Clean and quiet property, met our needs. Only downside was there was no lift so we had to lug luggage down and up a few flights of stairs.

We enjoyed our stay! Lots of restaurants and subway stations on walking distance. We stayed on the top floor, which with heavy suitcases was a bit of challenge

The hotel itself did not have a reception desk and it was all done through the hotel next door. They were very friendly. The room was quite small. Barely enough room to move around. Not like the photo that was shown.

I’ve stayed here before. This time I booked a twin/single room. Very tiny, but efficient and ok for two nights. Had a nice view over the square. Fairly quiet at night. However…the last time I stayed, I was annoyed by the doors which slam shut if you’re not careful. This time on Both nights I jumped several times with this happening due to inconsiderate or unaware neighbours. Last time, I had recommended putting up discrete signage to encourage guests to be considerate, but that did not happen. And, as with all these older historical properties footfall and other noises can easily be heard despite the carpeting. So, if you’re sensitive to noise, there are issues here.

Lovely hotel for the money. Minutes from the tube station. Very clean and comfortable. If driving, it’s worth pre booking somewhere through a parking app.

Nice, clean, well located. The only downside, and this is a big issue, there is no elevator and the whole property is not accessible. Our room was on the fourth floor, the staircase is tiny and if you have any larger luggage it is painful to get up or down. Other than that it is a fantastic location.

We liked the location of the hotel, but the hotel was very misleading online. It states reception is open until 5pm ! Which is untrue, as there is NO reception at this hotel, its actual at it's Sister Hotel. Once we arrived at our extremely compact room we were greeted by the shower cubile right next to the door as you enter the room. I have never seen anything like it before, thankfully the loo was behind a closed door. As we were staying at Kensington Garden Hotel we had hoped for a nice view ! But sadly not! Room 17's view is looking at a flat roof with skylights windows and the side of next doors building. I did contact Expedia regarding the issues, but sadly no action was taken. Upon check out we were told that they had tried to contact us to offer us another room!! But not sure what method they used.... as my phone didn't miss any calls or emails. I feel this action was too little too late. In all honesty I could not recommend staying at this Hotel to anyone.
