“I've noticed that this Kensington hotel aims for a boutique feel near Earls Court Tube Station and Museum Mile, but the execution seems inconsistent. While perks like complimentary breakfast and thoughtful touches are appreciated, reports of outdated rooms and maintenance issues give me pause; sustainable practices and proactive guest communication sound good in theory, but they need to translate to consistent quality.”

Excellent Hotel Stay

warm welcomecomplimentary upgradecomfortable bed
I stayed in this hotel from February 28th to February 29th in 2024. I received a warm welcome and a complimentary upgrade at check-in. My room had immaculate and fantastic decor. The large king size bed was comfortable and I was close to Earls Court Underground Station, bars, and restaurants.
The room was nice but in need of some minor repairs.

adequate stay but some issues

small room sizeslow elevator
the room size was smaller than expected. i found it difficult to store my luggage. also, the breakfast options were limited. i expected a wider variety of choices for a hotel of this standard. the elevator was quite slow, which caused some delays.

The room was super clean. The bathroom also was clean. Staff members were helpful and friendly. The location was excellent for my trip. I was very pleased with the room. There was a close up mirror in the bathroom.
The soundproofing is poor. You can hear hallway conversations. Traffic noise was noticeable. Drinking water was unavailable past 10pm due to the restaurant being closed. I was directed to the nearest shop instead.

The room was a good size. The staff was very polite and helpful. The hotel is a few minutes walk from an underground station. Many local eateries are close by.
The room needs more lights because it is very dark there. I noticed congealed breakfast on the first morning. The pastries were missing one morning at breakfast.
