Top Kensington Hotel Reviews

Millennium Hotel and Conference Centre Gloucester London

8/10 Good

"A decent room and value with good location for a neighborhood vibe. The walls are pretty thin but the cleaning staff work hard and the rooms are just good enough"

Ember Locke Kensington

6/10 Okay

"Really cute hotel room. Very close to train station (about 3 blocks). They had a nice coffee and pizza place in the lobby. Lobby is a vibe. However, I don't know that I could ever stay here again with no climate control in the room. It was not warm outside but It was warm in our room with bolted windows so you couldn't crack them open. They did give us a fan but we enjoy sleeping cold. Just our own preference."

Royal Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful Hotel on Kensington High Street next to the Palace and Gardens. Comfortable, clean and convenient with exemplary courteous staff this is by far our favourite London Hotel. There is a quiet confidence in delivering a first class experience, that only works when there is total team commitment. The Royal Garden Hotel has a team that provides an exceptional outcome every time which is why we return again and again. From reception to housekeeping , the restaurants and piano bar(try the cocktails) everyone pulls together 'on brand'. A must try."

Radisson Blu Hotel, London South Kensington

6/10 Okay

"The room was quite dated as was the whole hotel. There was a laundry truck unloading for about two hours in between 2-4 am outside the room in the back alley (rough timings, I wasn't checking the clock in the middle of the night). It interrupted my sleep for a while. When I mentioned it to the receptionist in the morning he apologised but didn't seem too bothered. There is one thing I want from a hotel and it's a good night's sleep."
