“The Resident Kensington excels for its location in the Royal Borough near the Earl's Court station, an ideal base for exploring London's cultural hubs, including the Royal Albert Hall. I appreciate the generous room sizes coupled with the thoughtful addition of mini-kitchen facilities, which sets it apart, especially for longer stays or family trips. However, some rooms facing the building's utilities might experience some noise.”

I found my "Superior King or Twin Room" to be a bit of a squeeze. Seriously, after I put my suitcase down, navigating the room seemed like an obstacle course. The lighting was not great. It felt dim even with all the lights on. the promised complimentary toiletries were pretty basic.

the staff was amazing from arrival to departure. the decor was lovely and the hotel was very clean throughout. i found great quality toiletries provided in the room. i will definitely consider this hotel again for future stays.
i noticed some small double rooms felt tiny. the strange shape and layout made it difficult to place our bags. the room should perhaps be advertised as a single room and available at a lower rate.

the staff was friendly. i had a superior king or twin room, and it was a good size. i really liked having the kettle, microwave. some plates and cutlery (it made snacking easy!). the location is close to many culturally significant places.
I wish there had been a little more space for my suitcase in the room. It was a bit tight when i arrived.

I enjoyed the proximity to the earl's court tube station. It made getting around very easy. the staff was consistently helpful, always offering suggestions and assistance when i needed it. i found the room comfortable, especially the bed, and appreciated the air conditioning (it was useful). the lift was also very convenient, with easy access to all floors.
my double room felt quite small, limiting space for luggage and movement. i think that specific room would have worked better as a single occupancy option. also, the lack of on-site breakfast options was inconvenient.
