I stayed here after Royal Courts/Paddington Apt let me down (see my review). We were here for one night. The location of this is right by Earl's Court Tube - about an 8 min walk. The location is safe & can be pretty quiet at night. The staff was friendly & hospitable. Since we called last minute, we were able... more

My husband chose The Kensington Hotel based upon reviews by respondents of TripAdvisor. We've done it before and have been extremely happy. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We had a supreme room which added an area with 2 chairs and a small table. Unfortunately, there was no lighting over 1/2 the area and it was too dark to see... more

I have just returned from a fantastic European trip and London certainly was a highlight. My partner and I stayed at the Kensington Hotel, part of the Doyle Collection. The property is absolutely stunning, after speaking with the reception team we learned how the Hotel has just undergone an extensive renovation project, and you could see the quality in both... more

Stayed at The Kensington for 4 nights recently with my wife. The hotel is in a top location in South Kensington close to 2 tube stations and Kensington Gardens. The standard rooms are very clean and well appointed, great beds and shower. Not very big rooms I must say but overall an excellent hotel to which I would not hesitate... more

We stayed at The Kensington Hotel for 3 nights recently and were very impressed with it. We arrived before normal check in time and the reception and porter staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating offering us coffee etc while we waited for a room to be ready. There was one particular porter - wish we got his... more

This hotel totally lived up to its reviews. We stayed for four nights and then came back for two more on another leg of our trip. The first time they upgraded us to a suite and the room was large and the bathroom was spectacular. The second room was quite nice and spacious though the bathroom was small but nice.... more

Just a brief note to feedback on our recent stay at The Kensington Hotel: My overall summary is that The Kensington is a lovely hotel, in a lovely area - with fantastic staff and service. It is the latter that make the difference and as an organisation the Doyle group should be proud of the Kensington staff. I would particularly... more
