Royal Garden Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had an issue with not getting our case delivered as promised and had to go to find out where it was after 45 minutes but all was fine after that. Lovely hotel, in a great location."

Ember Locke Kensington

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property! The coffee in the lobby was so good! Just wish they came and cleaned the room at least once during our 4 day stay without an extra charge."

Miiro Templeton Garden

10/10 Excellent

"This is an excellently run hotel close to Earl's Court underground station. Checking in and out was easy though they take a £50 deposit. The two lifts are a bit slow especially if you use the upper floors. There is a large open area on the ground floor with plenty of seating with excellent views onto their private garden at the rear. My room was large enough and the only drawbacks were a lack of enclose wardrobe space and some challenges with turning off all the lights from the inside. Breakfast was spectacular with plenty of choice from both the table and cooked menus. The food was well prepared though obtaining a second serving of tea was awkward. I used the restaurant for dinner and their is a good selection for a hotel this size and all the food was well prepared, quick to come and tasted excellently. the staff do their best to please and are of good quality."
