"I can’t say enough about the amazing staff at the Radisson Blu, South Kensington. They always had smiles and answered my questions. I accidentally left a few items and they kept everything safe until I returned a few days later. This is my second time staying here and it’s the perfect location; across the street from the Glouster Road tube station, Boots Pharmacy and a Waitrose grocery store; it’s also within walking distance of great restaurants and Hyde Park. The next time I’m in London, I will definitely stay here again."

"I enjoyed my stay. The room was spacious and very clean. I loved the blackout curtains. They helped with jet lag. Great location."

Kensington House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Kensington House Hotel may be one of London's best kept little secrets. It's just a block away from Kensington Gardens, yet tucked away on a very quiet street. It's also a short walk away from restaurants, stores, supermarkets and coffee shops, and there are lots of bus and underground options nearby to visit other areas of the city. The premises are clean, and the front staff is incredibly nice and helpful. I'd definitely return."
