Handy place to base yourself in London

Extremely handy to transport options in Earls Court, the rooms are well appointed with lots of storage options. There is a virtual front desk, but any requests are responded to in a timely manner.

The cost of staying at Kensington Stay was good for London. It was unusual not to have staff around to hand you your room key but the way system is…it works. Def consider staying again if I need to have a bed for the night.

Need to have a guide to some of the things about the room e.g. the air conditioner turns off if window open, light in bathroom turns off when the door closes. I arrived very early and had trouble finding somewhere to leave luggage. Having said that, the room was good and I would recommend it for the budget traveller. Very close to the Underground.

Kitchen was poorly equipped. Only provided with 1 saucepan to cook with. No cutting knives or any other kitchen utensils provided, besides dining cutlery. We were staying for quite some time and had plans to cook some food, but the limited supplies made it hard to. Also there’s some mold around the side of the kitchen sink too.

Perfect for a couple of nights as quiet and fridge makes it easy to self cater. Website and owners need to update/ clearly mark address and provide directions from tube. We had 28-30 as door number but actual number was 1, so we walked right past as lots of people where in the way hiding tiny sign with building name. Also make it clear to use tube exit for Warwick Road/olympia buses NOT main exit. Room was great, plenty of space and water pressure in bathroom excellent. Appreciated UHT milk, tea and bottled water.

Reasonable room

Located in an area for easy access to everything in LOndon. The check in was easy and allowed us to check in 2 hours earliar than standard check in time which was very nice. Room is small with a fridge, electric hob. Bed is comfortable. Bathroom is small however clean and adequate. Shower head needs replacing as lime scales preventing water flow. Room is clean enough for my taste. Air conditioning is a massive plus. The room can be decorated with some nice paining or so. No iron or ironing board. Overall, I had a pleasent stay and would consider staying again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Sadly I had a poor stay. The room I was allocated leaked its air con all over the bed, soaking through to the mattress. It looked like it had been leaking a while as the wall was very damp. I called reception and they moved me to a much smaller room with no sockets near the bed. The TV wasn’t wired in, so the maintenance came to fix it so we had power but no actual reception to receive any TV!! Very disappointing all in all. The guy who came to my room was very respectful which was appreciated.

Convenient, bright and functional room, but tight

Cozy apartment, conveniently located in Earl’s Court, short walking distance to the tube. The place is small but has most of what you need. Appreciate the small cooktop and microwave so we can prepare simple meals and breakfast. Despite the double glazing windows, road noises can still be heard. It was fine for me, but for others this maybe an issue. The blinds are not full shades, so it gets bright when sun is out. The elevator was out of service for the entire time of our 7 days stay (does not seem will be fixed anytime soon), so do be prepared to walk up stairs. The manager was very responsive and helpful. Very nice guy and he even helped us carry our luggage down the stairs at check out (since the elevator was still out). I do appreciate that very much. All in all, it’s a fine place to stay on budget. It’s no frills and expect to be in tight quarters. If noise and walking stairs are not an issue, then it’s a good deal. But may not work for everyone.

We stayed at the Kensington Stay for 3 nights and overall it was a lovely stay. Amenities were good, the accommodation itself is a couple of minuite walk from the tube stop which is really handy and it felt very safe! Only thing to note is that we had a ground floor room and the traffic outside was pretty loud so I'd recommend bringing earplugs with you if you're a light sleeper!

Nice little efficiency very close to Earl’s Court tube station. My room was much smaller than the photos. Although it had a small stove, desk, refrigerator and closet, if there were more than one person in this room it would be too small no space to get in on one side of the bed. Perfect for one.

Clean, but tiny - still comfortable and recomended

Tiny room and bathroom and not well equipped «kichen». Very clean scandinavian style furnished. Plenty of storage. Close to the underground. Make sure to use the Warwick str exit! If not, take left and left again at the main exit. My granddaughter of 9 and I enjoyed our stay. Very nice manager. Thank you.
