Hotell Kensington Rooms - London

Kensington Rooms ligger jättebra, tar ca 10 min in med tunnelbana till stadens kärna, och ca 10 min till Notting Hill. Tunnelbanestationen ligger bara 5 min från hotellet, och området var fint och kändes väldigt säkert. Hotellet var fint, enkla och rum men rena och fräscha med städning varje dag. Rummen är relativt små men eftersom man ändå bara ska […] sova där spelar det inte så stor roll. Personalen var trevlig och hjälpsam. Kan rekommenderas! Läs mer

Vårt rum var väldigt litet med ett fönster som satt drygt tre meter upp utmed en av väggarna. Därmed kunde man varken titta ut eller öppna fönstret om man hade velat. Badrummet var också litet, men hyggligt fräscht. Personalen var mycket ung och inte vidare entusiastisk. Läget var helt okej - Kensington är ett snobbigt (och därmed lugnt) område, så […] man störs inte av vilt festande grannar, samtidigt som det ligger hyfsat centralt. Visserligen tillbringar man inte vidare mycket tid på hotellrummet när man är in en stad som London, men jag är övertygad om att det finns bättre alternativ än detta. Därför känner jag inte att jag kan rekommendera det här hotellet, och jag kommer inte heller att återvända. Läs mer

We stayed here four nights and it was OK. You get what you pay for. And London is not known to have the best standard in Europe on the hotels so I would say Kensington Rooms delivered as promised+ The double beds was really comfortable and felt "new" Anyway who goes to London to sit in the hotel room? They are good enough to sleep in.

Verkligen helt otroligt rum vi bodde i. högt i tack och väldigt rymligt. Städning varje dag. Väldigt fräscht. Testade dock aldrig frukosten. rekommenderas varmt!!

Vi är mycket nöjda med vår vistelse på hotellet. Vi hade lite svårt att hitta rummet först, eftersom det låg en halvtrappa ner in mot gården. Det var dock rent och precis lagom stort. Sängen var mycket bekväm och lakanen underbara. Sen var det ju engelsk standard... vilket ju inte är som i Sverige. Vår persienn var sönder så den gick inte att dra upp […] och klinkergolvet i det minimala badrummet var så slitna att glasyren var borta i fläckar. Men det är charmen med London! Vi hade inte frukost i vårt pris, men det fanns massa ställen i närheten som serverade frukost av olika slag. Vi vill gärna rekommendera den indiska restaurangen rakt över gatan med. Den räddade oss första kvällen när vi kom. God mat och trevlig personal. precis som indisk mat i London skall vara! Läs mer

Vi stannade 3 nätter på Kensington Rooms i juli och var jättenöjda med servicen och rummen. Det är enkla rum, till bra pris, läget är bra med nära till allt med t-banan och framförallt var det rent och fräscht.

Helt ok hotell, gångavstånd till alla sevärdheter. Dock rekommenderas det inte om man som vi åkte dit för att uppleva Londons nattliv, då området är så lugnt måste man alltid åka bort därifrån för att komma åt klubbarna.

Allt var bra, förutom att fönstren drar och trafikbullret hörs väldigt väl på natten.

Ett mkt bra och prisvärt hotell. Faktiskt över förväntan. Rent och snyggt. Bra läge. Frukosten var väl sisådär för priset. Kan varmt rekommenderas!!!

rummet luktade instängd och skulle behövas vädras lite varje dag. fanns endast Wifi i loungen som var väldigt dåligt. Gick ej surfa om många var på. Vid bokning av taxi via hotellpersonalen fick vi en svarttaxi som tog 20 pund för en 5minuters resa. Annars var det helt okej. Städning av rum varje dag. Rekommendera det till de som inte alltför kräsna. […] Bra läge till både en metrostation, matbutik, och Harrods låg ca 1 km bort. Läs mer

Hotellet var bra näta tunnelbana och bussar Men Frukosten var inte så bra saknade ost och Pålägg korv Endast rostad bröd med marmelad Som dessutom var väldigt DYR 15Pund för två varje dag Frukosten ingår inte i Rumspriset VARFÖR?

Riktigt bra hotell. Privärt, fräsha och fina rum, trevlig personal och riktigt bra läge. Vi bodde i ett trebäddsrum som även hade en soffa och ett generöst tilltaget badrum med badkar. Badrummet var fräsht men aningen, aningen slitet. Men det var absolut inget som man störde sig på. Sköna sängar och fint inrett rum. Läget är perfekt, väldigt centralt […] (några stationer med tunnebanan in till "centrum") men ett väldigt trivsamt och lungt område. Några min promenad till tunnelbanan och till mataffärer. Jag kommer definitivt bo här nästa gång jag kommer till London! Läs mer

Själva hotellet var trevligt, men viss personal var inte serviceinriktade alls, tittade knappt upp då vi skulle checka in. Rummet var otroligt litet samt badrummet, det var inte riktigt städat bakom sängarna. Läget var väldigt bra, sisådär 200 m från tuben och 30 m från bussen. Till en början var vi besvikna men det blev lite charmigt med tiden.

Vi var tre vuxna som bodde på Kensington Rooms under fem dagar. Vi är vana resenärer och var jättenöjda, med allting! Frächt, rent, trendigt, nytt, bra komfort, hjälpsam personal och nära till allting. Första hotellet från våra vistelser i London som vi verkligen kan rekommendera till andra.

A good deal for the location. For the price in London, you can't do too much better. The room and bath were SMALL but clean. The hairdryer did not work well and the shower did not drain very well. However, the staff was very helpful, the lobby was reasonably attractive and modern in style, and it was quiet. The bed was comfortable. I would stay there […] again if I were planning to be in South Kensington. Läs mer

This is a typical small room expensive hotel in London. If you are staying for a few days you would be better staying out a bit and getting something better for the price. In saying that, it's still safe and clean with good service. Just felt like we were staying in a single room in a backpackers...

We booked the hotel for my mother in law's 60th birthday as we were going to see a show. The rooms were tiny, there was one wardrobe that you could hang about 3 items in and no drawer space. The taps and shower in our room were the wrong way around, you had to turn on the cold to get hot and vice versa. The lift in the premises holds about 3 people […] with luggage and seems to pick it's own floors. On the daty of checkout we called the lift and had to wait about 10 minutes for it to arrive so we could get in, I kid you not! TV was tiny and we could get about 4 channels with no interference. There were no curtains and just a a blind on the single glazed window so being next to a main road you can hear abit of traffic. Läs mer

I enjoyed my stay at Kensington Rooms. The location was great, close access to the tube, and within walking distance to many of the city's attractions. Room size was decent for one person. Staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint would be the main street next to the hotel was very loud at all times of the day, making it hard to sleep. My suggestion […] would be to ask for a room opposite the street side. Läs mer

Of course the rooms are small, but all London hotel rooms probably are. I was by myself, so I didn't mind that. The only thing I didn't really appreciate was the traffic noise just outside my window, even though I was up on the third floor. The radiator was a bit noisy and three out of five television channels didn't come in too well. But it's very […] close to the Gloucester Underground Station and there are some nice pubs in the surrounding area (Stanhope Arms was excellent, just down the street). Kensington's staff was generally very nice to me and it was a secure, clean place. It seemed rather expensive, at least for me, but the location is worth it if you're coming out to London for a holiday. Läs mer

Female Staff at the reception were a little rude at all times and not very helpfull and need customer services lessions , great location room a little bit small but didnt mind because it was clean and just what we expected for a short stay ,would recommend to my friends

My room looked just like the photos on the 2nd floor, and my room faced Gloucester street. Clean, quiet and spacious. Very close to the tube and a large supermarket. On thing to note is that b/c it's an older building, the lift takes you to the 2nd floor, but there are half flights leading from the lift (going up or down) to floors that are still considered […] the same floor. It was a little difficult to lift and heave my 40lb suitcase up a flight of stairs. Otherwise, no complaints. There are tons of boutique hotels on Gloucester including large American hotel chains. South Kensington is very safe to walk in during the day and evening hours. Läs mer

really small room with little leg room but a huge bed. shower is choking so you have to wait a while for the water to flow before continuing to shower. took the lift up and there is still some stairs so may be troublesome for those with a lot of luggage. did not have free breakfast but we went to a cafe near the metro and had buffet breakfast for 5 […] euros. there is also a supermarket nearby where we bought our picnic stuffs. nearby sights include natural history museum and V&A museum. Läs mer

Great location! Tiny room. So much so that I think my walk-in closet is larger than that hotel room. I'd expected that breakfast would be included; it wasn't. With only 2.5 channels on TV, in-room entertainment was pretty much non-existent. The Do-Not-Disturb sign on the door was ignored by staff one day.

Small room with small shower, but very clean. Only a few blocks away from the tube.

Great location we walked everywhere or caught the train which was 2 blocks down the road. The room was surprisingly bigger than we expected the only let down was that there was no fridge in the room or ice machine.

About a 5 minute walk from the Gloucester Rd Underground station. The neighborhood is a bit quiet, which was just fine for us. The room was clean and comfortable, but with a very large bed there wasnt much room for dancing. One problem was that the cleaning lady came in rather unannounced one morning around 10am. Overall, very pleased.

My last day in the UK after spending 5 weeks working and living on a golf course and 3 weeks driving through Ireland, Wales, England, and Scotland was spent in this hotel. I wanted something reasonable and comfortable for my only night in London. The hotel was in a fairly good location. I found parking on the street immediately after arriving. The guy […] at the front desk just looked at me when I walked in and the girl was much more helpful in getting me checked in. You have to turn in your key when you leave which is a little annoying. More annoying was that the second time I came back, I just gave my room number to a new guy working the desk and he handed me the key without asking my name or checking ID. The room was as small as other reviewers have mentioned. Two people could not comfortably walked around the bed. I had to stack my suitcases on top of each other just to have enough room. The window was wide open when we got there so I closed it up when we left to get some food. When we got back the room smelled horrible. I tracked the smell to the bathroom so maybe they were having some sewer gas problems. I opened up the window and closed the bathroom door for the remainder of the stay. The bed looked nice but was nowhere near as comfortable as the bed & breakfasts that we had been staying in. Actually, the beds in the guest houses in Great Yarmouth were better than this. The next morning we went to have breakfast. I prepaid for a full English. We got there about 920 and they were about to seat us no problem until they saw we had a full English coupon. The lady said that they were closing at 930 and our breakfast would take at least 20 minutes to cook. I told her no problem and we could get a refund on the tickets and eat somewhere else. She huffed and said she would take care of it. It was not more than 5-6 minutes when we had our breakfast. After breakfast we went to take showers and get ready to leave. There was an iron and ironing board at the top of the landin Läs mer

great place to stay - will definitely stay again...nothing fancy but perfect for london....location is super handy with proximity to tube station - room was great - bathroom a wee bit small but didn't bother me at all. i've stayed at many hotels in london and this one is one of the best for value for money

When we arrived, the front desk lady informed us that we were upgraded! Nice surprise. The rooms were large and beautiful. Free wi-fi in lobby. Very close to Gloucester underground station. You can't print your bordering pass unless you email it to their website and after spending a while on it, they couldn't find my email. This was the only frustrating […] event, otherwise the stay was nice. Good luggage storage system. Läs mer

At best a glorified youth hostel. Claustrophobic rooms.Terribly stuffy corridors with dusty carpets Awful breakfast layed out on what looked like a camping table set up in a hallway.The breakfast experience reminded us of school trips as a child.We even got a ticket that we had to hand in on receiving our meal.Tap water served with tasteless and old […] food.The furniture in the hotel were old,stained and musty.The effort of trying to make the hotel look hip and modern put me at mind of a nightclub in day light. All over a bad experience Läs mer

I booked a single room. This was much too small. the washhand basin was partly overhanging the toilet bowl. as a man it was impossible to stand and use toilet. the shower was also cramped im only 5 10 and 11 7lbs i dont know how a bigger person would have coped. Islept very poorly all 4 nights. i complained to the manageress she offered me a different […] single which was even smaller so i stayed where i was.i only ask for a decent nights sleep and a functioning bathroom on these two points the hotel failed.

This hotel was as we expected. All was in order when we arrived. Heat wave in London the 1st day made sleeping tough with no A/C, but that passed. Access to all venues via tube, bus or walking was right there - good neighborhood for restaurants, shopping and banks. Hotel staff was fine - especially Andrea. She helped us get started on our 1st day […] - tips, arrangements, etc. - also wonderful with getting to the airport on final day - critical! Very friendly, smiling and quick-thinking. Small mention - we would have liked washcloths in the bath. Thanks for making our 1st London stay easy. Ginny & Dan from Minnesota Läs mer

We had a one night stay at the Kensington Rooms. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The location was ideal for our purposes. On the morning of departure, we were able to leave our case there, and returned about 5pm for it. We wanted to change our clothes and were offered facilities to do this. Overall, […] I found it very satisfactory and would stay again. Läs mer

I checked into Kennsington Rooms after checking out of a very run down hotel within walking distance of the British Museum. When I saw the well kept rooms and the spaciousness I breathed a huge sigh of relief. It is also just a short walk away from an Underground Station which made my London touring days very easy. I have only 2 complaints: breakfast […] was not included and the receptionist was quite cool on the day I checked out. Other than that I absolutely loved this hotel and would stay in it again.

My husband and I arrived at the Kensington Rooms hotel very late in the evening after traveling from the US (which essentially means we were on a plane all day). After we navigated through the dark, dingy halls of the hotel we came upon our room, opened the door and much to our surprise were terribly disappointed. The room was dark and dingy (to match […] the halls) TINY (and I booked the mid size accomodations) and not at all luxurious. The bed was hard as a rock and I would not consider what the provided as "premium bedding" and there was not a pillowtop mattress (I sleep on a feather bed with down pillows at home - so I know premium and comfort). When I attempted to wash my face prior to turning in for the evening there was no hot water. The next morning while showering - the shower door did not seal so I had a puddle on the floor. The satellite service provided maybe 5 channels but the TV did not work correctly so it really did not matter how many channels. There was not enough room to walk between the bed and the TV stand to get to the bathroom - we had to turn sideways and only 1 at a time. There was no place to put luggage. The complimentary toiletries (which is why I always bring my own) were plastic packets of shampoo/body wash (all in one). Not my idea of something I am putting on my hair. The hair dryer was ANCIENT and attached to the wall by the desk (not in the bathroom where most people get ready for the day) . It was so ancient that it did not work. I went to the front desk in the morning and they quickly handed over a real hairdryer. Apparently this is a common problem. The rooms are secured by actual keys and there is really no security to the building at all. People can walk in and out as they please with no questions asked. In our short 10 hours we managed to lock ourselves out of the room twice. So, needless to say....we checked out after 1 night of our 5 night stay. (if it had not been so late when we checked in we would not have stayed the 1 night) Läs mer

For the area, this hotel had fairly good rates. However, it was a really small room, really small bathroom, uncomfortable bed, etc and we opened the window for air circulation. There was also a horrid smell half the time. The positive aspect about such a room was that it encouraged us to stay out and about in London!

Service was employee dependent (young morning guy was great; French girl in the evening was beyond rude). Room condition was OK. Blinds didn't reach the bottom of the sill, leaving six inches of unimpeded daylight. The showerhead was too low and managed to spray the whole bathroom. Overall though, it was decent and clean, albeit on the small side.

It was a fab location, easy access to heathrow, and to tourist spots. Lots of restaurants close by. Room was very dusty and did not match the website pictures. Overall was satisfied and would recommend it.

Hotel was nice, great for a one night stay in the city and it's just a couple blocks from the underground. Not elderly/disabled friendly though as the elevator would come to a stairs landing, then you'd have to walk up about 8 steps (with your bags) to the hallway (which were the width of a large suit case). Breakfast was very good and staff was he […] lpful. Läs mer
