1/2 block walk from Gloucester Rd Underground station (no lift from Piccadilly line platform, so have to carry bags up one flight of stairs before accessing lift, but otherwise very easy hike with bags). Several places to eat from across the street (Ask Italian is delicious) to 2 blocks away in addition to restaurant at hotel. Super friendly staff at front desk. Check-in isn’t officially until 3pm, but they’ll secure your bags for you soon as you get there so you can explore around without worrying about them. And they’ll let you into a room earlier than 3 if housekeeping manages to get one ready earlier. Room was very spacious with king bed, refrigerator and large washroom. 5-stars from us at this place!

This property was in an excellent location with lots of shopping and food. We were able to walk to all the sights we wanted to see. We arrived very early and they were very kind to check in all our luggage and hold it until our rooms were available. The rooms are nice and spacious and the bedding was comfortable. The breakfast has lots of options and the staff was lovely. I would Definitely stay here again

The staff could not have been nicer and more pleasant, ready to serve. They have two lifts, one that has been perpetually in repair for some time - so this delays things a bit. Also they don't get around to making up the room until after 5, which was strange. Breakfast is adequate and convenient. We purchased the breakfast package ahead, which saved time. Not much on the dining side after breakfast. One room service order during the stay was fumbled. There are great dining options within walking distance, so dine out. Overall, a good value and room.

Its a good location, room was a little bit dark, breakfast was average, breakfast room layout was wrong, coffee station in the entryway causes people pile up, elevator renovation at a peak season causes longer waiting times. Generally it does the job for a good sleep..

Perfect location to explore London

We love London, and my wife's favorite location in the city is Kensington. We were here for a short stopover stay to see Oliver on the West End before traveling to visit friends in the Netherlands. This hotel was perfect for us! First, the location was great for walking the streets and mews of Kensington and taking in Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, and being located right across the street from Gloucester Road station made it even better to get anywhere in London. Second, the king deluxe room was amazing. It was large, updated, and the bed was huge and very comfortable. The staff were very friendly. We did not use the bar or onsite restaurant options because we wanted to get out and explore the city, but they all looked quite lovely. We will be back to London definitely and would stay here again for sure. Highly recommended!
