• Anne (8/5): Situation exceptionnelle, entretien perfectible - L’emplacement fabuleux a deux pzd de hyde park et du palais de kensington. Le rangement : du linge était en train de sécher dans une chambre et du linge humide restait dans la machine à laver, ce qui rendait impossible son utilisation sans s’en occuper au préalable. La vaisselle : elle n’était pas propre. À l’arrivée : les poubelles nous accueillaient devant la porte.
• Montse (8/5): - Ubicación y el apartamento
• Abia (10/5): Very clean and well-maintained two-bedroom apartment in Kensington Court, ideal for a short stay. - It was very easy the staff connected with me all time on whatsapp group during my stay they guide me before Check In they send me all details in video link and everything for easy check in. i like when i check in the apartment the apartment was already clean ready for me.
• Maria (7/5): - Η τοποθεσία ήταν πολύ εξυπηρετική (Μέσα μαζικής μεταφοράς και εγγύτητα στο κέντρο και σε σημεία ενδιαφέροντος) και η γειτονιά πανέμορφη. Επίσης, το διαμέρισμα ήταν πολύ ευρύχωρο και ζεστό. Το διαμέρισμα χρειάζεται ανακαίνιση. Έχει σε πολλά σημεία υγρασία, φθορά σε πατώματα (κατά τη βάδιση έτριζαν) και κακή λειτουργία του υδραυλικού συστήματος (έκαναν πολύ θόρυβο κατά τη χρήση). Επίσης, χρειάζεται ανανέωση στις πετσέτες.
• Darren (2/5): Very disappointing apartment offering no privacy when using bathroom - The property was clean. The owners allowed us an early check in. We were told the original apartment had a water leak and couldn’t be used. We were offered ‘an upgrade’ but this was not an upgrade. The apartment had broken tiles in the bathroom floor with a risk to cutting bare feet. The handle on the bathroom door was broken and was not replaced for two days, i.e. the length of our stay. We could not close the bathroom door for privacy when using the toilet as it would lock you in.There were 4 of us sharing with little privacy in the bathroom. Shower in the bathroom did not work, so all shared a shower in the larger double bedroom. Didn’t like the fact that the owners didn’t attempt to resolve the broken bathroom handle even though they told us it was broken at 12pm when we dropped our bags off. We thought they would resolve this throughout the day of our arrival.
• Daniel (3/5): - Location; very near the high street and next to Hyde Park. The area was also very quiet and safe. Beds were very comfortable. Damp smell within the sitting room and kitchen. The kitchen ceiling had high humidity with the paint peeling off. We arrived late at night during our first day and we found that there was no toilet paper available. Some properties will provide tea, coffee, milk, and sugar at least upon arrival, we were disappointed that these hadn't been made available.
• Neiszer (7/5): -
• Hanif (9/5): - Really enjoyed the stay ; warm & welcoming host; made everything easy from check-in / check-out. The flat was beautifully set up, and felt home. Good location too– safe, quiet, and close to local high st. & the park. Would visit again!
• Camilla (9/5): Direi molto bene! - La posizione fantastica, casa accessoriata, con doppi bagni. La pulizia poteva essere migliore, nella sala c'era lo stendino con le lenzuola ad asciugare
• Ben (8/5): Very good -
• Andrew (10/5): A delightful enclave adjacent Kensington Palace. We will stay again, Thank you host - location
• Elaine (6/5): Good location but apartment was in need of some refurbishment. - Location was great. Being a basement flat it was a little damp. Needed some TLC. Towels had been left drying in the living room Workman still in apartment doing maintenance when we arrived.
• Joseph (4/5): Loved the location, will definitely not stay in this apartment again and not recommending to anyone - Location was perfect Apartment was old and damp, towels and beddings seem old. Although apartment was supposed to be professionally cleaned before stay, found dirt around the apartment and dirty kitchen utensils.
• Katherine (7/5): Very spacious and well equiped apartment close to Hyde Park. - Great position close to Hyde Park. Lots of space. Rooms were very generous in size. The washing from the people before ( towels sheets etc) was hanging in the lounge room when we got there.
• Jana (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfection. Close to everything we wanted to see. Just a few underground stops. We liked the patio which was rather small but comletely private. The manager was carrying and helpful. Asked us several times if we needed something.
• Haitham (10/5): Exceptional -
• Simon (8/5): Very good -
• Christophs83 (3/5): Acceptable - In general the flat is clean and the location is super. You have enough space with 4 people and even with 5 will be not a problem. The matrasses and the pillows quality in the master bedroom was good. The furniture in general was Ikea style and quite cheap, the matrasses and pillows quality of the second bedroom was poor and not the money worth it. For the check in we had some trouble, because the code of the key-safety box was wrong and we had to contact the host, which was not reachable by phone and we had to wait for the whats app message. The information to switch on the hot boiler was not clear and the WIFI signal was not strong enough to reach the second bed-room. Which was really a minus point, was the fact, that they are not accepting the check out policy by 12:00 which is mentioned on booking.com. The day prior the departure you will receive a what´s app message by telling you that you have to check out at 10:00 instead of 12:00. I didn´t saw this message and had a big discussion and stress on the day of the departure, because the cleaning staff was already at the flat at 10:00. I CANNOT recommend to stay in this property.
• Yvonne (7/5): Good location, but apartment needs some upgrades. - Good location and spacious for centre of London. The facilities need to be updated. The kitchen is old and smells. Garbage across the front door. There’s a lot of information to process about entering the property, how the property works and how to check out.
• Serhat (8/5): Very good - Location was excellent Staff were quick and helpful in responding to problems Damp smell was disturbing
• Andrew (5/5): Good location but some issues - Great and quiet central location and the flat is well furnished. Excellent shops and breakfast options just round the corner. Unclean pillow case, bedding drying in the lounge, and slightly tired facilities. Plaster debris on the kitchen worktop. Didn't actually meet the staff, but the cleaner arrived 11:30, before check out deadline, and although we said we weren't yet ready to leave, went on to the bedrooms to clean.
• Philippe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Irna (9/5): Perfect stay right across the Kensington garden. - Location was excellent! It was walking distance to high street Kensington underground station, the Kensington garden and the royal albert hall. Plenty of grocery stores nearby as well. Facilities are complete in the apartment. Everything was comfortable.
• Sinead (10/5): Great stay, hosts very helpful and welcoming. Excellent communication - Location
• Igor (8/5): Very good -
• Alexandra (8/5): Very good -
• Ziad (10/5): Exceptional - The location is extremely convenient and nice,it's near to all attractions and spacious. The apartment is a bit old needs some renovations however overall it's still recommended
• Kinga (8/5): Very good - Very good, quiet location. Spacious apartment. Internet (Netflix). Really good contact with the owners. In needs of modernisation. Very dated and used bathrooms.
• Antony (8/5): Excellent location, minor changes needed, excellent owner. - The apartment is in a great location, close to the tube and local attractions. Very pleasant area with good facilities locally for food and drink. The property is a little tired looking inside with a few bits that need a little attention, since leaving the property I have spoken to the owner who has been very concerned with the issues. He will be addressing these as his priorities are guests happiness and enjoyment.
• Daria (10/5): Apartment is very clean and comfortable. No problems during my stay. - Apartment is locacted close to metro statiotion. Very clean and comfortable. Good communication with the host.
• Hyungyoung (10/5): Exceptional -
• Diana (10/5): Elegant. - Large apartment (2 separate bedrooms, living room & kitchen, 2 bathrooms) situated in an elegant neighbourhood, close to Hyde Park/Kensington Palace. Close to metro station and to some good shopping places. Easy to go to the main attractions in London. We had a small problem with the heating system, but the owners instructed us how to fix it and even called a plumber shortly to check that everything is ok. Thanks!
• Jayant (9/5): Superb - Great flat in a prime location. Lovely hosts. Spacious and comfortable - 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms & scope for more with the sofa bed in the lounge. Very accomodating hosts / landlords. Thank you 👍
• Carly (9/5): Superb - Location is amazing!! Tube station within a 5min walk. Kensington gardens 2min walk.
• Ajaz (9/5): Enjoyable stay in heart of kensington close to main road and local amenities - Excellent location. Nice comfortable and spacious. Perfect for our needs. Took a while to get the heating and hot water but worked well after that
• Stephanie (9/5): Very good! - Was very well situated in the heart of London! Very convenient location from shops/restaurants however also very quiet and in an undisturbed location - even considering how close you are to the main high streets! The owners were VERY accommodating for us, they allowed us to stay a little later than the original check out time so my daughter could shower after her half marathon & they were quick to respond and very helpful with any questions we had. Would definitely book to stay here again! Not any dislikes, however there are around 15 steps down into the basement apartment so may not be suitable for certain families/individuals.
• Carla (7/5): Very communicative host to a spacious basement apartment within walking distance of local attraction - Very comfy beds and ideally located for RAH and tourist attractions Some maintenance attention required: light fitting in lounge is lying in a corner on the floor with wires hanging from ceiling; bathroom door fell on the floor when touched; security alarm is not connected (although we were sent instructions how to disarm it on entering and to reset when leaving) but there was a repetitive, loud beeping from the alarm box in the lounge. The hot tub advertised doesnt exist
• Essa (9/5): Superb - I liked the location of the apartment, close to the Hyde Park and the markets I did not like the apartment, its location in the basement, and I did not know it before booking, but it is okay and needs some simple maintenance, and the bed is differentfrom what is in the website’s picture. But it's okay if I visit London again I will book in the same apartment .
• Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Loved staying at the apartment located in this most beautiful part of Kensington closer to the park, restaurants, tube, high street; quiet and serene. The host had made it clear for us not to expect it to be a hotel as he uses it as home; very hospitable, and their agent was quick to respond. The sofa bed in the lounge was perfect for our 3 kids. Will definitely come back & highly recommend it as 9/10.
