Guest Reviews
- Kimberley (8/5): - Room was amazing, clean and perfect for the stay. The staff were very helpful. The room is large spacious and has all you need. I will highlight that the kitchen is equipped with everything, but this does mean the cupboards are full so if staying and wanting to keep food etc, unless its for the fridge, there is not much space. The only actual downside is the penthouse room is really only accessible by the lift, which is very small, slow and frequently used by other guests. The emergency fire exit stairs aren’t really for regular use, and you can be waiting for the lift for a while. The lift also breaks frequently, but the staff do get on to it and fix super quick. Overall though, the stay was great!
- Jennifer (10/5): - The location was great. It is walkable to underground station in 3min. Great dining area is around. Mostly the room was pretty spacious and very clean. Staffs are very friendly. We had little problem with UK’s outlet system, but they helped us to solve the issues. Gym was also great which open 24 hrs with updated equipments. My family loved staying there!
- Samantha (10/5): - The executive two bedroom apartment with two bathrooms was perfect with two teenagers. During a heatwave in London the staff provided fans in the bedrooms. Suggest the apartment needs to have a microwave & toaster.Great location to supermarkets & transport in South Kensington.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Location! Location! Location! Staff! Staff! Staff! We always stay here! Tube station, Tesco Express, pubs all within a couple of minutes. Apartments r well equipped!
- Chris (8/5): - Kitchen separate from other rooms. Quite adequate for most meal preparation. Saves eating out all the time. Would certainly stay again.
- Paul (10/5): - Penthouse was amazing
- Hong Fai (10/5): - Great location, wonderful staff
- William (10/5): Nice apartment - Good comms, reception, area
- Lynda (10/5): - Convenient to tube station. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
- Roslyn (10/5): Great location, clean and spacious - The location is fantastic, 2 mins from Gloucester Rd tube station. Check in was really easy, just remember you will need photographic ID. The studio was clean, and had everything we needed. Loved having a TV in both the bedroom and lounge area. I can't fault tgese studios and will definitely stay here next time I am in London.
- Martin (10/5): Great location - Great location for Albert hall and very friendly staff on reception. Room was perfect. Overall excellent stay
- David (10/5): - Really attentive and friendly staff. Apartment was lovely and spacious. Clean and well equipped. Handy for London shopping , museums, Royal Albert Hall etc
- Grant (4/5): - Pro: relatively inexpensive for the area. very convenient for tube, dining etc. Con: lift not working. very tired room and furniture, stale smell. felt more like a hostel. was also surprised to see room windows wide open when i arrived giving street access to room via fire exit.
- Louise (10/5): - We really enjoyed this property, had everything we needed and was close proximity to local amenities.
- Tracy (8/5): - Very spacious apartment in Kensington. Proximity to tube is good and several close grocery store. Housekeeping was fantastic. Property could use some updating but overall very comfortable stay. Elevator is extremely small and could present a challenge if you have a bigger family, wheelchair, or pram.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very functional apartment. Was great to have space. Ac worked fine but didn’t quite get cool enough. The second bedroom ac was not good. Still the place was very nice. Service and cleanliness were very good.
- Betty (8/5): - Some of the furniture looks shabby,, some bathrooms have no shelves for toiletries , bathrooms could use door hooks. The staff is outstanding. Love being so close to the tube!
- Tim (8/5): - The terrace attached to the penthouse was excellent. Staff were super helpful and friendly. The tiny lift to the 6th floor/penthouse should be replaced ASAP. It broke down twice while we were in it.
- ALI (10/5): - Good
- Rebecca (10/5): - Fabulous place to stay in a great location. Reception staff were super helpful 5 stars
- TODD (10/5): - Unexpectedly great property walking distance to all major sights and tubes. Very affordable
- Cameron (10/5): Brilliant location. - Wonderful location. 2 minute walk from Gloucester Rd station. Entrance is not marked clearly and we walked past it initially. Check in was smooth and the desk friendly. Apartment is spacious for a couple and very well set up. Furniture is looking fairly worn but still fine. Bed is comfortable on the softer side. Only issue was that the air conditioner didn’t appear to work. However there was a portable fan. Fair value. Great location. Certainly recommend.
- Steven (10/5): - Location was great and property was exactly as expected. Had zero issues and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
- Dennis (10/5): Super Harrington! - The welcome was amazing and team super courteous. The room was spacious and the amenities adequate for our needs, travelling with my partner and our baby. The location was excellent for all the nice things London has to offer. Pre-visit communication can be improved as a few messages I had sent earlier were responded to late.
- Nicholas (10/5): Spacious flat - great for family - Great location, right by the Gloucester Road tube station. We booked the 1 bedroom apartment which was a spacious flat with separate bedroom, bathroom and living room/ kitchen. The separate spaces made it easy to prepare meals as well as put our kid to bed early and stay up later without waking him up. The staff was present and helpful with any questions or requests we had. The only negative thing we had was about the room structure, which is more about the structure of the building itself. The living room/ kitchen space had no window to the outside. At night this was no big deal, but in the morning / day time, this made the space dark and depressing.
- Jonathan (10/5): - We had a lovely stay, the apartment was excellent, large , very comparable, good amenities & great views over London. We will be back the next time we’re in London.
- William (10/5): Pleasant apartment - The room was a good size, 2 huge balconies, everything provided. Lift to room too. If my only possible safety comment, if you are infirm, pray the lift works, the emergency staircase is steep.
- Stuart (8/5): - Penthouse was lovely although as lift out of order 120 step climb everyday not ideal
- Joshua (10/5): Second to none - From the moment we entered the building it was amazing, the staff were so kind and welcoming. When we got into the room, it was even better than the pictures. We felt right at home, the bed was amazingly comfortable, the kitchen had everything you could need, the bathroom was well equipped too. Would definitely stay again guaranteed.
- Suzanne (10/5): Great place - We had such a lovely overnight stay with our 2 year old! Having an apartment made our life so much easier than just a hotel room, there was more space than the pictures showed too! The staff were really lovely and couldn’t do enough to help. Great value for money and we will definitely return!
- Michael (10/5): - We loved the Harrington Apartments and had a great stay. The apartment was large, spacious, beautiful and clean.The location was excellent just a short walk from Gloucester Road tube Station and we used the Piccadilly line to get in and out of Central London and perfectly located for our concert at the Royal Albert Hall which we walked back from.The staff were so friendly and welcoming and took an interest in us and could not have been more helpful. We are definitely going to go back to The Harrington Apartments on our next trip to London. Great eating options in the immediate neighbourhood. Mike and Gill Wilson December 23
- Alexis (10/5): - Great location and felt totally safe. Staff available 24/7 and they were super friendly and helpful. Our studio was well stocked with everything a traveler would need. Our place was clean and comfortable. Staff and housekeeping exceeded expectations. Will definitely return here.
- Alistair (8/5): Location is a winner - Location is a winner close to eateries and underground. We had a one bedroom apartment with nice well equipped kitchen. Bedroom was on the small side but sitting room was a good size. Service was exceptional, very personable staff.
- Steve (8/5): - Good points. The bathroom and shower are excellent. The air con was good and easy to control. The kitchen is clean and functional. Shops restaurants nearby. Bad points. The walls are paper thin...we were in apartment room 501 on the upper level and could clearly hear the admittedly unnecessarily loud conversations from next apartment. Thankfully we dont speak arabic and mercifully there was no late evening chatter or we would have had to complain.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Location was great and staff was great. The place needs a little work. The sofa in family area is horrible and very uncomfortable to sit in. It says it had a full freezer but it did not. One of the bathrooms had a shower curtain and made it horrible to shower in because it stuck to you and it did not contain the water in the shower. The Wi-Fi was not great and gave us problems. The fact that it had AC was a bonus if your looking for that. Overall it's not a place I want to hang out in during the day but that was not what we were there for so no big deal. I just expected more for the large nightly stay and was quite disappointed.
- Kathleen (4/5): - Location was good but the unit was disappointing. Front desk staff also very rude. Not all units have laundry facilities as stated on Expedia. When we asked at the front desk, we were told that we had to walk with our washing 8 mins to do it. Then told we should have rung to check laundry facilities. We arrived back one day to find housekeeping had left our front door wide open and were nowhere to be seen. We didn’t even ask for them to make up the room - they just let themselves in. Tiny elevator. Good location but that’s about it…
- Christopher (8/5): - The property was close to everything we needed. It’s just a walk away to a grocery store and tons of sites!
- Mark (10/5): 5 days of London life - Perfect spot to see London, travel on the tube, eat... rest. Can't ask for more. I've been living and working in London over 30 years off and on.... you can call this place your home in London while visiting
- Anna (10/5): - i liked the property very much. no concerns at this time
- Ann (10/5): - Always stay at The Harrington when in London. Love that we have our own apartment for a few days, and love that we can walk up to the park quickly, and hop on the tube even more quickly.
- Guy (8/5): - Great location and the room had a very useful kitchen area with most things you need to be self sufficient. The front desk staff were welcoming. The room and hotel look a bit tired for furnishings and fittings and the bed wasn't comfortable. Avoid a room with a connecting door to the neighbouring room. Sound carries.
- Sarah (8/5): Super Room, Super Staff.. noise from next door - Apartment was lovely, staff super friendly, unfortunately my room 403 was an interconnecting room and the guest next door arrived late on the Thursday and got up very early on the Friday which meant my bedroom was lit up with their light and the hairdryer and walking around was very distracting from getting any sleep.
- Ann (10/5): - Have stayed at the Harrington quite a few times and always love being there. The staff is always incredibly helpful and professional and the location is always convenient.
- Stephen (10/5): - this is a great place to stay in south Kensington, and it comes with a fully equiped kitchen
- Alison (10/5): Perfect stay for family of 4 - Our first time as a family of 4 and the apartment was perfect for us, lots of space for our 2 teenage daughters. The staff were extremely friendly, it was in an excellent location, we will definitely be returning.
- Ann (10/5): - Great location. So nice to feel that we have our own place when staying in London.
- Kay (8/5): Weekend away - Very nice and in a great location. Would stay there again
- heather (10/5): Aprtment well situated - Fabulous apartment, well situated for tubes, shops, Kensington Palace & bars. Great check in, lovely staff, very helpful. Bag storage avaiable & would definitely stay here again!!
- Colin (10/5): - Excellent location and facilities. Would stay again.
- Milton (2/5): - Very noisy, bed creeks every time you move and bad scuff marks on the centre piece of the floor, which is the first thing you see when you enter the room. Location is good and staff are friendly. Unfortunately our stay was ruined by noise of the family sharing the same floor. Constant crying and voices heard late at night and from 0615 through to 1030 (ie, when they left the hotel). I booked based on the alleged “sound proof rooms and quietness”. We have a long journey today which has been interrupted by lack of sleep. It felt like we were sharing our room with the family and their baby. To make matters worse, the bed creeks every time you move or roll over. We feel completely shot changed, tired and annoyed. The rest of our weekend plans have now been affected by this!
- Bobby (10/5): Looking forward to my next stay - I was surprised by the courtesy and amazing level of service. After much difficulty on my flight, arriving here truly calmed my nerves.
- Martin (10/5): - Reception very friendly Apartment clean and a good size Location was excellent I would recommend
- Verified traveler (2/5): Hated my stay there ! - I would NOT recommend The Harrington. I found the front desk staff to be unfriendly and rude. More importantly a member of cleaning staff barged into my apartment when I was in the apartment without waiting for me to answer the door. The apartment had already been cleaned earlier in the day by her so I told her it was not ok to just enter rooms without a reason especially as she didn’t even knock and wait for an answer !! She said she thought it was ok to enter the apartment as she had been in there earlier to clean ???? Really ????
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great place near Natural History Museum - Nice location near the Natural History Museum. Comfortable bedrooms with minimal noise from the street so made for a pleasant overnight rest. Hyde Park closest green space for kids to run around so 15 min walk. Kitchen was ample size but didn’t cook a meal. Otherwise comfortable size for a family
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very good stay. Location couldn’t have been better. Very close to the tube and shops/restaurants. Large studio was bigger than I expected from the photos, well equipped and kept scrupulously clean by housekeeping. Every single staff member that I met was pleasant and helpful. Had a small plumbing issue which was immediately dealt with. Will be back on my next visit to London.
- C (6/5): OK, but I've stayed at better places for the price - The property was very clean overall, but two areas of kitchen could do with a deep clean - the the oven racks were grimy; and the tiny freezer compartment in the fridge was not only compacted with frost, but didn't even freeze the food anymore, meaning that what we stored in it melted. Apart from that, the rest of the room was good. The bed was very comfortable and I would book again if I only needed it for a night or two and the price was lower than the place at which I usually choose to stay.
- Paula (10/5): Highly recommend - Spacious comfortable apartments. Hotel staff were super helpful and accommodating. Great location too- near to tube and lots of restaurants nearby. Apartments were equipped excellently though personally I would have liked to have a frying pan and coffee pot! Would definitely recommend and will stay again
- Rhona (10/5): Percect - Perfect accommodation for a weekend in London. Spacious accommodation to a good standard. Fantastic location near to Gloucester Road underground. Lots of nice shops and restaurants in great area. Will definitely return and would recommend
- Tracy (10/5): Very comfortable stay - Lovely comfortable stay. Booking in easy. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room clean, bed very comfortable. Servicing of room excellent, even done our washing up we'd left at breakfast. Comfortable sofa too, great kitchen facilities
- John (10/5): Family holiday - Fantastic location for transport, tube and bus services 200yds away. Friendly staff and plenty of restaurants at location.
- Nicola (10/5): Modern apartment near a tube station. - Apartment was roomy and was ideally placed only about 200 metres from tube station. Was clean and modern. Ideal for a night’s stay in London. Only minor quibble was noise from traffic but that’s what is expected in London.
- Juliana (10/5): Amazing place to stay! - The staff were amazing and the hotel was beautiful. It’s in a lovely area with fabulous bars, restaurants and tea room. We would highly recommend.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - My experience with Harrington gardens was a very good experience, customer’s service was 10/10, the cleanness of the apartment was very good and well maintained! Very much pleased with my stay! Will defo book again!
- Christine (8/5): Wonderful stay - Lovely clean accommodation in an excellent location service was great on check-in and departure would definitely stay again
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This is an excellent well presented property great location 5 mins from Gloucester Road station. Also very close to museum's and the Royal Albert hall.
- CLARE (10/5): - Excellent place and location for what we needed. Room was small but immaculate, Bed was very comfortable. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We definitely will stay again.
- Damian (8/5): Nice place, good location. - The room was spacious and clean. They take on and use all Covid precautions and checks during the stay. The staff are polite and helpful. Very minor concern for me, was in the room, not sure bed frame fit the bed, seemed to stick out and I hit my legs several times when walking around it.
- Jowan (8/5): Fun in London - This hotel is nice and about one block from Gloucester Station. So if you take the Piccadilly line from Heathrow Airport you won’t have to go far with your luggage. There’s a mini market for groceries and lots of places to eat. We were in London for over a week and ate at the English Pub a few nights. The people in the neighborhood were friendly and I felt safe with my girls. I plan to go back sometime and will probably stay at the hotel/apartment again.
- Beth (8/5): - We always stay at the Harrington when we are in London. Great location and have full apartment unit.
- Beth (10/5): - When we are in London we love staying at the Harrington. Great location, clean and quiet. all the amenities (kitchen, sitting room and bedroom). Staff are always helpful. love it.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Cool, unique property with really good service in a great location
- Lynn (10/5): Perfect Play! - Incredible-is stay here again’. Everything was perfect!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The building construction noise next door was ridiculous! They should have warned visitors in advance and given them the opportunity to switch hotels. Sad that it required guests to complain before it was addressed.
- TSE L (8/5): - The room bedroom was dark. It’s simply not bright enough if you want to work at night.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Check in fast and luggage’s taken to room . Fabulous location 2 ND time stay this year 🙂
- Daniel (8/5): Great place centrally located - Pleasant stay. Excellent price quality ratio. A little laud early in the morning but else excellent.
- Magda F El (10/5): - Wonderful stay and I reserved for the summer there again
- Magda F El (10/5): - Nice place to stay
- Chris (10/5): - Close too Underground. Surprisingly quiet. Handy to Heathrow. Very central.
- D.Mc (4/5): - Despite my overall review grade, I must commend the staff of the apartel for their friendliness, helpful attitudes, and courtesy with issues generally beyond their control. However, I cannot rate higher otherwise. In booking the "penthouse" suite, I expected to be awed by the room. Unfortunately, I found the amenities [though nice] to be stuffed in small space touted as a penthouse. The bathroom was slightly larger than one found aboard an airplane with mirrored walls throughout, which provided the user with no benefit but offered user a panoramic view of oneself "taking care of business" (not exactly preferred). Additionally, the shower basin was exceedingly shallow, thus resulting in extensive leaks under the door into the micro-bathroom area when rainfall shower-head was used. The mirror wall theme was extended throughout the penthouse room for some reason I can only assume was intended to give the space the impression of a larger area belying its small size. The kitchen area was nice and well stocked with utensils, but the location of the eating table between the living area & smallish (~42") TV seemed out-of-place and inconvenient for anyone wanting to relax and watch a show or movie sitting 15 ft away. Last to my disappointment was an extensive patio area with impressive views of London skylines BUT without anything provided as a place to sit. When I questioned, I was advised kitchen chairs could be used? Not a thought-out feature for a penthouse suite I'd say.
- Vicky (10/5): - Having previously lived in London, I return often to visit. This was by far the best place I've stayed. The flats are very nice, clean and staff is very accommodating helping with every need you have. The location is also the best having supermarkets, buses and the tube so close. Will definitely choose this accommodation again!
- Peter and Christina (6/5): Great location - This hotel had the potential to be excellent. The elevator did not work to our floor. I discovered this after checkin. It wasn't mentioned..the hotel was run by foreigners which didn't really have knowledge of London. It felt somewhat like a 4*backpakers
- Susan (10/5): - Great location within steps of the tube/great restaurants/Hyde Park.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location, near tube station Tiny bed and ensuite bath room charges an arm for room extension
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great spot to stay close to excellent amenities and tube to other parts of London.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great stay. - Great stay. Had strong air conditioning in London during the summer heat wave.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay - A wonderful location and great service even when we arrived late in the evening the reception team were very helpful. With a toddler in tow and all the accompanying luggage they offered to help. The cleaning and service team are also to be commended as they managed to navigate toys and teddies with great ease in our apartment as it was always clean and tidy.
- Verified traveler (10/5): A Kensington gem. - Fantastic place to stay for a London break. Quick and efficient service always.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - They overbooked us and didn't let us know and basically kicked us out when we showed up and asked for them to find us another hotel.
- Roger (10/5): Superb studio apartment - Superb studio apartment with fantastically well-equipped separate kitchen not far from Albert Hall and museums of South Kensington. Quality of the room was excellent. All the staff were extremely responsive helpful.
- John (8/5): Awesome Suite - I stayed in several hotels on my recent trip to the United Kingdom, and this was my favorite hotel, very clean, I needed a suite, since my niece was staying with me, and I could not ask for a better room. I do think the front desk did a great job, and I thought the laundry service was reasonably priced. Although a short walk from Gloucester Road tube station on Picadilly Line, if you have a lot of luggage you can take the 74 bus for about 5 minutes to Earl's court. Thanks for making my London trip a great experience.
- adrian (8/5): Great room, but some renovations at the moment. - Small apartment but in lovely condition, very clean and in room amenities as described. However, the hotel reception and general building seem to be undergoing renovations. We chose the hotel because it advertises fitness facilities. There are none, which is disappointing given it says there are. Reception is currently squished into an office space. Why not tell customers in advance????
- Verified traveler (4/5): Shabby and tired - Have been revisiting this place for some years but the quality has gone down The furniture was worn and tattered Staff were as helpful as they could be but they tried to move me to their building next-door which was an auto building site and completely dangerous for people to come in and out of I left early and changed hotels
- Verified traveler (6/5): Poor experience - This was my fourth stay over several years and the place was extremely shabby this time Worn out sofas, curtains that felt dirty, scary Cheddar up floors and the first St room they had me in was dark and super small Will not return again Not good value for money
- ORAPHAN (4/5): Perfect location, Terrible room and the condition! - Really old building, old bedroom and bad bathroom comparing to the high room rate! Location is one perfect thing, just the service apartment is too old. The service was not that bad, however, I would want to amend the booking date as my partner got the visa issue and will arrive later date, but they refused for the change nor for the help nor suggestion! Very High deposit, need to prepare cash or credit card during the stay, really bad as it isn’t 5 stars hotel but room deposit was charged as 5 stars hotel!
- Debra (10/5): Fab hotel in a great location! - All things about the hotel added up to a wonderful experience. The room was spacious and clean, the location fantastic, and the staff were friendly helpful. Highly recommend it!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We were only here for one night but were very impressed. It is very close to the tube and a. good selection of local places to eat. Reception staff were superb and very helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The location of the apartments was excellent being close to the tube, supermarket and nice places to grab meals. The staff were very helpful and professional. The only thing I would say is that the rooms are very stuffy, even with the air conditioner on.(the air conditioner is also quite noisy) We opened the windows which helped a bit but it was still difficult to sleep. There is also no handrail in the bath/shower which makes it a bit slippery when getting out of the over bath shower.The bed is also a double bed which makes for a close sleeping relationship with your partner 😁 The pillows are very firm also but as this is a personal preference others may like them. There is also no laundry in the building but a laundrette is located about 10 minute walk away.The location and staff are the best thing about this place.
- stuart (6/5): Thin walls - Paper thin walls. Curtains and windows let a lot of light and noise in. Good location.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Harrington for a week. - Excellent choice for us for 8 day London sightseeing. 1 bedroom with kitchen worked well. We were in 2 - the first had double bed and tiny shower, the second was larger and had queen or king and a tub. Furnished well. Outstanding desk staff. One night clerk saw us in Harrods and told us of a message for us at the hotel. Then he called the hotel to let them know we had been contacted. Hotel pretty thoroughly remodeled with very modern decor. Location great -,1/2 block from Glouster St station and 3-4 blks. from Science and V & A Museums. We enjoyed DaMarios, Thai Taste, and Wright Bros. restaurants. Cafe Nero coffee shop across street was great for “Starbucks-type” place. Waitrose Grocery also +. Definitely recommend this hotel.
