hyde Park. I would stay again.

Good place to stay

I thought the hotel was lovely and very clean. The staff were helpful and accommodating. The room was quite small but adequate. Unfortunately the room overlooked a main road and the noise at night was quite bad, especially the Saturday night when a person in a very loud and noisy car decided to keep driving up and down the road for some time, this of course is not the fault of the hotel
