      The Corus was a good value for the money - especially after walking into some of the other private hotels in the area....the room was clean and spacious by European standards. The towels were a little worn as was the carpet and the upholstered furniture - but the bed had crisp linens and the bath was very clean. With little time spent in the room, I would consider staying there again for the price.

    Hotel was updated, clean & comfortable. Great food & nice cozy bar. Staff was very helpful & polite. Train station literally across the street and a bus... stop right outside the door. I was traveling with my 7 year old daughter & our executive studio had 2 separate rooms with a TV in each. Great feature when your viewing taste is different from the little ones. Also, the room had a nice desk/vanity where there were several portals for electronics. Great experience!! by Holly W  from Fl, USA on 04/01/13

    It was the last room available and it lived up to that bill. The room was right over the kitchen and, since the window didn't close all the way, it was filled with different aromas. The shower was clogged. At first, I had one minute to use the water before I had to turn it off due to a clogged drain. It eventually drained. After I reported the problem […] and supposedly some action taken, I had two minutes to use the water before it filled the drain. The cook could not get my eggs cooked to my satisfaction during a four day stay. It was a great location and friendly front desk staff. Behind the scenes seemed to be lacking. Read more

    Response by Rydges Kensington London Dear Tom, I am sorry to hear your stay was less than satisfactory. Our maintenance department service our drains monthly so that should not have happened, our chief engineer is on the case and is speaking to his staff accordingly. Regarding the window I have also logged this with maintenance to investigate. Our Head Chef has also been made aware of your eggs and is currently investigating. Here at the Rydges Kensington London we try and ensure that we assist our guests the best way possible, I am sorry it has seemed to not be the case this time but should you decide to return I have updated your profile with your comments and can ensure you a more pleasant stay Thanks and regards Joanna Carruthers General Manager

    We enjoyed a two night stay when we first arrived in London-- and we returned for another night after traveling north for a bit. The hotel was very clean and most of the staff was friendly and pleasant. Several were eager to answer questions and help us with map routes. Rooms are small, but efficient and very clean.

    We stayed for a week. A family of three in an Executive Studio. Hotel recently renovated in contemporary style. Welcoming lobby. Good sized and clean room. Large enough bathroom. Cordial staff. Weekly Wi-Fi package for a reasonable price, but cumbersome access. Computer stations by the lobby, but internet access only after you parches a code. No printer […] by the computer. Could not print boarding passes. Very good location. Two minutes from Gloucester Road station with the Piccadilly, Circle and District lines. Easy access to Heathrow airport and around the city. Ten minutes walking to Exhibition Road and Hyde Park. Cafes and grocery stores around the station. Would stay again. Read more

    The room was very nicely decorated. Bathroom was good sized for a London hotel. We had three people in the room, so my daughter slept on a fold out chair, which she said was not comfortable. The double-sized bed was very comfortable though. There is a 10 pound charge per day for the internet. There are a number of restaurants and museums nearby. It […] is a block from the Gloucester tube station on the Picadiilly Line, which goes directly to Heathrow airport. Read more

    The hotel was very nice. The Executive Suite we were in was excellent. It was newly renovated with a contemporary look and contemporary fixtures. We couldn't have been happier with the room. The staff was friendly but weren't terribly helpful when we inquired about purchasing two throw pillows that they show for sale. We ended up purchasing the pillows […] from our room. The location is great. It was very close to Hyde Park and the Underground was a block away. We would stay there again when returning to London. Read more

    We had a terrific stay at the Rydges. We had booked the Kensington Suite and were thrilled with the size, cleanliness (the room felt brand new), and ammenities (2 large LCD televsions; separate shower and tub; etc.). The sofa bed was not the most comfortable mattress, but it was nice to have the extra bed. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and […] helpful. The hotel is undergoing renovations so getting to our room was a bit awkward as the lifts were not working appropriately. Even though we were on the first floor, we had to go upstairs and back down stairs to get to our room which was especially tricky with luggage. I assume this will be corrected when the renovations are complete. Read more

    There is a bus stop right out side of the hotel entrance and the tube is less than a block away. The staff are friendly and well mannered but not very knowledgeable about the local attractions and events.

    For our first visit to London we got lucky and chose this hotel. I ignored many previous reviews as they mostly seem to come prior to recent renovations performed on the hotel. We found the room to be comfortable (perhaps a bit small by American standards), clean, and the staff were very accomodating and friendly. The location was ideal for our travels […] with the Gloucester Station just a short half block away. There was also a market and a few local pubs and restaurants that were quite good. The only real complaint I had about the hotel was the charge for wireless internet service. The charge was ridiculous and a bit of a black eye on the hotel. Its almost silly in 2011 that a hotel charges for internet access. Read more

    The staff at the front desk wouldn't even look up as guests were coming in and leaving. The hotel lost their entire television service, which was terribly disapopinting, since I chose this hotel in the neighborhood of my daughter's dorm, where she is doing her semester abroad. The idea was to have a fun evening together after dinner, just hanging in […] and watching some movies and catching up. When I complained, the hotel didn't offer any type of consolation. They merely shrugged their shoulders at me. Read more

    We had an overall excellent experience at this just renovated hotel. The staff ended up being VERY helpful with directions, accommodations, etc. We had to add a roll in bed the first night for my daughter, which cost us a room upgrade, but the staff made every effort to help us with directions, taxis, best travel options, and many other details. The […] neighborhood is safe and pretty, with only a 10 minute stroll to Hyde Park. 1/2 block to the Tube. Modern bathrooms,, cool cotton sheets, comfortable bed. The first night our room was above the street and a bit loud. When we moved to our regular room, it was very quiet. I cannot recommend this property highly enough. Read more

    As it turns out, under construction means the following: fire alarms every 40 minutes, even BEFORE the stated work hours of 8-4, water being shut off until 4, then that shut-off being extended to 6, then people from reception going door-to-door at 9pm to find out if the water is on, then Internet access being taken away with no alternative, and finally, […] a ceiling that began dripping when the guy above took a long shower. When I complained, they stood there and merely said, I'm sorry...sorry. Expedia should have told you we were under construction. Way to pass the buck. The location is fantastic, to be sure, but there are a TON of hotels on the same corner. I highly suggest the Radisson that is there. A bit more pricey, but free Wi-fi, gym, larger beds, etc. My suggestion is you go with any of your other options in that area - especially given its proximity to the parks and to the tube. Read more

    The ownership of this hotel must use this property as a cash cow as they appear to have put no money into the rooms - 1980s carpet-like wall paper, musty carpets, water stains on the wall, mattresses that feel second-hand (worn out, little support, curved). Hotels.com did relay my complaints about my room to management, who moved me the second day […] to a different room (which had a better mattress). The Rydges hotel staff could not be bothered with my complaints upon check in. Read more

    I would stay at this hotel again. The hotel was clean, service was good and efficient and location was great - 50 metres from tube station. It was convieniently located. The rooms are small but they are adequately furnished so even this was not really a negative. The bathroom was a good size give the overall size of the room. My sister was in a single […] room that was hysterically small but even this was sufficient as we were out sightseeing all day and didn't really need anything other than a clean room to sleep in. My room accomodated myself and my two daughters one of whom slept in a rollaway cot. It was a bit tight but certainly manageable. Cleanliness is more important to me than having more space. I would recommend this hotel. Read more

    we recently stayed at the Rydges Hotel for 2 nights. Enjoyed our stay very much. The service and cleanliness was outstanding. Room was very nice and we had the best sleep ever in a hotel due to a very comfortable mattress and the size of the bed (king). Only small concern was the size of the bathroom. When you are over 6 ft tall it becomes a bit cramped […] as the space between the toilet and shower is very small, however the shower was very good. Read more
