Guest Reviews
- Anssi (9/5): Good value - Was upgraded from the windowless to a "jacuzzi suite". Old building but modern setup. Good location close to Queensway and Bayswater tube stations. Decent price. Reasonably sized room Plenty of wall plugs. Good lightning. Tiny but useful kitchenette. OK desk. No gym. No breakfast available (as far as I could see).
- Souad (7/5): -
- Aurélie (7/5): - Hotel was well situated, the surroundings were calm, yet near metro stations and small shops Wouldn't recommend the jacuzzi suite. The room being downstairs, it is complicated to have it well ventilated, and the atmosphere of the bedroom quickly becomes warm and humid.

Zona ben servita Tutto ok
- Nicholas (9/5): -
- Ekaterina (1/5): - I travel a lot and have stayed in many hotels, but this is the first time I experienced something like this.
The hotel refused to check us in after 10 PM, in London, a huge city where flights and trains are delayed every day. I booked and paid for the room, and only 10 minutes later received a message saying late check-in was impossible.
I tried to find a compromise and offered different solutions, including moving the booking to another day. The hotel refused every option.
For me, this is not about rules. It is about the complete lack of flexibility and customer care. If your flight or train is delayed, you can simply end up on the street after 10 PM, even if you already paid for your room.
I would never recommend this hotel.
- LAURA VIRGINIA (10/5): Volvería sin dudas - Ubicación,confort,relación calidad precio Nada
- Luca (8/5): -
- Claroline (8/5): City-trip mère-fils parfait - Chambre pratique et bien pensée, il y a tout le nécessaire.
La cuisine dans un placard est un véritable plus: avec frigo, micro-ondes, évier et même des taques si on veut se cuisiner quelque chose. Il y a également du café et du thé.
Notre chambre était lumineuse, donnait côté rue, dans un quartier calme, à proximité des transports, d'une rue commerçante et du parc, c'était vraiment très agréable.
Le genre d'endroits où on se voit revenir :) La porte coulissante de la salle de bain était coincée et ne fermait donc pas - ce n'était pas dérangeant pour nous (je voyageais avec mon fils de 12ans), mais cela pourrait l'être pour d'autres personnes.
Pour le reste, rien à signaler :)
- Dylan (10/5): -
- Lorenzo (7/5): Because of noise it was very unpleasant and impossible to have a good night sleep - Location Very noisy rooms… couldn’t sleep bcz of people walking upstairs
- Rebecca (8/5): -
- kasper (5/5): Godt - dog til den dyre side - Dejligt rent samt tæt på central london Der dryppede vand på badeværelset fra overboen
- DÖNE (9/5): Hébergement très satisfaisant, calme et agréable. Je recommande. - La situation géographique car proche des transports en communs (bus, métro), du parc, des commerces.
L'amabilité et service de l'accueil.
La possibilité de laisser les bagages à la réception.
Le confort du lit, la fonctionnalité de la salle de bain (pression d'eau parfaite, porte douche bien étanche), l'équipements de la chambre (micro-onde, frigo, plaque pour cuisinier)
- Klara (10/5): - Excellent location, very close to the metro and grocery stores. We could leave our luggage before check-in, and when we arrived later, it was already waiting in our room. The staff were very friendly, and the neighborhood felt safe and clean. Highly recommended!
- Elisabeth (10/5): - Excellent accueil au sein de cet hôtel, la réceptionniste était particulièrement sympathique et très accommodante, notamment pour garder nos bagages lors du check in et check out. L'hôtel est idéalement placé près de Hyde Park. De nombreux bus et métros sont à moins de 5 minutes de marche. La chambre était parfaite.

- Lucey (9/5): -
- Alessandro (8/5): -
- Maciej (9/5): Bardzo dobry, polecam! - Czystość, lokalizacja - blisko metra i parku.
Kuchnia w aneksie, sejf, tv. Gniazdka z portem usb.
Mały ekspres do kawy. Wejście do pokoju było troszkę ciasne ze względu na drzwi w korytarzu. Ale życzę żeby każdy miał taki problem :-)
- Sebastien (10/5): -
- Greg (10/5): - Room was perfect and well equipped - 20 minutes walk into oxford street but could grab a bike or underground nearby
- Constantin (1/5): -
- Helen (9/5): Convenient location and comfy rooms - Great quiet location considering where we were located. Close to Bayswater tube station so
quick tube ride on circle line to west end. Just the air con was slightly noisy but sporadic.
- Levente (10/5): Jó fekvésű, igényes szállás. - Nagyon jó környéken található, 2-3 perc a Hyde park, ugyanennyi egy sétáló utca ajándékboltokkal, élelmiszerboltokkal és éttermekkel.
A szoba bár nem nagy, de egy pár napos városnézéshez kiváló! Nagyon jól felszerelt (főzési lehetőséggel is rendelkezik), modern, igényes. Nem volt ilyen.
- Noella (6/5): -
- Tayfun (10/5): - Tesisin çalışanları güleryüzlü ve ilgiliydi. Tesisin konumunun hem parka hem de metrolara yakın olması tatilimizin keyifli geçmesini sağladı.
- Hafsa (8/5): Overall good stay close to everything you need only downfall is the tap in the bathroom being in the wrong place so your - Very central and tube stations are close by. A lot of shops to access ideal for a couple of days stay The bathroom had a bit of a foisty smell and the faucet was in the wrong place so making brushing your teeth a bit difficult
- Sandra (9/5): -
- Aleksandr (9/5): nice hotel - location is quite, in the near there are couple of groceries, including M&S food
two subway/metro station, Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park
in the room there is a small kitchen with everything you need + microwave + coffee and cream
staff is very friendly and supportive room is quite small, but any room in the hotel is kinda small
no second chair in the room, not enough hangers for outdoor clothes
- peter (10/5): Comfortable clean stay - Clean quiet good location. Room serviced daily. Kitchenette big bonus
- Matthew (10/5): -
- Luka (10/5): -

- KWOK SING (7/5): -
- Amelia (10/5): Highly recommended. Beautiful and clean - My flight was delayed but they were kind enough to make further arrangement to collect my keys.
The service was exceptional special thanks to Vinkheta who was very kind and polite, its very rare you get treated that way especially in London. One night wasnt enough. I will definately comeback and recommend this place. Nothing
- ADNAN (4/5): Great location and quiet neighborhood, but the poor reception experience and below-average cleanline - My stay at the hotel was average overall. While there were a few positives worth mentioning, unfortunately the negative experience with the receptionist had a major impact on my overall impression.
One of the hotel’s best features is its location. It is only about a 5-minute walk from the underground station and the restaurant area. There is also a nearby gas station and mini market. The neighborhood is quiet and suitable for people who prefer calm surroundings, and the hotel is close to Hyde Park. However, the biggest downside was the reception experience. Upon arrival, the receptionist treated us in a very unprofessional and unfriendly manner. We booked through Booking.com, and the booking policy clearly stated that children of all ages are welcome. As soon as she saw our five-year-old child, she immediately said in an irritated tone that children were not allowed in the hotel. After I showed her the Booking.com policy, she changed her statement and said that only children up to two years old were allowed, and that I would have to pay a penalty to Booking.com. When I explained that I had not paid any extra fee, she angrily replied that we would not be allowed an extra bed because the room was too small. I told her I did not need an extra bed since my child would sleep beside me, but that seemed to annoy her even more, and she responded that we would not be allowed to request extra sheets or pillows. At that point, I simply told her I did not want anything from them.
The second issue was that the room was extremely small. Another downside was that the hotel did not provide tissues in the room like most hotels do; only toilet paper was available in the bathroom. There was also no iron in the room, and the shampoo/body wash provided was barely enough for a single shower.
As for cleanliness, it was below expectations. Although the bed was made daily and clean towels were provided, the floors were consistently dusty to the point that my feet and socks would get dirty from walking inside the room.
- Elif Seyahat (5/5): Konum süper. Kısa konaklama için idare eder. Uzun konaklamada iki kişi için bunaltıcı. - Konum çok iyi. Hemen arka sokakta metro ve marketler var. Hyde parka çok yakın. Temizlik yetersiz, iki gece kaldık bırakın oda temizliğini çöpler bile alınmadı. Oda aşırı küçük, iki kişi için kesinlikle uygun değil. Depolama alanı yetersiz. Banyo lavabosu aşırı küçük ve kullanışsız. Mutfak denilen alan dolabın içinde .
- Sam (7/5): Great value for money, would stay again. - Great value.
Clean.
Great location.
Check in was easy. WiFi and phone reception not great.
Could be quite noisy.
- Elizabeth (8/5): - Really friendly staff, clean room, great location, working a/c. Bathroom door didn't close. Reported to reception when we left and she was super friendly.
- Lenka (8/5): -
- Anton (6/5): -
- Noelia (7/5): Agradable - La ubicación. Está cerca de paradas de metro y bus. Cómodo para desplazarte por Londres. Además, hay una calle justo detrás del alojamiento con varios establecimientos como restaurantes y tiendas, lo que es de gran utilidad. La zona es muy tranquila y segura y la habitación en sí es cómoda. Para dos personas solo había una toalla para cada uno y una toalla para la cara. No habia toalla para los pies. La pedimos y nos dijeron que solo tenían de cuerpo, cosa que no se entiende. Cuando nos duchábamos se ponía el suelo lleno de agua y fue incómodo y molesto. La habitación es pequeña.
- Nicola (9/5): -
- Paulina (10/5): Bardzo przyjemny hotel w świetnej lokalizacji - Świetna lokalizacja w cichej uliczce, ale jednak blisko restauracji i stacji metra (kilka linii)
Pokój ładny, czysty, było w nim wszystko czego potrzeba. Cena adekwatna do warunków
- Alix (8/5): -
- Laura (9/5): - Great location, room had everything we needed. Would stay again
- Carmen (9/5): - Het personeel was super vriendelijk. Daarnaast is de locatie ook perfect naast een mooi park en dichtbij de metro. De kamer zelf is klein maar bevat alles dat je nodig hebt. Niks
- Zeynep (5/5): -
- Britney (9/5): J’étais en paix dans ce lieu - C’était fabuleux !! La réceptionniste a été un amour! La chambre était vraiment comme sur les photos, le lit très confortable. Il y’avait qqc rayures sur les murs mais rien de grave. La cuisine top top super équipé j’ai même pu utilisé un grille pain. (N’achetez pas d’aliments frais encombrants pcq le frigo est petit)
Le lieu est très bien situé ( en zone 1) avec le métro. Et c’est tout près des moyens de transports, je reviendrai à 100%!! Je n’avais pas vrm de choses que j’ai pas aimé !
- Francesca (8/5): - La posizione è comoda, vicino a due fermate della metropolitana. Le stanze sono piccole e il letto matrimoniale è alla francese.
- Rob (8/5): -
- irene (10/5): Great hotel with great facilities - Great location close to stations Nothing
- Mehtap (8/5): Gayet keyifli, güzel bir konaklamaydı. Tekrar gelebilirim. - Temizlik,konum,çalışanlar. Oda içi imkanları çok iyiydi. Yataklar biraz daha büyük olabilirdi. Odalarda terlik bulunabilir.
- Keir (9/5): Had a great time, - Lovely area and tube station working a 5 min walk Jacuzzi bath took a very long time to fill, would have preferred a normal bath ( only because we were down for the Marathon x)
- Glenn (10/5): - Excellent location, Clair to Queensway and all its restaurants but in a quiet street. Lovely modern apartment. Very happy with this choose for a couple of nights
- Luigi (8/5): - I had a very pleasant stay at Nox Kensington Gardens.
The reception staff were extremely welcoming and kind, and they explained clearly and efficiently how to access the room.
The room itself was simple but very practical — clean, functional, and well-organized. The bathroom, although quite small, did not cause any real inconvenience.
The only improvement I would suggest is to provide a full set of towels per guest (both large and small). In our case, we were two people but only one small towel was available.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the accommodation. The location is excellent, very close to Queensway station, making it a strategic choice for exploring the city.
Definitely a top option in the Kensington/Westminster area.
- Jacopo (7/5): -
- Kane (8/5): -
- Robert (10/5): - Very simple and accessible services. Area is nice along with the staff who were great
- Stephen (6/5): - We were kept waiting outside for 10’ minutes when we arrived as the receptionist was not at her desk.
- James (8/5): Great location, great room but the blind in the room would need upgrading before we stayed again - The aircon and shower felt luxury after a long day of walking round! It was unbelievably clean as well Bedroom blind was really really poor, when the sun was rising at 5ish, it woke us up on both days as it made the room so bright and unbearable first thing.
The property would be flawless if it had a black out blind.
- Mark (8/5): -
- Hugo (10/5): Muy lindo hotel limpio y cómodo en un lugar espectacular.todo cerca - La organización. La comodidad el lugar y la limpieza Nada
- José (10/5): -
- Mihnea (9/5): -
- pecheux (8/5): - L’accueil était très bien!
- VINCENZO (8/5): - Ottima posizione dimensioni all'interno delle stanze
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Sara Semenzato (7/5): Ci tornerei - Buona posizione, comoda alla metro con vari locali e ristoranti per mangiare ma allo stesso tempo quartiere residenziale senza traffico, nessun rumore notturno infatti. Camera pulita con anche cucinino (dentro all'armadio)con macchina del caffè Nespresso e capsule, doccia grande con un bel getto.
Siamo arrivati dopo le 22 quindi ci hanno fatto fare gentilmente il check-in nel loro hotel gemello Hyde park, poco distante. Camera parecchio piccola ma negli standard di Londra, di conseguenza anche letto piccolo per due e lavandino del bagno mignon, ogni volta che ti lavi il viso, lavi anche per terra.
- Wu (10/5): -
- Jia Wei (8/5): -
- Yoko (9/5): 朝も気持ちいい快適なホテル - お部屋も清潔で快適でした!
周りが高級ホテルなので治安も良く、朝のお散歩も気持ちよかったです✨✨ チェックインの時間が15時から22時までだったので、戻ってこなくてはいけなかった。
- Gino (9/5): -
- Natasha (8/5): -
- Gonzalez (10/5): Bonne adresse à Londres - Hôtel très bien situé dans un quartier résidentiel agréable et calme à côté de Hide park très facile d'accès avec métros et bus à proximité.
La chambre était en très bon état, rénovée, propre , très bien équipée avec petite kitchenette, grille pain machine expresso, évier, bouilloire ,plaque chauffante, thé et café fournis pour se faire un petit déjeuner le matin.
Personnel à l'accueil très sympathique et arrangeant.
Nous retenons cette adresse pour un prochain séjour . Nous y reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
- Roberto (9/5): - Posizione perfetta, camera piccola ma completa e super accogliente Nulla
- Clelia (5/5): -
- ALICE (8/5): -
- Scott (7/5): I would recommend this. - The location was close to the underground. My wife really appreciated the lift.
- Lynn (9/5): Good value bolt hole for a quick trip to London - Small but clean and functional.
- Elizabeth (7/5): - The space was OK, a lot smaller then expected The bathroom looked a bit tired
- James (6/5): Nox Nox, who's there? - Location, facilities and bed were good. Thin walls, noisy neighbours, horribly uncomfortable pillows, which was a shame as the bed itself was comfortable.
- Olga (10/5): -
- Muhammad (7/5): -
- Zoheab (1/5): - Nice area No eletric for some parts no acknowledgement of anything
- BERTA (10/5): Perfecte - Tot en perfecte estat.
- Ralph (8/5): - Location
- Rojda (2/5): Pas wow - Le 16 avril 2026, nous avons demandé de l’aide à la réception pour un problème de climatisation. La réceptionniste a été très désagréable et impolie, malgré une demande faite calmement. Bien que l’intervention ait été rapide, son attitude nous a déçus et ne nous donne pas envie de revenir dans cet hôtel.
- Mathieu (8/5): -
- Robyn (10/5): - Clean space that is nicely decorated. Great location with a couple of tube stations right around the corner. We've stayed here 3 or 4 times now and keep coming back because it's great value for money, comfortable and has everything you need.
