Great place to stay

Really lovely staff, who were all friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, and beds very comfortable. We appreciated the air con in the room on a warm weekend! Great location too, and a short walk away from the underground. We enjoyed our stay at K Hotel Kensington, and would return.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were perfectly fine and gave us a good resting place. The property is very well located, a short walk from an underground station on the circle and district lines. We could also easily walk to Hyde Park, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Royal Albert Music Hall. This was what we really valued about this hotel. The staff were lovely and very helpful. We did not breakfast in the hotel, so I can’t speak to that experience. All in all, this was a perfect hotel for the location and comfort we needed.

Lovely hotel to stay in. So easy to get around with the tube station about five minute walk. Within easy walking distance to natural history museum and Hyde park not too far away either. Would definitely stay here again.

Hotel was very easy to locate and within walking distance of tube stations. Room was very small and clean. Breakfast was average but the staff were very friendly and managed well considering there were demanding guests...so well done!

Joy

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Good location + proximity to tube station. However, staff is condescending and rude. Many rooms are also equipped with "open showers" with no shower doors so water floods the bathroom while showering. Would not stay again, but the attitude of the staff demonstrates they are used to one-time travelers only.

Hotel OK, but nothing special. Bear in mind that it is located on a main thoroughfare therefore not the best location if you require a good night's sleep whilst there.
