Excellent location just off Kensington High St for getting to all parts of London. Standard rooms are quite small but perfectly adequate for short stays or when out all day. Foyer too small for the large number of foreign tourists who gather there waiting for their coaches. Good breakfasts but go early to avoid the crowds. << click here to read less |

Room was small but for a short stay was adequate, with pleasing decor and furnishings and full bath/shower facilities. We were in room 472 which was overlooking some outbuildings at the back, it didn't appear noisy as it was away from the street but during the night 3 or 4 times there was a noise like someone pushing a very noisy squeaky trolley up and down the corridor or as though something was rushing down some pipes in the room, quite disturbing when it happened and would request different room away from that area next time. Breakfast was buffet style and enough choice and replenished so hot. Staff were pleasant in the restaurant and obliging with refills of tea/coffee etc. Overall nothing to stop us staying again except room location. Value for money. << click here to read less |

I stayed there the 3rd time, but never had such a small room, tiny little bath that smelled badly! The room was backwards, directly above the Hotel air condition, so rumour all the time. The air condition in the room was not to switch off.
To many busses full of tourists stayed there, for breakfast there was not enough space in the main room, we had to go to an ugly next door room.
Internet at the public computer did not work, thanks to a very friendly consierge that helped us to check in online to our flight with his computer.
The Hotel has lost quality, the only good thing is the location. << click here to read less |

We had a lovely stay at the Kensington close hotel. Ckeck-in was handled quickly and efficiently and we were pleased with the room. On first imspection it seemed very small but it was well proportioned and, most importantly, had a first class en-suite,
Whilst staying for two nights, we ate at the hotel as it was too bleak to venture too far fromt he front door. The 'Lion's' grill was the ideal place for snack food whereas the 'Blue Steakhouse' was simply perfect for a sophisticated evening meal, quite reasonably priced too. Service and presentation were first class. All in all, this is a hotel which we would gladly return to and would recommend to anyone visiting London. As far as location goes, it is within easy walking distance to the High Street Kensington station << click here to read less |

Rooms were relatively small, but given the price it was OK for central Londen. It could have been more clean though. In addition there was also quite some noise from other people in other rooms and on the corridor. No problem if you are a good sleeper, but definately not silent. All in all it was OK for an average. No problem going there again, but not an ultimate top place to stay. << click here to read less |

This hotel is great value and in an unbeatable location. The rooms are stylish and cheerfully decorated and are great value considering the location. However, I have just two small gripes:
1 The check-in and front desk service could be slicker.
2 Every time I stay here, which is at least once a month, I have a problem with my room key card not working. Being locked out of your room on a regular basis is extremely irritating.

The Kensington Close Hotel was in a safe and nice area very close to Kensington Gardens ; Palace. The room was small, but it was clean and the bathroom was a very nice size compared to others. However, I would not stay at this hotel again. The people at the front desk were very rude and didn't even put my mother through one time and she was calling internationally! I wasn't able to check in early as requested so I checked my bags with them but they must have been rough with them because my toiletries had spilled out (that I had carried on the plane to prevent this) and a zipper pull was missing on my suitcase that had been there before. I think the room was overpriced, but I'm so glad I booked with "FindLondonRooms.com" because I saved a ton compared to all the other sites and I would recommend them. << click here to read less |

First time ever being in a hotel that locks you into a restaurant at 10.00 when the breakfast is over so no one can come in!! and removes the food at 10.00 on the dot from the buffet.

I chose Kensington Close Hotel quite specifically as my mother Mrs Ruby Penfold worked as a waitress there some 50 years ago and I can remember, as a child, spending time with the gate man in the underground car park(against the hotel rules I think) waiting for my mother to finish her shift; and one time they very proudly showed me the swimming pool being built. I promised myself that I would one day stay here. My mother's claim to fame was that she served Christine Keeler, Mandy Rice Davies and Yehudi Menuhin their breakfasts.
She was very proud of working there and when she left after about 25years they gave her 2 silver candlesticks in a lovely ceremony.
I thoroughly enjoyed my nostalic stay in this very nice hotel. Thank you. Pauline Sansom << click here to read less |

totally disorganised and incompetent staff (except concierge who were exceptionally good) waitign staff unable to speak English (also unable to smile) check in was farcical, took over an hour as no clean rooms available then confused my booking with someone elses - if you are just after a clean, well located hotel i couldnt recommend better but if you want a special weekend away with someone (like I did) you will be badly disappointed. << click here to read less |

Sink blocked on arrival, we reported it when we went out for evening, upon return still blocked. As we were going to breakfast the following morning, we met a man with a sink plunger. When we returned from breakfast to collect things to check out, it had been fixed, a little late for convenient use though. Also, the socket for the kettle didn't work, so the kettle had to be taken across the room to another plug and the kettle placed on a shelf next to the tv which meant either the teapot had to be taken across the room to the kettle or the boiling kettle taken across the room to the stable unit where the teapot etc stood. These two faults would have been reported as faulty by others but no action had been taken?
Apart from that, for one night the hotel was comfortable and quiet. << click here to read less |

Our first room had a water leak in the bathroom and was extremely tiny (meant to be a double, was barely a single). And on our first night we used the hotel provided hair-dryer and a circuit blew. So we changed rooms at 8pm on a Friday night and were mistakenly assigned a single. So moved rooms again to another small but slightly bigger room, only to find no hair dryer at all. Were disappointed that there was an additional charge for the gym, didn't end up using it at all. << click here to read less |

Great location!!! Breakfast was not the best experience, probably the worst I've had in a three star hotel(continental) Rooms small, but clean and nice as long as you get a room not facing the hotels ventilation system wich are very noisy. Staff helpful and gave us a nice room away from the noise. Had an enjoyable time and will probably use the hotel again because of the location. << click here to read less |

10/9/05. After two requests for personnel to look at the air conditioning in the afternoon ; early evening I was forced to attend the reception desk at midnight. The room was stifiling. Your staff was poilte ; appoligetic but we still had a less than acceptable room.
17/9/05. The room we were initially given did not have sufficient space to place our 2 bags, a further visit to reception eventually had us moved to a triple room.
Our first stay in London was at the Novatel Hammersmith to access the Globus Tour, in comparison the Kensington Close runs a far second in room/cost comparison << click here to read less |

The hotel was in a very good location within kensington. Staff were very helpful. Room was small but ok and clean although the carpet was thread bare. We had to ask to be moved from our room due to a very noisey air con unit right outside but was moved within 5mins of call to a nicer quieter room. << click here to read less |

Generally good value for a London hotel. The continental breakfast was poor, only cornflakes/rice krispies for cereal when a healthier wholegrain option would have been appreciated and the self service system was chaotic as staff seemed to be constantly running around filling things up, with muffins and criossants in short supply. The swimming pool was well advertised but it wasn't made clear that there was an charge of ?5 to use it!!! << click here to read less |

Unfortunately this hotel characteterises some of the worst aspects of London hotels.... shoddy refurbishment, poor plumbing and indifferent service. The quality of the recent improvement works seems to be very poor. The 'Italian connection' continental breakfast was one of the worst I've had in London. << click here to read less |

The hotel has a wonderful location, and is well situated for shops and transport.
The reception staff are unhelpful - we wished to upgrade our room and they were unable to help us - not due to the fact that there were no rooms, but because they didn't know how. We were wiling to pay for the upgrade. We had a similar problem trying to upgrade our breakfast from the continental to the full English. Both proved to be inedible. However, the evening buffet was delicious, and affordable. We would stay again, but we would require more information on the room when we make the booking. The room we believed we had reserved bore no resemblance to the one that we were give. << click here to read less |

I like this hotel. Ive stayed here many times over 10 years and if the price offered is right, will always book here. Its a big Corporate hotel but has good facilities, very clean and good bars/restaurants. Very popular with big tourist groups. Only problem, High Street Ken tube station not the best tube line to be on if you are travelling into West End frequently, but its convenient for travellers coming to London via Victoria and Paddington. Highly rated. << click here to read less |

We found it incredibly difficult to try and upgrade our room, even though we were very happy to pay to do so. The reception desk kept on telling us to go through our booking agent as they couldn't do it in house! The room we were first shown was not renovated and had a broken toilet seat. Staff were unhelpful at the reception desk and not really interested in helping us. We had come a long way, and expected better understanding after an exhausting trip. The full english breakfast (which we upgraded to) was inedible. Cold, unappetising, and no variation from one day to the next. It had been pre-cooked and then kept warm in inadequate dishes. The restaurant staff did not speak English, so requests for things like Earl Grey Tea, with low fat milk, were met with complete blank stares. Not what one expects in an English hotel. If it was not for the location of the hotel, which is brilliant, it would have no redeeming factors. I will think twice before staying there again. << click here to read less |

Friendly hotel with excellent facilities and helpful staff. Our room wasn't ready upon check-in so we were given a twin room to use until it was ready and then upgraded to a superior double. Breakfast in bed for no extra cost! Excellent location, especially for the price. Use of spa facilities for only ?5 per person for the whole of the stay was another added bonus. Highly recommended. << click here to read less |
