I recently stayed at Bob W Kensington, and the property has the makings of a truly elegant boutique hotel. Its location in central London is excellent, with easy access to wonderful restaurants, shopping, and transportation routes, making it a very convenient base for exploring the city. That said, the property still seems to be in a transitional phase. Perhaps because it is a newly acquired location that has not yet been fully assimilated into the brand, several amenities and services advertised in the booking were not currently available during my stay. Additionally, while the staff were friendly and polite, they were quite scarce and often difficult to find when assistance was needed. With a bit more operational polish and the full rollout of its advertised offerings, the property has the potential to become a lovely boutique destination in Kensington.

We stayed here during a particularly hot period in London and wanted to upgrade to a room with air conditioning. Unfortunately, communication was slow, with online responses taking around an hour, and different staff members quoted different upgrade fees, which was confusing. After upgrading, we encountered an issue with the room lock, leaving the room unsecured. Thankfully, nothing was lost, but it was concerning. We then had to pack and move our luggage again to a third room, which was inconvenient and disruptive to our stay. While the staff eventually agreed to provide a small fraction of refund as compensation, we are still waiting for it to be processed. Overall, the stay was disappointing due to slow and inconsistent communication, small rooms, and the need to change rooms due to maintenance issues.

Very outdated especially the bathroom, the photos are very misleading. There were no gym in the facility. Rooms are badly soundproofed. Awful smell in the room and in the floors.

I would give this property zero star. There is no receptionist or staff that can assist with anything. The room is different from the photo. No body wash available. The worse is there is 1 night that someone is knocking on our door telling that he is the security and he is hearing noises in our room. We did not open as it is very creepy since there were no noise as we were sleeping. Then he came back, knocking on the door next to us and saying he's been seeing smoke in the window. The girl opened the door but we gave notice that we are calling the police. Then next thing I heard he was gone. And we are calling the number of the property on WhatsApp since that was the instruction on the email, but it gave prompt that this has no WhatsApp. Texted but no reply. We really had a bad experience with this hotel. If we opened the door, we could have been dead. This property has no security. Nothing. Don't fall for this.

Stay away!!! I think it’s being used as a brothel, no sound isolation at all. Had a horrible stay. Did not get to change rooms even when I described how the neighbor was extremely noisy while being intimate, throughout the day. They suggested I’d get earplugs. Did not have functional internet, they said they couldn’t help with that, had to use my phone as hotspot to get the TV to work at all. They were not very nice to talk with either. It ruined my trip by far, never experienced such bad customer service before. They said it was not permitted to use the rooms for such services, yet they just let it be and didn’t care at all that I had to listen to that all the stay through. I’m amazed how bad this stay turned out. Happy it’s all over, will never ever come back to any bob w! Bed was good though.

Extremely disappointed with this place, pictures of the room don’t really reflect how it actually is. Advertised as having air conditioning in the room and there was none, only 6/8 rooms have them. The main bedroom was nice and the bed was comfy, no mirror. My son was on the sofa bed in the lounge, the cover on the mattress when pulled the bed out was stained, the quilt and pillows had no covers on them! The tea coffee facilities were poor, there was a nespresso machine which was lovely, that didn’t work, and even if it did there was 1 oat milk sachet, the staff had obviously not checked the tray, only alternative teas no basic breakfast, and there was no one there to ask as it’s not manned. I decided to go to the reception area to get a hot drink but sadly no clean cups so I washed 2 but no milk again! The best bit about this mini break was the breakfast, even though it was a 10 minute walk from the hotel, Filo was delicious. This was so frustrating for me as it was my children who were treating me, it was my Christmas present from them to go and see the show Paddington, which was amazing.
