Top Kensington Gardens Hotel Reviews

The Rembrandt

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean beds comfortable and excellent breakfast"

Thistle London Hyde Park Kensington Gardens

8/10 Good

"We love the location of the Thistle on Bayswater Road. They have triple paned the windows to keep the traffic noise down. The beds were okay, towels large and fluffy. The staff were helpful and the breakfast was good, particularly the scrambled eggs."

The Cumberland, London

10/10 Excellent

"Great location right by Marble Arch and Hyde Park. The hop-on hop-off bus stop roght across the street. Really nice shampoo and conditioner in the room i recommend the Spanish reataurant!"

Princes Gardens

8/10 Good

"A unique experience as it is a campus hotel which we have never stayed at before. Room's were clean and simple and the hotel had flexible check in as we arrived very late which was great. It was difficult to find being again a campus hotel. Once we figured it out the staff was very helpful and we felt very safe as the doors can only be opened with scanning your card to get in. It was in a good location as we could walk or drive without an issue to see the sites. Negatives are the cleaning staff do NOT respect the "Do not disturb" sign, since we came in very late, and did not clean the room after we went out on our first day. Room's are very simple and thank goodness the heat wave of Europe was over as there was no air conditioning which we did not need. No TV but we did not need it as we were always out touring London. Front desk was great and they ensured the cleaning team was notified about the issues we had and our rooms were cleaned on time the next day and it was more quiet going forward."

Central Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in remodeling process. But was very crean and no irritación noise in the meantime."

"Fantastic hotel, The rooms are quite warm in the summer but that's to be expected in London. Great quality breakfast spread, super friedly staff. I will definitely be back."

Kensington House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location was exceptional, across the street from Kensington Palace, and close to the Museums. Staff was so kind and helpful. Single room, was small but was all I needed for a place to sleep. Would recommend anyone to stay here. Also, the cafe in the hotel was delicious and convenient!"
