Top Kensington Central Library Hotel Reviews

Kensington House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The place was great! Very close to public transportation and shopping."

Miiro Templeton Garden

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was courteous and efficient"

Bob W London Hyde Park

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with tube station and restaurants nearby."

Brit Hotels Earls Court

10/10 Excellent

"Very attractive property, loved the garden area. Great location for our needs. Would recommend"

The Kensington Hideaway

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel. Lovely staff. Rooms are well equipped but pretty small. I would use again for a night or 2 but too small for longer than that."

The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second stay at The Bailey's and the location cannot be beaten. It's right next to the Gloucester Rd underground stop. The District and Circle lines are shallow train lines, always quick and convenient. And the Piccadilly line is handy for getting to and from the airport (note: you will have one flight of stairs in addition to an elevator). The room was clean, comfortable, and functional, and all my encounters with the staff were pleasant. If I could ask for one improvement it would be nicer pillows for side sleepers."

Ruby Zoe Hotel London by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location."

Point A Kensington Olympia

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Point A and was really pleased with my stay. The room was small, but that's exactly what was advertised, and they certainly weren't joking about it being cosy! What stood out most was how clean and well maintained the hotel was. It's genuinely one of the cleanest hotels I've stayed in. The bed was very comfortable, making it a great place to relax after a busy day. The staff were also attentive, friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, I was very happy with the hotel and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again."

Ember Locke Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay! Cozy, great vibe!"
