• Elisabeth (8/5): Adresse à conserver et à partager - Très bon emplacement, proche du métro dans un quartier calme Insonorisation à améliorer
• Robert (7/5): - Very close to the tube. Clean room, friendly staff. The breakfast was underwhelming, and the soap and shampoo available were very small.

• Maja (6/5): Fint men godt man ikke var sart og kunne skulle sove der og ikke opholde sig der. - Det var et stille område om natten tæt på metro Det var meget slidt særligt alle møbler og især badeværelse hvor badeværelse møblet var ved at falde fra hinanden og vasken flækket, alle klinker på gulvet var flækket og løse. Der var også meget koldt på værelset, man kunne også tydligt høre støjen fra byggeriet på den anden side af vej da vinduerne var meget gamle og utætte
• Maria-Josep (9/5): Bon lloc per visitar Londres - Molt ben situat i amb un personal molt amable Tot estava molt bé, posats a dir alguna cosa, un soport pel sabó a la dutxa (que surt amb una pressió i temperatura boníssimes
• Mohamed (6/5): Very good can be excellent easily by having a functioning AC. - Location AC and ventilation was not as i expected
• Jill (7/5): The staff were lovely and helped cope with this aging hotel. - Location very close to Gloucester Road tube. Friendly staff, lifts to all floors. The hotel was in need of renovation. The bathroom was small, no hanging room, or space around the basin. The shower had no shelf or room for soap or shampoo. Very basic inclusions and hair dresser needed to be borrowed from front desk. There were also a couple of irons for the whole of the hotel but the plates were ruined and not really able to be used.

• Alessandro (10/5): - Albergo posizionato a 150 metri dalla fermata della metro Glouchester road comodissima ,nella stazione della metro c é farmacia e supermercato.Le camere sono accoglienti ma non grandi,rapporto qualita/prezzo ottimo.
• Amy (6/5): Great location, good value. - We booked for the price and location as we don't spend much time in the hotel when we're in London. The room was perfectly fine. The shower had very low water pressure so I felt like I wasnt as clean as I could have been and I feel grimy after a day in London. For the price and location, I can really only critisize the shower.

• Katja (9/5): Lovely hotel - Lovely hotel, lovely staff and great location. Just a 3-5 minute walk to Gloucester Road underground station and a short drive to the city centre. Room was clean and comfortable and breakfast offered several opportunities. Anytime again. WiFi doesn't really work.
• Carolina (8/5): - La ubicación excelente. Una zona hermosa, con el metro cerquita que te lleva a todos lados fácil y rápido. Lleno de lugares para comer y un supermercado muy lindo a pocos metros. Hermoso para pasear de noche y muy lindos pues a unas cuadras. La ubicación un 10!! La cama muy cómoda. El baño amplio y confortable. Hacía mucho frío en la habitación y no tenía aire acondicionado. El personal, muy amable, nos dio un caloventor y con eso nos arreglamos bien. La habitación era bastante pequeña.
• Mary (9/5): -
• Jennifer (5/5): - Location Uncomfortable bed, thin uncomfortable bedding
• Julia Laurine (7/5): A decent place to stay, but wouldn’t recommend. - The hotel is a stone’s throw from the Gloucester Road tube station and museums like The Natural Museum. There’s ample supermarkets, coffee shops, and restaurants in the direct neighbourhood. The walls were so thin I could hear the people in the room next to mine, even their snoring at night. The shower also could use an update because it was terribly old fashioned.

• valeria (8/5): Semplice,pulito,grande e in perfetta posizione.Staff eccezionale - Zona perfetta,personalmente gentilissimo e accogliente,pulito.camera ampia e con bellissime finestre apribili Stanza un po’ fredda,con un riscaldamento non programmabile costituito da una stufetta elettrica e un condizionatore rumoroso e un po datato che ci metteva molto a scaldare.Arredi molto datati
• Marnie (10/5): Perfect stay in london - Friendly staff! The triple room is perfect for three people as you all have your own bed and the room is spacious. The area surrounding the hotel is nice too as Kensington high street isn’t far and you have Gloucester Road train station in close proximity! Could do with a full length mirror.
• Grzegorz (10/5): -
• Antonia (10/5): Super staff, clean, great licatio - Staff were all welcoming, friendly and professional; Nick Adrian, William, Olga, Maria - all of housekeeping were marvellous too. Breakfast was good - they prepared poached egg on request. Value for money.
• John (9/5): Would recommend and would use again if in London - Very quiet side road although tower block construction site ongoing during the day. Easy 5 minute walk from tube station, 10 minutes max to museums and Albert Hall. very efficient check in/check out. Nothing. Excellent all round
• Isaac (5/5): Was okay but didn’t enjoy it much - Location and staffs. Small rooms, boiler not working properly and too so long for shower to heat up.
• Emad Sabet (4/5): Be aware of constructions next door and poor internet - Great location - in center of everything and well connected by tube and busses - Noisy construction of high building next door and. - very poor internet. - Receptionist (an Asian man) was not honest in his feedback : 1- room is quiet. 2- last room available (we noticed 6 rooms were available at booking.com at the same moment..!!).
• Denis (1/5): - - Dear Booking.com Support, I am writing to complain about my booking at The Villa Kensington Hotel. When I made the reservation, the description and photos on Booking.com suggested a comfortable hotel room. However, upon arrival my wife was placed in a basement room. The room feels like it is in a cellar, which is very disappointing and far below the expectations created by the listing. I believe it is unacceptable to accommodate guests in a basement room without clearly informing them in advance. This is not what we expected when choosing the hotel through your platform. I am writing on behalf of my wife, Antonina Kosareva, as I made the booking for her. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue. If possible, please help arrange a change of room or provide another suitable solution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Kind regards, Denis Kosarev No response... as from hotel
• mariano (8/5): - Situación excelente,cerca de metro Gloucester Las camas, individuales y algo estrechas
• Alison (9/5): It was alright but needs more attention to detail. - It was comfortable it was near to places that I like in that part of London South Kensington area. It hadn’t got any radiators in the room and was cold in the evenings. It also didn’t have the right type of soya milk or equivalent, so I had to buy my own.

• Lenka (9/5): A good place, good value- and excellent staff! - The staff! SO nice and helpful. It's a nice place, everything is there. Not a high luxury but the price is great and good value for the money. I was cold at night and honestly couldn't figure out how to raise the temperature. I wished the bed cover was warmer. Ended up sleeping in three layers of clothing.
• Shirley (7/5): -
• Daniela (10/5): - You had too few vegetables for breakfast.
• Nancy (8/5): -
• Fleur (9/5): klein maar fijn - Goede locatie, Underground was om de hoek, waardoor je met 5 minuutjes lopen bij 3 verschillende metrolijnen bent. badkamer was klein maar fijn. Kamer was gelijk naast de lift, dit beteknde dat ik best wat geluidsoverlast had.
• Michelle (10/5): -
• Dario (10/5): Cortesia e disponibilità dello staff. Ottima posizione. - Cortesia e disponibilità dello staff. Ottima posizione.
• Lamya (6/5): - الموقع ممناز حدا وراقي وامان وقريب من محطة مترو وقريب من شارع رئيسي ملئ بالمطاعم والمقاهي يوجد تكييف ويوجد شطاف وهذي تعتبر اهم ميزتين للسكن في لندن الاستقبال متعاونين وبشوشين و تركنا الحقائب عندهم قبل موعد التشك ان الغرفه لثلاثه اشخاص مساحتها صغيره جدا وحمام واحد وفي الدور الاول بجانب الاستقبال وطلبت ترقية الغرفه للادوار العليا لكن اعتذروا بحجة عدم التوفر والهوتيل اعتقد انه ثلاثه ادوار ليس كبير جدا
• Maria Belen (7/5): Buena relación precio calidad - La ubicación es muy buena, con las lineas de metro que pasan por Gloucester Road pude moverme a toda la ciudad! De noche la cuadra del hotel tiene poco movimiento, pero nunca me paso nada. El wifi es muy malo, la conexión no es estable. No oude usarlo desde mi habitación en ningún momento de mi estadía. Si queres tener wifi tenes que ir al lobby.
• Esther Eva (4/5): -
• Yaren (10/5): -
• Patricia (8/5): Our London visit - The beds were comfortable and the breakfast was good. The staff were friendly and helpful. The twin room was small. It was hard to open suitcases to utilise. The bathroom was very small, no room to move.
• Cintia Gabriela (9/5): I love London. - Me encantó la ubicación, las comodidades del hotel y, por sobre todas las cosas, la atención brindada por el personal de recepción, en particular, Shareeq, gracias a él pudimos resolver dudas, llegar a los destinos planeados e, incluso, nos ayudó a coordinar otros paseos. Una experiencia inolvidable. Creo que se podría mejorar la limpieza y el desayuno.
• Cheryl (6/5): We would stay here again but would like to see the accommodation updated and full English breakfast - Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was good. Nice smell in room. Room and bathroom were small, dated and would benefit from a fresh coat of paint, curtains mended and mould removed from bathroom ceiling. Furniture chipped. A bottle of water would have been nice in the room. Breakfast could have included a traditional cooked breakfast with eggs, bacon, mushrooms etc rather than just a fried egg on the plate.
• Di (9/5): It is a great location if you want to come and London with the hop on hop off buses at the end of - The location was fantastic, very close to public transport and variety of places to eat I would have liked if there was a small bar fridge in the room

• Paula brito (10/5): - Os funcionarios muito atenciosos A casa de banho estava um pouco suja
• Marjolyn (7/5): - Top.location Friendly staff Shower Matrass a bit firm
• Claudio (8/5): Hotel com bom custo x benefício. - A localização é ótima! Perto da estação de trem, de pubs, mercados e fast foods como Burguer King, KFC e Stabucks. A manutenção dos quartos deixa a desejar… Tivemos problemas de entupimento do box do chuveiro que perdurou até o fim da estadia, mesmo tendo avisado desde o primeiro dia.
