We got a good deal at this well-located hotel. My room - a single - was small but had everything I needed and was very comfortable for my stay. The staff I encountered were lovely and we enjoyed a nightcap in the lovely bar. Thanks for a great stay.

Radisson Blue Kensington is a good value hotel. The small room, bath, etc., was expected and worked well for me. However, if you are a big person, you may want to consider getting a larger room.

Small dingy room - A/C was noisy but had to use as room was hot. Hall areas behind the flashy front areas need both a good clean and some maintenance Would not use again. I forgot how bad and expensive London hotels are compared to Asia and Europe.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff was friendly but did not explain clearly how to ensure all lights would be in use (there is a key cards port that must be used). The room itself was acceptable, but in disrepair. The shades were not functional and half falling off. The shower doors were not functional and finishes need to be updated. The area around the hotel is the best part of the hotel. Walkable, near tourist sites, but also easy access to bus and tube lines to get you anywhere else in the city, including direct line for LHR.

It was convenient, and it provided a place to crash. But the AC didn’t fully work, the bathroom is really small and the sink didn’t drain well. It also took a long time for the bath water to get hot before a shower. But the restaurant downstairs was convenient and delicious, it’s close to a tube station, and there are plenty of walkable restaurants

Location is ideal for business in South Kensington, and great for tourists looking for home base. Three Tube stops nearby, Gloucester Road the closest. Walking to Royal Albert, Hyde Park, V&A, High Street Kensington. Hotel breakfast was ok - better warm options on request. Staff are super kind and helpful. Room was large, not common in the UK! Gym was small but plenty of equipment to get in a workout.
