The hotel is located so close to High Street Kensington and underground. Starbucks in the lobby, it is so convenient. The room is clean and quiet. All the staffs are professional, polite, and friendly. I recommend it without hesitation. I had a wonderful stay! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely diabolical. Having checked my reservation with the Hotel and received a reply I travelled over 75 miles to arrive at The Hotel. I was politely greeted at the door. only to find the Reservations Manager refused to accept my Reservation he said " it is Tier 4, and not a holiday" I duly informed him I was not there for a Holiday and explained as to why I had the reservation, he was still insulting and objectionable so I politely left. May I suggest that you remove Holiday Inn Kensington High Street London , from Expedia. I would not recommend anyone to stay there especially not if necessary. A most unpleasant experience.
