I was in a single room on 2nd floor and it was quiet, room clean and tidy with a comfy bed and nice bed linen. Shower was great. There was a safe in the wardrobe. Easy to walk to from underground stations. Also a 15 min walk to Natural History Museum, V&A, Royal Albert Hall. Mainly though the staff at reception were lovely and helpful. I had an issue with a gig ticket and they sorted it for me. I would have missed the event if it hadn't been for them. Would definitely recommend this place and will stay again. ##### Sam Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 26 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Near underground station, Spacious room ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pam 23 Jun 2024 This was a gem of a hotel in a very desireable area of London.

This was my second stay and all the staff were hospitable and made my stay very pleasant. I was disappointed that the temperature in the room was not adjustable and it was a little cold. However, the service is really top notch and well worth the stay. ##### YOSHIRO Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Julian 12 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities My only complaint would be that the single beds were very uncomfortable ##### Julian Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Zen 12 May 2024 Building is old and makes noises while walking in the room.

As a 50+ female, I felt very safe in the neighborhood and in the hotel. I was able to drop off my bag at 11:30 am and not return until 10:30 pm with no issues. The twin bed was comfortable and the hotel was quiet. Although they are older, I really appreciated the lift and the in-room air conditioning. ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### David 16 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The room was the smallest double room we have ever stayed in, the bathroom door could not be fully opened because the bed was in the way, there was only one bedside cabinet and the room was barely adequate for two people. The bed was clean and comfortable and the breakfast adequate but even for Kensington the value for money was 3:10. will not be staying there again. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### EMMA SYLVIA 5 Jan 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Terrible place to stay.

Did the trick for one night ##### STEPHEN Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Caroline 16 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Friendly hotel in a great location The room itself was nothing special. The decor was a bit tired and unremarkable. Probably the smallest double room I've rented in London. BUT the location is fantastic, and all of the staff are just so genuinely helpful and friendly that it's really no issue that the rooms lack the wow factor. They're clean and comfortable, and who spends too long in their room in London anyway?! However, very few of the many hotels I've stayed at over the years have made me feel so welcome as here. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Caroline Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan 5 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The Villa Kensington was a great find. The location is very good. It was easy with public transportation to get anywhere. If you are a walker there are many places you can walk to as well. There are many food options close by as well. From sit down, grab and go, or groceries. The front desk staff was very good. Everyone I encountered was very nice and friendly, always willing to chat and offer advice. I had a little problem when the rail workers went on strike and I had to get back to Gatwick. The staff was helpful getting me an arranged taxi and carried my luggage out for me at 3:30 a.m. The area was safe and hotel felt secure. There is a lot of foot traffic with the proximity to the tube station. My only criticism would be on the bathroom condition. The shower grout needed something, either cleaning or repair. Overall this hotel is a great value overall. I will definitely be back again. ##### Susan Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Emily 29 Aug 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### No way Omg....where do I start??? The only reason this place gets a 2 is because the staff is super friendly (except the girl at breakfast this morning). This hotel is in desperate need of a complete overhaul! The walls had cracks and patches, the tile in the bathroom.was cracked, the floor not level and THE LIFT IS BROKEN (under repair). The hotel decides to put this old lady up on the top floor so hiking up 4-5 flights was miserable! They offered a complimentary breakfast for the inconvenience but was not worth the hike up and down 5 flights. The room was tiny, which is okay bye, but the bed was definitely not a "twin" - it was like a toddler bed! The Internet didn't work half the time and, again, the saving grace was the employees! Spend the extra $$$ and stay elsewhere ##### Emily Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 28 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities yes! ##### Richard Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Radisson RED Hotel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-London-Heathrow.h46218383.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Wembley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Wembley.h4921092.Hotel-Information) > > [ARK Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Collective-Canary-Wharf.h36660267.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Richmond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Richmond-Harbour-Hotel-Spa.h10269.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Angel Islington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Angel-Islington.h436270.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London - Docklands Riverside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Docklands-Riverside.h2456.Hotel-Information) > > [The International Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-International-Hotel.h1949.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel London Canary Wharf Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Novotel-London-Canary-Wharf-Hotel.h16181347.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express London - Greenwich by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-London-Greenwich.h519817.Hotel-Information) > > [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information) > > [London Marriott Hotel Regents Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-London-Marriott-Hotel-Regents-Park.h4481.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Park Royal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Park-Royal.h15118023.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express London Heathrow T4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-London-Heathrow-T4.h22336089.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Conference-Centre-London.h48444523.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [The Chelsea Harbour Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Chelsea-Harbour-Hotel.h16413.Hotel-Information) > > [Tribe London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Tribe-London-Canary-Wharf.h83096424.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stratford, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Stratford-Hotel-London.h31325464.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Kensington.h26612.Hotel-Information) > > [Thistle London Heathrow Terminal 5](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Thistle-London-Heathrow-T5.h882761.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, London Canary Wharf East](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-New-Providence-Wharf-Hotel.h1658062.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Mercure-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h17586.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gantry London, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Curio-Collection-By-Hilton-London.h48879811.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-London-Heathrow-Airport.h570358.Hotel-Information) > > [Aloft London Excel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aloft-London-Excel.h4292527.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental London - The O2 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-InterContinental-London-The-O2.h11518997.Hotel-Information) > > [MOXY London Stratford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-MOXY-London-Stratford.h19544649.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Canary-Wharf.h1457899.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Renaissance-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h9944.Hotel-Information)
