An excellent location right by the Earl's Court tube station and within easy walking access to much of Kensington, Chelsea and South Ken. The included breakfast was very good as well.
All fine except early check in request not acknowledged. Arrived quite early after transatlantic flight , told not to return before 3pm.
Host at breakfast quite pleasant and entertaining.
Everything was great for the price, and it even surpassed my expectations. Staff was friendly, room was clean, and the size for the room for what I paid and the location felt like a good deal.
This hotel is in a prime location for exploring London. It’s steps away from the Earl’s Court Underground. Rooms were large for a European hotel. Breakfast was delicious and had a large variety. Service was excellent. Great for families traveling. Short 25 minute cab ride from Heathrow or take the underground directly in about 35 minutes. Will definitely stay again!
Comfortable bedroom although I would not have chosen to have a bedroom in the basement. There was very little natural light added to the fact that the room lighting was very poor.
Breakfast was delicious.
We loved this stylish, spacious room with huge modern bathroom. The location is perfect, between the bustle of Earl’s Court Road and leafy avenues lined with stately townhouses. Just a two minute walk to Earl’s Court Station’s District and Paddington lines, as well as several bus routes. I wish the lobby was larger, but the smaller size is to be expected in converted boutique buildings. This was our favorite hotel stay in London.
Good hotel, but not worth the money I spent.
Given a king room (009) with a hard bed and limited / poor view. Spent over £550 for 2 nights.
Staff were great and location was handy for Earls Court tube station.
Better elsewhere but fine if you need to be in this location.
Great London Location. We just returned from staying five nights at the indigo hotel Kensington in London. The neighborhood was convenient to Earl Court underground station and had several good restaurants, nearby. The rooms were spacious and pretty with nice big bathrooms, including tub and separate shower.
I felt like I was getting a British experience and not just another typical hotel vibe. My husband and I will return to this location if we are back in London again.
Excellent location, nice room only downside was our air con stopped working and it was extremely hot in our room. We just opened some windows, the staff was lovely and accommodating.
The room was lovely and breakfast was perfect, everything was always refreshed quickly. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The hotel was ideally situated for amenities close by, with a very short walk to the underground. We would definitely come back!
In May 2026 I stayed at the Hotel Indigo in Earl’s Court for five nights during a visit to London. The price was very reasonable for the area, and my room had a pleasant view and was comfortable by London standards. The breakfast was a highlight, with a good selection and consistently high quality, and the staff were genuinely helpful throughout my stay. The hotel is surrounded by several excellent restaurants and is just a short walk from the Earl’s Court Underground station, which made getting around the city very easy. Overall, this is a well-located, good-value option that I would gladly stay at again.
We’ve stayed at this hotel about four times over the years and love the location. It’s super close to the tube, lots of restaurants and pubs, and M&S food across the street. The breakfast is serviceable, but not worth paying extra for if it’s not in your room rate.
Sadly, we won’t be staying here again because of the rooms and beds. The last two times we’ve stayed here we’ve been given rooms in the basement (600s are in the basement) which are low, dark, and not as cool. The beds are higher than normal so you feel like Princess and the Pea. They are also very hard and my husband had a terrible time sleeping. We did ask for a non basement room this stay, but was told that was all that was available. Again, not a bad hotel — walk in shower is great and the location can’t be beat. But, sleeping is important and the rooms/beds aren’t comfortable.
Brilliant hotel. Almost feels like a 5 star!
For the high standard and location of the hotel, it is well worth the price!
Staff were very helpful, Room was very clean, massive bathroom and a decent breakfast.
I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Kensington.
