  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I always stay here when I'm in London it has everything I need. It's clean, great connection to the city centre or elsewhere honestly and everything is organised and the staff is very helpful. The bathroom is a little small but it's okay

    Love the location, rooms are clean and modern, beautiful garden outside. Quiet street Staff can smile more. Alittle expensive but it is London. Location has separate building for reception which can get annoying.

    Good location Clean and comfy

    Compared to other 2 star hotels I've stayed at, Kensington Gardens Hotel really was fantastic. Daily hauskeeping was not excpected, therefore very appreciated. We were also brought an ironing board and an iron upon request which we very happy about. The bathroom was clearly recently modernised and looked great and clean! Staff was also always friendly. Very nice neighbourhood and quite well connected to important public transport lines. Room was very warm upon arrival - there is unfortunately no way to cool it down properly as there is no air conditioning and the windows cannot be opened very far (though that is often the same at other hotels in London). Leaving the windows open overnight helped a lot. The hotel also put a small ventilator on the room which also helped.

    It was extremely hot and unbearable to stay in, I ended up booking and paying for another hotel to leave.

    Great area and being so close to Kensington Gardens. Excellent breakfast next door. Had a heat wave so struggled to sleep as no air conditioning.

    Clean & friendly

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Great location & beautifully presented property. Our room had full sun in afternoon, so unbearably hot even with curtains closed & using fan. Only able to open window a few inches, which was understandable for safety reasons.

    Superb

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Location excellent. Close to tube and plenty of restaurants bars shops nearby Room on small side. Bed not very comfortable

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Location for this property was excellent. There was no air conditioning in the room and it was a very hot day. The windows opened the smallest crack so there wasn’t any ventilation. The shower was probably the worst I’ve ever had in a hotel, the water sprayed out everywhere and would stay attached to the wall fixture so had to hold it.

    Good

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Location. Great quiet neighborhood near restaurants and the Tube. The windows would only open a few inches and would not allow airflow on hot days. It was significantly cooler outside when it did not need to be that way.
