Since it was a hotel, I wish someone brought my luggage down for me when I checked out. A bit confusing to check in a different place than you’re staying.

Beautiful property in a quiet Neighborhood. Its a five minutes walking distance from restaurants, shops and the train station. The only downfall is our room was on the fifth floor (76 stairs to climb) and there is no elevator.

This was our second stay this year. During our 1st stay the weather was cold. This time it was hot! This time our room had a fan in it. We were so thankful.

Good stay. Room as described. The shower was very slippery and the shower head has to be held in your hand when showering, so may not be suitable for all.

Small but neat and clean hotel, typical of London. Staff is helpful and friendly, location is close enough to get around. Only complain would be the lack of elevator - my room was located on the 3rd floor and had to climb up 5 flights of stairs - not easy with luggage.

We had the most wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was absolutely amazing and kind and helpful. The room was comfortable in the location could not have been better. It was walkable to restaurants, and of course, Kensington Gardens. We even walked all the way to Kensington Palace. it was a wonderful day. Highly recommend.

I knew there wasn’t an elevator. I didn’t know there were 4 floors. 80 steps up winding stair cases with luggage isn’t really a great option. My 73 year old mother needed assistance but there wasn’t any. The two young girls at the desk didn’t offer. Plus in order to check in for the Kensington Hotel you have to go three doors down to a different hotel. She could barely get her luggage up the front steps of the check in. Still no help was offered. I ended up hauling her bag up the flights of stairs to our room.

Due to lack of conditioning, I had hard time even when the max daily temperature was 80-82 degrees. I cannot imagine staying in a room with 90+. The room is small and awfully heated by the sun with no ventilation whatsoever.
