Kensington Gardens Hotel

The hotel is in a brilliant location! There are several metro and bus stations only a few minutes away by foot, and it is very easy to come to any part of the city with famous attractions, museums, markets, theaters. Around the hotel there are many grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, pubs. And Notting Hill, Kensington park and Hyde park are walking distance away, as well as many museums. The location is absolutely brilliant, and the neighborhood is very safe. The hotel itself is also great - beautiful, clean, well maintained. My room was small and cute, and had everything I needed. The bed was comfortable, and for me that is very important because I've had spinal surgery a few years ago and my back is very sensitive, so a bad bed can ruin me in one night. The bathroom was modern and clean and there were shampoos and body washes and soap from the hotel, so I didn't have to buy anything. The shower pressure was great - I have long and thic hair, so this is also very important for me. And there was a hair dryer in the room that had two settings - min and max. I used the max one, and I could dry my hair within a few minutes. I usually bring my own hair dryer because the ones in the hotels are too week for me, and it would take me ages to dry my hair with them. I brought it this time too, but I didn't even take it out of my suitcase, because the one from the hotel was great. The towels were clean and were changed daily. The bedsheets were also changed a few times during my stay. There was an electric kettle in the room, along with coffee, tea, hot chocolate and sugar. So I would have my morning coffee in my room every day. The heating was very good. I used just the one in the bathroom - I would turn it on for a little while and then turn it off and my room was nice and warm the whole day and night.

Location, comfort, cleanliness

I personally appreciated the simplicity of the room, which added to its charm. The single bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the bathroom, which had clearly been refurbished, featured brand-new amenities and was impeccably clean. The heated floors were an excellent touch that greatly enhanced the overall comfort of my stay. I also want to highlight the 24-hour reception, which made me feel safe throughout my visit in case I needed anything (for example, I had an early check out). The ladies in the breakfast room were incredibly kind, and the breakfast itself was both delicious and complete—especially impressive given its reasonable price.

Very clean rooms. Excellent continental breakfast can be booked at a reasonable £‎7.5 per day/person at the next door sister hotel (Phoenix Hotel London). Excellent location with Bayswater (District and Circle line) and Queensway (Central line) stations in close proximity. Hyde Park Kensington Gardens is also very close by.

Quiet location, friendly staff, very clean, although rooms are small there is everything you could possibly want for a short stay away. Rooms are very warm and comfortable, however not designed for disabled people. Extremely pleased with our stay. Breakfast value for money which is continental style there is plenty of choice I think you could pay extra if you wanted a cooked breakfast. Only downside which isn’t a great problem you have to go next door to sister hotel phoenix for your meals
