Top Kensington Palace Hotel Reviews

Bob W London Hyde Park

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent customer service."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"Vvv"

Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Chosen for the location walkable to Royal Albert Hall so was excellent. Tube only yards away in Kensington High Street. Hotel lobby and bar spacious with tasteful decor and staff friendly and helpful. Huge breakfast room with just about every choice on offer. Staff very welcoming and attentive. The room was small and a little dated, but spotlessly clean. Really comfy beds with great pillows! The Parsley Stem hand and body wash was a bit of an odd choice! The sockets and light switches were behind the pillows due to lack of space and were difficult to access. Only 1 coffee sachet, 2 decaffs,and 1 teabag on the tea tray seemed a bit inadequate. The room was supposed to be a premium room (all that was available) but compared with the standard room we stayed in the previous night, it was smaller, with an inferior bathroom. The wardrobe wasn't much use for hanging clothes as space was taken up by the mini fridge inside, which incidentally was quite warm. The TV wouldn't connect, saying could not access this service. The tiny sofa took up space and seemed pointless to sit on due to it facing the wardrobe! Couldn't see how it could be used as a sofa bed due to lack of space. There were no surfaces to lay out toiletries. The wash basin was tiny and cramped in the corner. Understand the huge cost of doing a major revamp so would still return for the excellent location, amazing breakfast and friendly service 😀"

"Really enjoyed our stay, the man on reception was so friendly and helpful (we got chocolate on checkout!) Location is great, rooms clean and great price, couldn’t want any more when visiting London! Would definitely stay again."

Thistle London Hyde Park Kensington Gardens

8/10 Good

"Overall we had a mixed stay. There a lot of good things ie the staff, food and location. On a slightly negative side the bedding could be improved and something that can’t be changed .. the proximity to the road bcos on a few occasions the sirens from police cars woke me up. Also I paid for a family room with a double bed and a single. However we recieved a room with two single beds in it and we recieved no explanation or refund."
