Poor rating
Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was very small and clean. I would advise against anyone staying in this room if you weigh more than 150-160 pounds. It is so small that it is hard to get around the bed and bathroom. The bathroom is horrible with so much mold on the walls and tiles. Not clean at all. They have no wash cloths or hand towels available. I would find another hotel in the same area. It was very easy to get around because the Tube access is excellent. We would never stay in The Villa Kensington again.

Good bargain for London
The room was very clean (small, but fine for the price). Bathroom was spotless, plenty of hot water and good water pressure. All the staff I met were very courteous and helpful.I would stay here again.

The Villa Kensington was a great find. The location is very good. It was easy with public transportation to get anywhere. If you are a walker there are many places you can walk to as well. There are many food options close by as well. From sit down, grab and go, or groceries. The front desk staff was very good. Everyone I encountered was very nice and friendly, always willing to chat and offer advice. I had a little problem when the rail workers went on strike and I had to get back to Gatwick. The staff was helpful getting me an arranged taxi and carried my luggage out for me at 3:30 a.m. The area was safe and hotel felt secure. There is a lot of foot traffic with the proximity to the tube station. My only criticism would be on the bathroom condition. The shower grout needed something, either cleaning or repair. Overall this hotel is a great value overall. I will definitely be back again.
