"We had a 2 night stay at this lovely, new hotel. Very clean, beds wonderfully comfortable. Pillows a bit hard so a choice of pillow would have been better. Checking in was a bit of an ordeal, system issues and language barrier. I understand systems can be challenging at times but there was no customer care, I did not feel welcome, made to feel it was my fault. took my phone off me to check my booking but scrolling through it, which disturbed me. The only time staff were nice was when we were...

Top Kensington Hotel Reviews

Royal Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Doormen we very friendly, service was excellent when we needed more water or items for the room"

Brit Hotels Earls Court

10/10 Excellent

"A superb hotel! I stayed here for 2 nights whilst attending an event at Olympia. It is a short 10-15 minute walk from the venue, but in a quiet neighbourhood. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the hotel was clean and the decor looked fresh and well maintained. My room was perfect for a short stay - comfortable bed, desk with small chair, space for hanging clothes, a safe, a fridge (that was a bonus!) and a kettle. Opening window was also welcome. There was fresh still and sparkling water downstairs you could bottle and take to the room, along with a toaster and microwave, and a tea/coffee/hot chocolate drinks machine. Easy walk from Earls Court tube station, and a nice walk along to the Natural History Museum. No hesitation in recommending this hotel!"

Radisson Blu Hotel, London South Kensington

4/10 Poor

"This location does not have car service or a shuttle as shown on the Expedia profile. They simply will call you a taxi. There is one very tiny lift within the building. The building has steps to climb with no ramp for those with mobility issues. The location is nice. It is near restaurants, tube stations, and some shopping. "
