Guest Reviews
- Oliver (7/5): -
- Emily (8/5): -
- Alessandro (7/5): Tranquillo soggiorno a Kensington - Ottima posizione, molto tranquillo e silenzioso Colazione migliorabile, stanza con arredi trascurati
- matt (10/5): Very comfortable - a nice quiet location, close to venue and I will certainly book this hotel again. - The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was small, a little tired, with wallpaper coming away at the walls - but it was clean and comfortable too, with an excellent shower and facilties like a separate sink and crockery were an added bonus.
The breakfast was good - I would have liked a protein in a cooked breakfast - but it wasn't a gamechanger. The lighting panel - lots of buttons, really confusing. I was in the dark much of the time.
- Jean Marc (7/5): - L'emplacement Trop cher pour la qualité et pdj très moyen dans une salle trop petite . 600 € pour 3 nuits
- Friedrich (4/5): - Lage Zimmer
- Siouxsie (8/5): - Lovely staff and clean room Rather limited breakfast
- SOFIA BOFFARDI (8/5): -
- Barry (10/5): - great hotel
- George (10/5): Nice hotel, very close to station. Will come again - Very clean and you have everything you need
- Josef (9/5): - Snídaně chutné a dostačující. hotel blízko metra. příliš úzké postele.
- Barbara (7/5): Tranquilidad en Kensington - Ubicación muy buena en un barrio tranquilo y seguro. Tienes la parada del treno casi en frente y buses a lado de la esquina.
Cama y almohadas cómodas para descansar bien. Sitio muy limpio y personal amable y disponible. Habitación un poco pequeña, sin mampara en la ducha, cada vez que te duchaba tenías que tener cuidado a no mojar todo el baño, que al final se mojaba lo mismo.
- Filippo (4/5): -
- Claudio (5/5): - Serviabilité du personnel. Propreté de l'hôtel. La chambre bien refaite tous les jours. Exiguïtés de la chambre, vraiment trop petite et qui ne donne aucune envie d'y séjourner. Le minimum pour y dormir.
La salle des petits déjeuners est sans saveur et sa verrière demande à être sérieusement nettoyée. Le breakfast proposé n'a rien à voir avec la photo alléchante du site booking.
- Stefano (6/5): - La colazione era scarsa e abbiamo avuto problemi con la somministrazione del caffè e del latte
- Martin (7/5): Good location. - The breakfast was good. We were happy with the hotel and injoyed our stay. Location we thought was very good. We liked the area very much, probably one of the best areas we have had in London. A bit of a walk to the underground, but bus stops very close. The room was compact, we find this a common problem with many hotels in London.

- Rania (10/5): -
- Jenny (9/5): -
- TRACEY (8/5): Lovely little hotel. clean room and nice staff - Good location
Nice breakfast
Pleasant staff
- Maëva (8/5): - Personnels agréables, serviables.
Propre, conforme aux photos.
Bon rapport qualité/prix.
Quartier calme. Cuisine ouverte sur la salle du petit déjeuner.
- Vito (8/5): Buonissima soluzione - Albergo pulito, personale cortese e disponibile. Stanza piuttosto piccola, nonostante avessi scelto una delle migliori.
- Judit (7/5): - Tiene cerca paradas de bus La habitación un poco pequeña
- Kwnstantina (10/5): -
- Kwnstantina (10/5): -
- Oriol (10/5): Buen hotel - Hotel situado cerca del centro, en una calle muy tranquila. Muy buena comunicación con metro/bus.
Buena calidad/precio considerando las tarifas de Londres. Nada a destacar
- yoliqui (8/5): London - Está súper bien comunicado. Te aconsejo que cojas habitación con baño . Está todo muy limpio y además te dejan usar la cocina para cenar. Te puedes comprar la cena fuera y calentartela La cama muy estrecha
- Ian (8/5): Very nice and clean breakfast was a bit cold - Location Cold breakfast
- Miloslava (9/5): - Zajímavé osvětlení, klidná lokalita, kousek od metra.
Skvělý přístup, rychlé ubytování. Malý, ale útulný pokoj s menší kuchyňkou. Mohla by být o kousek větší postel.
- Andrew (8/5): -
- Mohamed (5/5): -
- Sabrina (7/5): - 24h-Rezeption, haben uns vor der eigentlichen Frühstückszeit Frühstück zum Mitnehmen herausgegeben Kleinere Flecken auf dem Bettbezug und dem Vorhang, abblätternde Tapete,
- Linda (10/5): Staff so friendly - It’s in a perfect location Nothing
- Dhruva (10/5): - Quiet street. Reasonably priced. Huge beds. Good bathroom. Included breakfast. Slightly small room, but not too bad. Connection to the underground is 20 mins away. The Overground is very close, but frequency is much lower.
- James (8/5): Family holiday - Hotel in quiet residential area with good breakfast. Host was flexible with our needs The room was a bit tight in space. Train station nearby lacked connections with other major underground lines needing 15-20 min walk to other stations.
- Martyna (8/5): Hotel dobry na krótki wypad - Bardzo cicha i spokojna okolica. Śniadania dość skromne (chleb tostowy, ser, szynka, jabłka, gruszki, croissanty, dżem, płatki z mlekiem, jajecznica), ale smaczne. W pokoju było bardzo wygodne łóżko, nie było słychać sąsiadów, klimatyzacja dobrze chodziła pomieszczenie. Łazienka była na tyle mała, a zasłona prysznicowa na tyle krótka, że po każdym prysznicu trzeba było wycierać podłogę, bo była cała mokra. Lodówka słabo chłodziła. Zamiast przełączników w każdym pomieszczeniu przy drzwiach wejściowych był panel sterujący całym oświetleniem, więc za każdym razem trzeba było się do niego cofać idąc do łazienki, bo człowiek zapomniał, że w łazience sobie światła nie włączy.
- Tiffany (7/5): - The location, the breakfast, the nice quiet room, the ensuite and shower were good. The curtains really really smelled like an old persons armpit. The dim lighting (impossible to apply makeup in a mirror). The double bed was very small.
- Corinne (9/5): I will definitely be back! - It was super clean with a really comfy bed & a quiet location. The open shower … the water ended up all the floor which could be a slip hazard
- Kristyna (10/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): -
- Nofar (10/5): -
- Haley (10/5): Practical and comfortable - The location is absolutely incredible: I had read reviews talking about its practicality for events at the Olympia, but I would argue that as a base four touring around London, it’s an excellent choice too. There are tons of busses and tube stations nearby, and the neighborhood is gorgeous.
The staff were incredibly helpful, finding solutions to things we asked for, and always very pleasant. Everything was fine, we didn’t have any complaints.
- Pauline (10/5): - Lovely hotel The staff was lovely food breakfast was very nice and nice x clean
- Hugo (8/5): -
- Sophie (10/5): Super séjour - La localisation, le petit déjeuner, le confort, le ménage et le personnel très sympathique Tout est conforme aux photos, les chambres sont vraiment très petites mais pour quelques jours ça fait l’affaire
- Tracey (10/5): - Friendly staff, comfy bed slept great. Breakfast is great to! Nothing
- Ümit (8/5): -
- Francina (8/5): Great location for what we needed. The only down side is that the staff on duty when we arrived did not seem to know muc - We were going to the Hyrox London event at the Olympia so the location was great! Only a few minutes walk from the hotel. N/A
- Joanne (8/5): -
- Deborah (9/5): Perfect for what we needed - Great location for Olympia Nothing
- Lisa (8/5): -
- Katja (9/5): -
- Cynthia (9/5): - Le personnel était serviable et disponible.
Le petit dejeuner était parfait pour un court séjour.
La chambre était spacieuse avec un bébé.
Beaucoup de possibilité de transport. On était à 40 minutes du centre de Londres.
- Stefan (7/5): - nice clean comfy room. lovely memory foam pillows. the breakfast was rather lacklustre. no cereal options like muesli and the eggs were not great.
- David (10/5): Increible alojamiento - el hotel es chico, esta en una zona muy tranquila, casi no hay ruido del exterior. El cuarto muy acogedor, perfecto para descansar y relajarte
- Francesco (8/5): Bel soggiorno in una casa vittoriana - Sono stati gentilissimi a farci fare checkin prima del tempo, a darci extra asciugamani, gentilissima anche la cameriera Priya. Ottima colazione, bellissimo il fatto di mangiare in una specie di giardino d'inverno L'unico appunto sono i pulsanti delle luci della camera, veramente cervellotico il meccanismo...ma con un po' di pratica se ne viene a capo
- Sarah (10/5): Ideal - Great place, clean and convenient.
- francine (10/5): -
- Alona (9/5): -
- Rougebief (10/5): -
- Reni (9/5): Excellent accommodation. Receptionist was most helpful and always pleasant - Met my basic needs Would have liked a chair in the room
- Alison (8/5): - I could see the venue i was attending from the bedroom window Nothing
- BIGJ_973 (10/5): -
- Arlene (10/5): We very much enjoyed our stay the staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms are pleasant and comfortable and the c - Very comfortable and welcoming
- Deniz (4/5): It's good the for short accommodation. - Breakfast was good.The hotel was clean and the stuff were helpful. The room was right to the dining area.Unfortunately ,the smell of the food inside was very intense.Also ,although I didn't rest! all the sounds were in the room because the preparation was done very early in the morning.
- Michele Sambo (4/5): -
- PABLO (8/5): Boa localização, limpo e organizado. -
- Rachel (8/5): - Exceptionally quiet considering it was just off kensington high street. Very near olympia theatre for rail line into city. TV stopped working. If I had to point out something but it really wasn't a big problem the curtains were hanging off the joining in the middle. We had a nice breakfast the first morning however on the second morning we were on the later side coming down ie 9.50am breakfast finished at 10am and we just found some of the breakfast items tasted hard/reheated.
- Dorota (6/5): Good for a short stay unless you get a room in the basement - Dobrze zlokalizowany, smaczne sniadania, wyremontowany. Niestety otrzymaliśmy pokój w piwnicy, pomimo że na stronie hotelu ani w opisie zarezerwowanego pokoju nie ma wzmianki o takim ryzyku. Jeśli byłoby o tym wspomniane w porządku, wiem za co płacę, w tym wypadku informacja została zatajona. Natychmiast poprosiłam o zmianę pokoju jednak usłyszałam, że nie ma takiej możliwości.
Pokój miał jedno nieszczelne „okno” wychodzące na sale śniadaniową. Jeszcze zanim otworzyłam rano oczy czułam się jak na śniadaniu ponieważ wszystkie zapachy przedostały się do pokoju. Ponieważ pokój był w piwnicy było w nim zimno, musiał być stale dogrzewany klimatyzacją (brak kaloryfera).
Włączniki światła stanowią problem.
Pokój był pobieżnie odkurzony.
Być może gdybyśmy otrzymali pokój na pietrze ze światłem dziennym i brakiem sąsiedztwa z salą śniadaniową ocena byłaby inna, jednak tego pobytu na pewno bym nie powtórzyła.
- Natalia (10/5): -
- Adam (8/5): Good, but those light switches! - Simple check in, comfortable room. Good rate. Pleasant staff when talking to them. Smaller room than expected. Staff were very relaxed in appearance, and casual when on reception. (Bag on floor, leaning full strech) Didn't feel professional, and first impression (better impression when talking with them).
And those light switches in the bedroom.
Ever tried to operate them in the dark? Pointless, as you could turn on ANY of the lights waking your partner. Had to sleep with the bathroom light on to find it at night.
- Helen (10/5): Comfortable stay nice and clean, nice to have tea and coffee in the room. - Nice and clean, comfy bed and pillows. Receptionists was friendly and helpful. The light switch pad was hard to read too small, if you had poor eyesight it would be very difficult to use, we had to put our touch on our phones to see it.
- Sabrina (7/5): - Posizione, hotel ristrutturato, camera e bagno abbastanza spaziosi e ristrutturati - nuovo - breakfast room 🔝 Staff per la colazione non troppo cordiali e friendly - (breakfast room molto bello)
- LITING (8/5): 整體而言飯店設施完善,每天都有補充備品 - 飯店離機場很近,也住在算是豪華的地方。 離地鐵站有點距離
- Trevor (10/5): - Great location for Olympia, N A
- Pauline (10/5): - The hotel was clean beds and pillows was so comfortable Had a kettle ect in and a fridge was helpfully breakfast was good to
- william (9/5): very comfortble, very near to Olympia, we will use again - clean tidy room but small but good bed breakfast
- Jonas (8/5): -
- David (8/5): -
- Colin (8/5): Reasonable stay for the price. - The rooms are not sound-proofed as advertised, as I could hear conversation on a few occasions after 4am from the neighbour room.
- Thomaz (9/5): Cosy and pleasant stay at a great location - The room is comfortable and pleasant, great location an easy to check in and out. The staff was very helpful on a last minute need for a phone charger as mine stopped working late in the evening and rhey lent me a spare one. The breakfast was particularly good and above expectations. There was one minor issue that the shower curtains didn't hold the water well, making the floor wet after the shower. I stayed on a basement room which is great in term of quiteness most of the time, but it has a window to the kitchen/brakfast room that was left ajar behind a curtain, so I didn't noticed and it got noisy early in the morning as the breakfast started for other guests. I stayed in that room before and this wasn't not a big issue, but I suggest this is noted for new guests on arrival for that room, it would have been better to fully close the windon before going to bed, but I wasn't aware.
- Anju Sounanda Devi (9/5): - room and cleanliness short selection of breakfast
- Matthew (7/5): -
- Alessandra (6/5): Migliorare la pulizia dei bagni - Posizione Pulizia
- Bayne (7/5): -
- Luiza (8/5): A lovely hotel and a great stay! - Everything, honestly! The room was bigger than I expected, it had a fridge and an OK closet, it was clean and the bed was very nice - I had a great sleep. The people at the reception were lovely, breakfast was quite good and I really enjoyed the two bottles of water waiting for me in the room :) -
- Phillips (7/5): Close to station - We arrived early and was advised that we could put our bags in our room which was ready. This was super helpful to us.
Lady at reception was very welcoming. Nothing to not like
- Jackson (8/5): -
- Claudia (8/5): - Gute Anbindung an Bus und Bahn. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten nur ca. 5 Minuten entfernt. Ruhige Lage. Frühstücksbuffet in Ordnung. Zimmer ordentlich und sauber. Bett bequem. Fenster war etwas zugig.
- Paolo (7/5): - The room was spacious (for London standard), quiet, and the bed was comfortable. The room was not crystal clean and the shower was a bit old
- severine (8/5): -
- Giovanna (10/5): - Pulizia, cortesia staff, colazione Stanza nel seminterrato
- Valentina (8/5): -
- Oscar (8/5): - La amabilidad del personal, especialmente la chica de recepción Habitación algo pequeña y la calefacción no funcionaba.
- Renan (5/5): -
- SIMON (9/5): Perfect for a London short trip - Location was great, but trains are limited to Olympia on weekdays, breakfast was great, rooms were compact and perfect, beautiful bathroom. We just struggled getting there due to restricted trains to Olympia
- Andrius (10/5): Nice small hotel - Great location. Nice small hotel. Good service
- Michel (8/5): - Note that the Kensington Olympia station not really having a dedicated subway line. But then again the bus line 9 and 27, at the end of the street, takes you into the centre of London in just 15-20 minutes. Or going the opposite side to Hammersmith station, with all kinds of subway connections (district/circle lines)
- Rene (9/5): Enjoyable - Nice hotel, clean, good shower, proper breakfast. I missed during booking to select the right age for my daughter causing them not to know that a third person would join the room. The staff was very friendly to resolve this by adding a pop up bed. It is 15 min walk from the west Kensington metro which gives best access to the metro network, but not a big deal
- mike robinson (7/5): A nice stay - Nice room
Comfortable bed
Early check in
Modern
Clean Breakfast was quite poor
1950's style lighting buttons which didn't work well
