The shower head poured water out like your standing under a bucket, we asked if this could be fixed but no, it couldn't. Our bottom sheet ripped from being so worn in between the two beds that are pushed together to make one enormous bed and it was not replaced. We had to use our towels to mop up the... More

OK, so this is probably a 3.5 out of 5 all in all, so I upgraded my score to a 4, as I feel 3 doesn't do it justice. this place doesn't try and be anything special, so if you want just a room in a good location close to Gloucester Road tube, then you can't go wrong here. For... More

As has been said by other contributors the location is perfect to access London and the airport with the Gloucester Rd station around the corner. The restaurants in the area are fair but he place seems quite safe The hotel is old and in need of a make over, but there's a supply and demand issue, so at the moment... More

I recently stayed at The Kensington Rooms while my wife was in hospital nearby having an operation. The proximity to South Kensington and Gloucester Roa tube stations made it an ideal choice. The booking price was reduced heavily and I felt blessed at my luck as I left the booking till quite late in the day. Even when I decided... More

On arrival the staff were pleasant and I have no complaints whatsoever against the staff. My disappointment commenced with the winding route along the ground floor to my... More

They are filthy dirty, the carpets are full of years worth of dust and dirt. Cabling is unsafe, shower leaks everywhere, the bathroon is dirty, bed is dirty, TV is just a 12"... More

I was quite shocked seeing the hotel as it wasn't what I expected from the photos, the room was very small and cold, and so noisy from the traffic if the street, I'm used to noise as I lived in London but it really disburbed sleep, which was worsened by the blinds not working! The staff weren't to helpful either
