"The location was fantastic - it was on a very quiet side street only a couple minutes walk from restaurants, the tube and a supermarket. The staff were friendly, and always willing and able to help. The room was basic, but had working air conditioning and a very convenient kitchen area, with an oven, microwave, and refrigerator, which all came in handy. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but everything else was great."

Top Kensington Central Library Hotel Reviews

Princes Gardens

8/10 Good

"There is a fair bit of noise from folks gathering at the pavillions in the south-east corner of the green during the evenings (and nights). It would be good to signpost : Vacate premises after 11 pm (or such)."

Safestay London Kensington Holland Park

8/10 Good

"I returned to the hostel after a long break. I used to love it a lot ... but then saw many bad reviews. However, reviews have generally improved over past month or so. I was quite happy with my stay. Clean room & staff were friendly, ESPECIALLY a young Italian lady who was so helpful, when she was in during day hours. Only problem is that, I, like many previous guestswho were very unhappy, also found that, on arrival I was moved to a different room from my booking - which is apparently !! under maintenance. I especially was not happy with the change to a room with no en-suite bathroom (from what I had booked!). This was changed on my request! (I understand that some previous reviewers were NOT allowed to question their new room! Further, charging an extra £2 per night for a bottom bed is definitely a first-time ever experience... after staying 40+ hostels in over 10 countries. It does not make sense at all ... !!"

Brit Hotels Earls Court

10/10 Excellent

"This location was so convenient for our stay. When you stay here you are just a short walk away from the subway, restaurants, and a mini market. My only complaint (which I already knew based off the pictures online) is that the bathrooms are small. I knew this when I booked the reservation but I will still stay here again on my next visit."

Bob W London Hyde Park

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a great location it has a couple of underground lines near by which made it super convenient. All the staff was super friendly and useful. Room was a little small but I think most hotel rooms in London are but this one had really high ceilings which made the room feel bigger. Overall great experience at the hotel, would definitely stay there again on my next visit and recommend to a friend. Also has really good AC which was great!"

Royal Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Every staff member went above and beyond to help and support. Special shout out to Sadiqu for kindness he showed when I shared i was staying there because it was part of my 60th Birthday gift. The location of the hotel is great for a plethora of places to visit, sightseeing and places to eat and shop. We had a meal at Min Jiang restaurant on the 10th floor, so the views were lovely. I had the duck that everyone in the hotel recommend. 1/2 a duck cost £56 but it was worth every penny. Thank you to May for being so patient, kind and friendly towards us. She also gave me a special birthday dessert. The only negative was the extremely steep drive down to the car park which is down a narrow steep continual spiral slope, but at least we had secure parking. Apart from this, there are no complaints. We had a standard room, which was very small because the bed was so big but we had an upgrade to a room that was brilliant. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you all for a fantastic start to my 60th Birthday countdown."
