Top Kensington Hotel Reviews

The Drey - Kensington, Earl's Court

8/10 Good

"Our room was very small - we walked into the bed, and had no where to store luggage except for under the bed. I would upgrade to a larger room here, or go to the nearby Brit Hotels."

Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG

8/10 Good

"Large hotel with efficient check in and luggage storage facilities. Staff were friendly. The room we booked (standard twin) was very small, the bathroom in particular was a very strange long narrow room that made it awkward to use. The TV started turning itself on every 10 minutes at 5am which was kind of annoying. The room was very hot but the air con was good. Pool was ok, a little tired but fine. Jacuzzi and steam room were out of order which was disappointing. Great location just off Kensington High Street."
