“Excellent”

A three night stay and The Royal Garden Hotel was excellent. Very helpful staff and a comfortable room. I originally booked a Queen room and it was tiny so paid for the upgrade to a Garden Room which was worth it. Only negative is the internet charge at £20 for 24hrs. This is absurd and no hotel should charge for internet access - it should be included with the room. But I would probably return if available at a competitive price.

“Great Value for London”

I have stayed here 3 times. I love the cleanliness, the quiet and the staff. The rooms can be small, I was there for 5 nights this time and had to unpack carefully and store my bags to have enough room. Like all up market hotels they charge stupid prices for Internet access and high prices for breakfast but there are easy solutions to these. Good area if you shop and not far from the subway system and the park.

Area recommendations
Kensington is both part of London and still a "village" with chain shops as well as boutiques and small restaurants. I am a big fan of west London and this is up there with Hampstead, Knightsbridge and St. Johns Wood.

“Wonderful Stay”

Beautiful, well situated hotel with extremely accommodating staff. Would definitely stay again!

Area recommendations
This hotel in Kensington is right next to Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. It is within walking distance to many attractions and close to the "Tube" as well as the bus lines. There are many restaurants and shopping areas in the area.

“Greatest place to live at if exploring London City”

This is a nice 5 star hotel. Recently refurbished. Rooms are larger than normal European hotel rooms. Bathroom was like Ceasar's palace suite. Service and cleaning staff was great. We had a 4 year old who used the sofabed to sleep and the hotel staff would come to convert it every day and night. Only issue I had was that wireless internet was not free and telephone calls were very expensive to make from the room. The hotel has 2 excelling restaurants. The 10-floor Chinese restaurant is good but over-priced. The ground floor Park Place is one of the best restaurants in London. Great food and excellent service. Rooms are cool and more control over temperature would be nice. Overall, if you are there to explore London and then have a goodnight's rest - this is it!

Area recommendations
The hotel is opposite Kensington Palace and 5 mins walk to everything in London (using the tube or bus).
Getting around
Get the LondonPass with Travel Card. That way you end up paying ONLY for your food the entire trip!

“Not a 5-star”

While the hotel itself is pretty good, the prices they charge is on the order of robbery. Every tiny thing is associated with some insane charge -- there is no free Internet for the guests staying in the hotel (other hotels we stayed at during our trip all gave us free Internet access). Even using the business center briefly requires extra payment. Local calls from the hotel is not free either. While the hot chocolate and tea/instant coffee are free, the housekeeper does not replenish the supply during daily cleaning. Everything else -- even for a tiny jar of M&M's -- all cost an arm and a leg (unjustifiably so). Definitely need to be careful in this hotel and read the fine print to avoid these hidden charges.

“impressed”

Only negative was the strong smell of smoke coming from adjoining rooms into my nonsmoking room. Otherwise can't say enough how much I enjoyed staing there
