Words can't describe what a wonderful time we had at the Melia Kensington. The decor was elegant and feminine, we loved being greeted warmly by the staff each time we "returned home", the convenience of on site breakfast was a great way to start our days. The attached floral shop was an unexpected visual treat. But beyond all this, it was the way we were treated that makes this hotel a 5 star accommodation for us. We felt like VIPs. The little personal touches like the handwritten note, birthday balloons and the sweet treats left in our room, truly brought tears to my eyes. We love the Melia and our only regret was not staying longer. Until we meet again!

We had an excellent experience at Melia. The staff were very kind and always helpful with questions. Check in and check out were very smooth. The room was very comfortable. The location was great too. Out of the more crowded areas of the city and near a tube stop with good food nearby. Would definitely return.

Check in, room space and breakfast excellent. Staff at breakfast were brilliant and a good quality selection. However, returning to our room after being out for the evening found the room smelt strongly of cigarette smoke and saw there was a kitchen smoking area below the window. This also began again in the morning. Discussed with front desk on check out who said this had been reported by guests as an issue before. Requested a discount on the room but told not possible as it was not within their control. Asked if the smoking area was part of the Melia building which the front desk rep did not answer. Staff are entitled to relax with a cigarette but clearly they know about the issue but have done nothing to improve guest experience by relocating this space or double glazing the window. No apology or further action suggested by the member of staff on the front desk, not what I would expect from a hotel of this standard.
