Very friendly and helpful staff, we arrived early and were able to leave our bags while we went to start exploring. When we checked in our bags had been taken to our room ready for us. Unfortunately the lift was out of order but the staff were very apologetic and gave us complimentary breakfast for the inconvenience. The room and bathroom were very clean and the room was basic but had everything we needed - we were only really in it to sleep. It was very convenient for Harrods and the Royal Albert Hall. There are bus and train stops/stations a couple of minutes walk away, so ideally placed but without the constant noise you get when you stay more centrally. I would be happy to stay again in the future.

The room was the smallest double room we have ever stayed in, the bathroom door could not be fully opened because the bed was in the way, there was only one bedside cabinet and the room was barely adequate for two people. The bed was clean and comfortable and the breakfast adequate but even for Kensington the value for money was 3:10. will not be staying there again.

Fantastic value and great access to locations like the Royal Albert Hall. The rooms do feel a little tired in terms of carpet and furnishings but are completely serviceable. Breakfast was adequate and is enough to set you up for the day with a fairly good choice of both hot and cold options. Located on a v quiet street but with good access to tube etc just a few mins walk away. My one complaint would be a fan or air conditioning in the my room which was running loud constantly with no obvious way to turn it off. Would stay again, great value for a budget option.

No way
Omg....where do I start??? The only reason this place gets a 2 is because the staff is super friendly (except the girl at breakfast this morning). This hotel is in desperate need of a complete overhaul! The walls had cracks and patches, the tile in the bathroom.was cracked, the floor not level and THE LIFT IS BROKEN (under repair). The hotel decides to put this old lady up on the top floor so hiking up 4-5 flights was miserable! They offered a complimentary breakfast for the inconvenience but was not worth the hike up and down 5 flights. The room was tiny, which is okay bye, but the bed was definitely not a "twin" - it was like a toddler bed! The Internet didn't work half the time and, again, the saving grace was the employees! Spend the extra $$$ and stay elsewhere

One night stay
I was in London by myself for one night. As a 50+ female, I felt very safe in the neighborhood and in the hotel. I was able to drop off my bag at 11:30 am and not return until 10:30 pm with no issues. The twin bed was comfortable and the hotel was quiet. Although they are older, I really appreciated the lift and the in-room air conditioning.

I thought it was nice for what i wanted. I was able to walk to the museums i wanted to see and it is close to the tube station so it was easy to reach other parts of London. There were restaurants close by.

Excellent location with plenty of amenities near by. Had a single room for 2 nights,Was located on the 3rd floor, there was a lift. Only gripe was the water pressure in shower and the water never really got hot, didn't bother me too much as I do like a cold/luke warm shower.
