The rooms are small not good for family but good for couples. Beware that this is new hotel a lot of amenities are not properly installed yet. The bathroom with bathtub has really awkward glass door, can't open and can't get in, once you get in you will find hard time to get out. Overall nice, new, perfect location, quiet, staffs are friendly.

TV did not work; I mentioned to staff, and they said it was an IT issue. The room was too hot, and no one checked it. The lift is not working... going to the fourth floor is an adventure. Not good. Friendly staff

Ellen Kensignton is brand new, beautiful and spotless clean. The location is also great and reception staff were nice! There were 2 negative points though: the room was too small (it's ok for 1 person but small for 2). When you book in hotrels.com it doesn't say the size (in sq metres), only that there is a kind bed. The photos in hotels.com platform were photos of obviously bigger rooms (but in the category that I chose to book). The 2nd point is that the FIRE ALARM goes off every time a guest has a very hot shower. This needs to be sorted, because not only it scares people, but also one wants to be able to sleep in on the weekend, right? I stayed in the hotel from Thu evening til Sunday afternoon and it happened 3 times (including at 7am on Friday and 8am on Sunday).
