Lord Kensington Reviews

Very good value for money. Rooms clean and comfortable.

A very small room very uncomfortable bed but the room was clean. central for our needs.

My wife and i were happy staying at the lord kensington. the hotel is very close to the underground. we found a couple of pubs close by which served good food. the hotel was a little on the small side, but the room and hotel was clean, and the staff very polite. for the price you could not complain. we would have no problem staying at the same hotel again

For the money the accommodation was excellent. Although small our room was clean and comfortable. Contrary to other reviews our room was in a fairly quiet position - quieter than I expected for central London - and we both slept well. The staff were courteous and helpful. If I had to give any criticism it would be that the room was a bit too warm. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a comfy overnight stay. Will stay there again!

They gave me a room whose windows opened opposite to the train station...............only slept for a couple of hours when there was no train service

Very convenient location, with lots of local shops, restaurants/takeaways, pub etc plus 3 minute walk to Earls Court station - however that can be the problem. You need earplugs! My first room overlooked the platform at Earls Court, and trains (plus anouncements) were constant throughout the night. I could not get the windows (which had been left open) to close, and although a member of staff came straight up and managed to close them, with no double glazing the noise was still too much to sleep through. I did complain (as the toilet did not flush and shower was blocked too) and was moved the following day to another room, on the opposite side of hotel - not an upgrade (tv alot smaller, too high up, and picture fuzzy), but quieter never the less. Staff were polite and helpful when they needed to be. Each 'double' room had a double and single bed squeezed in - rooms are small. 3 people, in either of these rooms, would have literally been on top of each other. It would have been better to have the extra space, without the single bed - even with only 2 people it would have been very cosy. Decor is basic and worn. Everything was clean, though the general age of fittings and furniture meant that it did not always feel clean. Breakfast was simple, continental, reasonable quality, and replenished quickly by staff, but equally nothing to write home about. Overall, if I had not known the rating of this hotel, I would have thought it was 2 or 3 star at best, and not good value for money (even at extortionate London prices).

Would be happy to stay there again. Easy connections for tube as only a few mins from Earls Court. Breakfast was sufficient and staff very friendly. Hotel would benefit from visitors being able to sit out in back garden on nice evenings. Only 5 stars for cleanliness as net curtains were a bit grubby, I am being picky though.

Would stay again.

Pleasant hotel situated near to Earl's Court tube, so handy for getting around.
We booked two rooms, a double for my husband and I and a twin for the girls, the twin was a reasonable size but ours was extremelly small with an en-suite that would have been more appropriate for a child - very tight fit!!
Breakfast good on Saturday morning but by Sunday we were on rations!

The accommodation was adequate just. No air com in a room so small as to be too hot and stuffy particularly as the window faced thenoisy tube station just over the road. If the window was open then the sound was more than obtrusive, if closed the room too stuffy, hot with no air flow. Breakfast was very good and service also good
