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!
I have been lucky with my room at this hotel many times but not this last time. One was very noisy - every time someone walked in the next door room my bed vibrated, another was mostly in the basement. The third one was fine but I won’t risk the hassle again. Great location for heathrow and central London.

Charming place, great staff but room was hot and we couldn’t control the thermostat. Had to sleep with windows opens at night.
We loved our stay here, the room was large for London with high ceilings, a lovely view, and a comfy bed. The location is top-notch, steps to Earl's Court tube station and loads of shops and cafes (the Blackbird pub on the corner was wonderful) but off the noisy main street. We did have one hiccup where the hotel lost water for a couple of hours one morning, which delayed our plans, but the staff were nice about it and everything else too.
Premium character hotel in central London with superb value to cost. Spent a week here whilst attending a technology conference. Hotel is nicely furnished and the breakfast to order was great.
Lovely staff who were genuinely nice and friendly. You could feel that it’s a naturally nice place to work. I’m normally used to paying 250/night for central London, but Indigo really makes the case to stretch that to 350 for such a huge gain in comfort and style.
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.

After a poor start with the hotel giving us basement rooms with only a small sky-light the staff rectified the matter and we received lovely rooms on the first floor. This hotel has always been our favourite place to stay in London and we
have in the past always had a great time. The location is so convenient to the tube at Earl's Court, restaurants and shops.
Roger and Richard went above and beyond serving a delicious breakfast each morning included with room. Excellent location with restaurants and grocery next door. Clean. Close to subway as well.
Nice location with good connection to downtown and Heathrow.

Disliked: Room comfort
It’s a decent place in a nice location. Very close to a tube station and some dining options. The hotel is a little bit rundown. The rooms are very small and not that well designed but we will stay there again.
We spent 1 night in the hotel as a family of 3. The hotel was very helpful to get a cot set up for our daughter. The rooms were spacious enough to not feel cramped. Good water pressure in the shower.
Great staff , welcoming front desk and wonderful breakfast with lots of options !
We had our dog with us and stayed in a ground floor room which was perfect, everyone was so dog friendly , will definitely recommend !!
