Ashburn Hotel

We stayed at the Ashburn Hotel for four nights and were not disappointed. I booked the stay based on TripAdvisor comments and have to agree with all the positives others have posted. The rooms are lovely, the view magnificent, and the service delightful. Everyone was helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. For example, I reserved two rooms and requested they be near each other if possible. We were pleasantly surprised to have the rooms right next to each other with a private external door which... more

Loved the Ashburn. I have stayed at the Bailey, which is on the other side of the Gloucester Rd tube station; this time I chose the Ashburn based on TA reviews. The only thing the Bailey has over the Ashburn is that the Bailey's door is literally across the street from the tube station where the Ashburn is a block away. But other than that ... The Ashburn's rooms are new and nice. Bedding is awesome. Amenities are great. Bathrooms are new and CLEAN (hard to find in London). They are also well lit. They are small, but what... more

I'm in London quite often for business and have yet to really find a place in the Kensington area worth going back to.(see previous reviews!) Anyhow, I stayed at the Ashburn Hotel last month and was quite impressed. The location is great, the staff is friendly, and the rooms are comfortable. Its not going to be the biggest room you've ever seen, so be sure to ask for room facing the north. I believe those are bigger. the beds are vey comfortable and if you can figure out how to use the air controls you'll got the tools for a great night of... more

I first stayed at the Ashburn in 1997 while on my first trip ever to London - back then it was cheap (and maybe not so cheerful). 10 years on and while looking for suitable accommodation for a business trip from Australia, I was intrigued to find it had been completely revamped and reopened only a few months ago. I booked my 8 nights online, and checked in after a long 24 hour flight on the 20th November. The staff really made me feel welcome. Overall, the staff are very friendly - from the concierge and front desk through to the... more

Came back again to this hotel, visited the first time in May and it is still fantastic. great staff, great location and i even got upgraded this time. The concierge remembered me since my last visit, (which is very unusal in busy hotels) and even asked how our summer had been. The free internet access and the great breakfast that is included is a big plus. i will return again in the near future.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights in October. I had read lots of reviews before going and have to say, that I agree with the positives people have said! It is a very charming hotel in a very good location. It is clean and the decor is fantastic. Our room was great. We had a superior king and it was an L shape room with a sofa on one side and the large bed on the other. There were two large screen tv's in the room and some beautiful boutique style pieces of furniture. We also thought that having the television sound in the bathroom was... more

I really liked this hotel for its charm, convenience, and value. It's very close to the Gloucester Rd station. Staff are friendly, and I liked the nice touches, such as the daily gift (bath salts, chocolates), the glass of champagne in the lobby every evening, and the supply of umbrellas by the door for London's famous weather. The continental breakfast spread is very nice as well. And I appreciated the free internet access, which is not to be taken for granted when some hotels charge an additional GBP 15 a day. However, there were... more

This is our third visit to London and we're so happy we will never have to look for another hotel in London again after spending 10 nights at the "practically perfect" Ashburn Hotel in Kensington. (Okay..... we saw Mary Poppins while in London) ;) From the gracious and friendly staff we encountered in all capacities in the hotel, well appointed rooms, spotless facilities, excellent breakfasts (hot and cold) and coffee, free wifi, evening champagne, and perfect location a 6 minute walk from the District, Circle and Piccadilly tube lines... more

Like some others, we made this reservation based on one great review and we were not disappointed! The location is fabulous in that it's safe (for a city), close to the Gloucester Road tube stop, and a reasonably short walk to many restaurants. You do need to take the tube for most attractions with the exception of a couple museums. Hotel itself was very clean and beautifully done. Great staff who were helpful when needed. Free champagne each night was a nice treat. Rooms and baths are large by city standards with nice amenities.... more

We stayed at the Ashburn for a week based on Tripadvisor reviews, and we were not disappointed. The hotel is in a great location in South Kensington and literally 2 blocks from the Gloucester tube station and a few blocks from Kensington park/palace. It was simple to get to any of the major sites; we just picked up a 7-day oyster card to ride the tube for the week. The 38 room hotel is brand new and has everything you'd need. There's a safe, mini fridge, and a great flat screen tv that will get you free internet access without a... more
