I was surprised at how austere and small my single room was. Had to ask for fresh towel and bath mat even though housekeeping had paid a visit. Location is super, and staff was helpful and friendly. Good choice if you just want a convenient base of operations at lowest cost.

I had an overall pleasant stay during a 2-day trip to London. The room was clean, comfortable and had AC. The breakfast was delicious! Two small notes for potential improvement: (1) the doors slam very loud which can be heard inside the room, and (2) I was only given a bath towel and no hand/face towel. I would have requested more towels if I had stayed longer.

Location was easy to find. Sasha was extremely helpful. The room was clean and the bed was wonderful. Food at the restaurant downstairs was very good (pre paid for breakfast). Coffee flat white was delicious. Shower was a little tight, but I am 74" tall.

I spent 2 nights here with my daughter. The hotel was in a lovely spot with a great pub just up the road. Our room was clean, had a street view, fan and air con. There was coffee making facilities and tv which we didn't use. Toilet was a good size with shower. Staff were great and looked after our baggage before and after checkin/out.

I had a great stay at the Kensington House Hotel during my solo trip to London. I stayed for a week and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The location is fantastic, close to everything I needed, yet still felt calm and safe, which was really important to me traveling alone! The hotel itself was comfortable, clean, and welcoming. I always felt at ease coming back after a long day of exploring, and the staff made check in and check out super easy. Overall, it was the perfect place for a solo traveler, convenient, safe, and cozy. I would definitely stay here again!

Location was wonderful, Hotel was very low key, nothing fancy, super near to transportation and Kensington Gardens. However, under construction so no air conditioning, windows could open some and area was quiet. Breakfast cafe was lovely in the morning.

Good size room, nice and bright. Breakfast very good and freshly cooked to order with decent portions. Maintenance and smashing needs attention - neither of bedside lights work, no phone in room to notify staff at night, one light has wrong type of plug for socket, no uk socket by bedside for phone chargers, tv connection not good enough to use the streaming services on offer.
