Kensington Close Hotel reviews
May 2008, Ms L Lancaster
Hotel in an ideal location. Shouldn't have 4 stars though. Very slow check in - had to wait half an hour then after requesting adjoining rooms it just didn't happen. Turned out ok in the end anyhow! Rooms small but done the job. Bathroom very sparse and basic. Floor... more

Here is a list of feedback items: The dead bolts on the door don't work. The security chain was so long, that one can slip his hand through the door and remove the chain (I tried it and accomplished it in 2 seconds). The restaurant downstairs was empty for 5 days - I wonder... more

I arrived from Canada to what I thought would be a relatively modest but clean hotel. As it turns out, it was truly a hotel well below expectations. The hotel’s rooms were very small and cleanliness was a huge issue. We were moved three times because the security box in... more

Stayed for 1 night in this busy hotel, from reading some reviews was expecting a small room but we must of been lucky as our room on the 7th (top floor) was really big and pleasant would of been happy to stay there for longer. There is a number of restaurants in the hotel... more

Agree with others...
from A TripAdvisor Member
It was very hard to find a decent reasonable hotel in London given the current exchange rate of GBP to USD. So were were quite pleased to find this place after searching the internet & asking countless people for recommendations for our price range. Yes,the room was quite small but how much will you be in your room? It was was clean, functional and comfortable. Very efficient staff. Most of all this hotel is convienently located to shops, tube & food!
i agree!
from eiffel
I agree, this was a fine place to stay on my first visit to London. Very close to Kensington High St. tube station, though I always took buses everywhere, they were so direct & easy to figure & plentiful! The hotel was clean and comfortable -- like everyone has said, the room was small. The staff was attentive, responsive. We had tea in our room in mornings, and could take baths, which was nice. Also had access for 5lbs extra per room to the gym/spa -- agree that you should book in advance for massage or facials. And be mindful...

Honestly, you get what you paid for
from A TripAdvisor Member
I read through all of these reviews before going to London. They are all very positive. I would have to disagree strongly. While the hotel is not bad, it is not great either. The rooms are about 8 by 8 feet. (no joke). The beds are very soft so if you hate soft beds, you are out of luck -- we tried two rooms so i can tell you this is the standard bed they have. I think the beds have bed bugs -- something not to take likely since they can come home with you. The bathrooms are tiny as well and are not that clean either. Don't expect...

Can't find a better value
from A TripAdvisor Member
Having been all over Europe for two months for work, I found myself in London for the weekend, exhausted, and had a few requirements: 1) nice gym/pool/spa facilities where I could exercise and relax since I had no time during the week; 2) a clean room with a comfortable bed; 3) good, non touristy neighborhood close to the Tube. This hotel was perfect on all three, plus at a very reasonable price. Added bonus - I was so tired on Friday that I stayed in and got room service, which I almost never do for fear of bad food. It was delicious! Yes...

Overall very good
from A TripAdvisor Member
Stayed for 2 nights in february, the room was abit on the small size (for a double bed room), ensuite bathroom was again small but adequate.The hotel staff were pleasant and the hotel's pool & gym were reasonable.The main restaurant was pleasant but the food wasn't as nice as I would have expected (might have been an off day). 2mins walk from the tube.Overall I would stay there again. 7/10
55 dollars US/night!!!!
from ngatti
For this price in this pound/dollar environment,one expects the equivilent of a Bowery fleabag. Not the case!! Definitly three plus stars. Singles are indeed small. In fact, cruise ship stateroom small, but having travelled a few times to London and having stayed in selected, so-called, three star hotels, I must say that this was the best of the lot. The neighborhood is smart and the Hotel is close to Kensington High Street Tube. Very convenient to both Paddington and Victoria. Room amenities and maid service was also much more than...

Nice exterior but interior is lacking
from Braindrain
I stayed here for 2 nights from a Priceline rate of $55 USD. I took a taxi from Paddington Station and it cost about 8 pounds. If you're taking the tube, it's just down Wrights Lane on the corner of the High Street Kensington tube station. Quite convenient. The exterior looks very new and beautiful. I asked for a room at the back and got it. Yes, it's a long way to walk to the back of the hotel but looking at the hotel chart of the back of door, it seems these rooms are larger than the others. Ok, when I say larger, the rooms are still...

LOVED IT!
from A TripAdvisor Member
My husband and I just returned from LondonHaving booked the kesnington Close Hotel through a travel agent for a great deal I was not expecting such a nice, quaint hotel. As others before me have written the location was great, just 5 minutes from the high street kensington stop, and close to tons of shops. Upon arrival we immediately checked in and within 5 minutes we walked into a very cute and clean room. It was very small but the cleanineess and quatiness made up for lack of space. The bathroom was hidden behind a sliding glass door that...

Friendly and Helpful staff, Great breakfast and Clean Rooms
from A TripAdvisor Member
I stayed at Kensington Close for 10 nights and loved every bit of it! The staff was very friendly and helpful...The breakfast buffet was wonderful and the room was very clean. The room was extremely tiny, but who cares? I was there to see London, not stay in my room! I would recommend this hotel to anyone! The staff at Kensington Close did not disappoint! Thank you for your great service!!!!
Nice Hotel/good rates
from c0wgirl88
My boyfriend and I stayed for four nights at the Kensington Close in October. Although the room was very small, it had a bathtub which is rare in Europe and I love a good soak after a long day of sightseeing! The staff was helpful and courteous and the location near the metro was great. The only thing that we really did not like was the breakfast. The continental breakfast room was dark and somewhat sloppy and the breakfast buffet line was tremendously long and slow. If I was to go again, I would definitely eat breakfast elsewhere.

I stayed here 6th-8th Feb 2009. After reading some of the other reviews I wasn't too hopeful, but I found this hotel to be very good indeed. Check-in was swift and painless with very courteous staff. My room was on the 3rd floor round the side overlooking the neighbouring... more
