Weekend in Kensington

We really enjoyed the hotel. I agree with some reviewers comments about worn carpets and light bulbs out in the hotel. However, our room was large and comfortable, the location near the Gloucester St tube station was great, and the neighborhood was quiet. The hotel was clean and had the amenities we needed.

No hairdryer or coffee & kettle in the rooms. Breakfast was ok but basic. Need a new toaster. Otherwise good value for money and an excellent location for visiting London. Underground is walking distance away and there are take outs, restaurants and Sainsbury's, Tesco, M&S etc in walking distance. No smoking is allowed which is an extra bonus. Clean and tidy rooms. Will go again when visiting London.

Well what can I say, when we arrived reception was luke warm at best. The exterior does not reflect the condition inside the rooms. I am STUNNED 😧 it’s a four star, time for another inspection. I’m sure it was once a beautiful property in a great location. Now requires decorating and lots of repairs ☹️

This was decent value for the money and I would stay here again. If you are picky, stay away. This is a budget accommodation. There were little things. My emails before my stay went unanswered. The heat in my room was permanently set to maximum and the control unit was broken. The lamp cord was frayed. I relayed this to the front desk and none of it got fixed. I didn't care that much, I still felt the hotel was good value for the money.

Nice clean but no hospitality

Nice quiet hotel. Check in was not great no information on breakfast no information on check out. No tea and coffee in rooms but it’s kept downstairs in the lounge. I asked for tea but receptionist to busy it will take 10 minutes but clearly not interested. I went to work got back to hotel at 4am and asked night porter a good drink NO CHANCE AS KITCHEN IS CLOSED !!! a nice hotel but clearly lacks any customer service and certainly HOSPITALITY Breakfast - was basic with no allergen information or even to tell which flack is tea and which flask is coffee. !

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was incredibly tired, the carpets threadbare, the superior room tiny, the shower had significant water damaged in the ceiling, the sink needed resealing. The window would not shut and was wedged open with some kind of board. The breakfast was sparse and no eye contact or communication from the staff. I assume they were embarrassed to charge so much grim place. On the plus side, the water was powerful and the bed was actually comfortable. But for over £200 per night, it was pretty depressing stuff.

They say this hotel is 4* but in fact it is more like a 1*. Reportedly comes with a robe, amenities and hairdryer, it had none in the room and they even looked confused when asked for a glass. They are charging people £50 deposit and not holding it but actually taking the money and also the state of the hotel and rooms was disgusting. There was any infestation, horrendous stains on walls and carpets and also did not have safety locks on sash windows. In all, it was disgusting, no female staff which was uncomfortable at times and did not provide what was advertised. The only good thing was the location!

I refused to stay in the hotel and booked another. Upon arrival I was advised there was no key and staff would need to let me in each time I left my room. There was a rancid smell of damp throughout, disrepair and damage to furnishings/carpets etc There was no light in the lift and you had to navigate it in darkness which was scary and I didn’t feel safe enough to sleep there. Bags of dirty linen ‘ready for collection’ were scattered through the corridors and there was no food or drink availabilities. Never have I walked out of a hotel but this needs shutting down and I want a refund..!

The hotel, was very dirty, wallpaper had been stapled back onto the wall, the tv wasn't plugged in and for good reason, the plug I found had melted, the carpet and curtains had stains, there was no sheet protector, with hairs under the sheets, there was a hole in the bed on the side, all of the chairs in the rooms had either holes or had been torn, the drawers only had one knob per drawer and it was falling apart, the bath had pink and black mould everywhere, the sink was leaking and the icing on the cake was there was no hot water or heating and when questioned, the the staff weren't willing to help and argued with my partner and still checked in guests without letting them know there was no hot water in the hotel. to save myself I decided not to have the free breakfast, as there was no hot water, so unsure how clean everything was so ordered a McDonalds, there was also no tea and coffee in the rooms and the in room fridge was on, but didn't cool
