I was happy with everything: service, courtesy, location, comfort and price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great stay!"
This hotel met all our expectations. We booked a great rate for early Febraury on hotels.com and were expecting a tiny room,a over priced Internet and tiny towels, as per previous reviews. But we found the opposite, a small but clean room compact but with good storage and a powerful shower. Front desk accommodated us with early check-in as we arrived […] at hotel at 7.30 am on an international flight, that was wonderful! Also enjoyed a great tea and scones in the dining room in the late afternoon for a great bargain off less than 6 pounds. Location was top, cabs plentiful out front. I will stay at KC again.

"Great hotel - highly recommend!"
Fantastic location, great hotel, friendly staff. Will definitely stay there again.Genuine Expedia guest review
This was the nicest hotel we have stayed in in London. Loved the location and it was quiet and new. Was on sale the weekend we had it and it was a real treat!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent London option"
Nice neighborhood, about two blocks from the Underground. They charge too much for the internet, but there is (currently free) wifi at the Underground station if you only need quick access. I'd certainly stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great and improved hotel"
The hotel was recently renovated, the lobby is much better and the room is modern and big compared to the old room. The bathroom is great, there is separate bath and shower. This might not be the same for the ordinary rooms because I was upgraded to a club room. The reception is much better. Before, I have to wait ages before I can check in or out but […] now it was very fast and efficient. I will come back again to see how the ordinary room is set-up. But for this experience, I would say it is a great and improved hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Glad I Booked"
I stayed in a single room at this hotel, and though it was smaller than perhaps what I am used to in the US, the room was plenty big for what I needed to do. It had a bed, a chair with table, a desk, a wardrobe, and a suitcase holder. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the location is as good as it gets-- very close to the tube stop, right […] around the corner from the high street, but still far enough away from all the noise. I definitely recommend this place for anyone needing a safe, clean, very convenient place to stay while visiting London! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Renovating and improving"
They are still renovating (I stayed late last summer and there is a noticeable difference) but it was quiet while I was there. Staff is friendly and helpful, and location is great.Genuine Expedia guest review
"1st impressions"
my only concern was the 1st room we had was so small, my husband could not get out of bed and walk to the bathroom, he had to scoot on his bottom around the bed to get up. honestly my closet at home is bigger than the room. I complianed and Steve who worked at the hotel, got us a bigger room that was absolutely wonderful. After ther 1st night it was […] perfect and the hotel has been upgraded and looks wonderful.

"Great next to Whole foods"
You can ask for a mini fridge for your room and stock up on food from Whole foods.. DONT order room service.. they never answer the phone and when they do, the order will be wrong. One day it will be good, the next day it will be horrible!!! BUT they do have a gym and tanning bed!! thats a plus in London.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel"
I stayed at the Kensington Close Hotel in 2003 and was glad to return this February. It is a nice hotel in a great location. Indoor pool and spa is also great. No disturbance at all from the construction.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Clean Comfortable & Great Location"
I was in Kensington on business. This hotel is conveniently located for everything I needed. The room was clean, comfortable and furnished to a good standard. I had a double room which was ideal for me on my own but might have been a little cramped for sharing.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"praise for kensington close hotel"
all staff very attentive and reception staff could not have been more helpful when we arrived in our room we were very disapointed and we had a special needs toilet which we had not asked for we were immediately upgraded to club room with no fuss or bother the club room was brilliant and we are very satisfied customersGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"handy to many great sights"
quiet side street location, within walking distance to Kensington Palace & gardens, Science museum, Natural History museum, Victoria & Albert museum, Royal Albert Hall, shopping mall. A few blocks to a "Big Bus" hop-on-hop-off station and underground station where you can access all the rest of London. The hotel had a nice restaurant & lounge also.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
This guest did not leave a comment.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Thought the bedroom was a little bit sparsely furnished but this did not really matter as the room was only used for sleeping purposes. Location is very good especially with Underground only about 100 metres away. We did not use the hotel for dining but this was only because we were well away from the hotel at meal times. Generally speaking, an excellent […] choice of hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Excellent hotel with a pool in central London"
I've stayed here before and always try to book this hotel for my regular one night a week stay in London. This time I got a free upgrade from a standard double room and got a huge bed! It was very comfortable. As usual, the supply of coffee in the room is a bit limited (3 sachets in a double room-how does that work out?) but the room was very clean […] and very comfortable. I love the gym, pool and spa at this hotel (£8 extra) and it's why I book it all the time. I've never eaten here but the menu's look reasonable. Once again, there was a queue at check-in but I'm beginning to come to expect it so don't get agitated with waiting. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Fab hotel in fantastic location for shopping!"
Me and my Mum stayed for two nights and we had a fabulous stay! Beautiful lounge and room, great breakfast, only disappointment was having to pay £8 for a pool that really wasn't very nice and most definitely not worth the money. Great location only a couple of mins walk from High St Kensington which is great for shops and tube, will definitely ret […] urn. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great for overnight business stay"
Hotel room was great; I've marked down condition of room as the bathroom was showing it's age a bit. I was greeted by the sound of the hotel utility and delivery trucks from about 5am onwards; otherwise all good for the price I paid. I specifically booked this hotel due to the pool, steam room & location; it suited me perfectly and I would choose this […] hotel again. Obviously, it was a choice of many tourists too-seemed a popular choice and I could see why. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
very very nice hotel, staff very helpfull and freindly My son was very impressed by been called Sir by doarman on arrivalGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The only problem was a continuous noise like a central heating plant in the area outside my room.If I closed the window the room was too hot. I would be more careful next time to have a room away from this noise but I got used to it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A very enjoyable stay"
The staff were very helpful even when I had to change room due to an unexpected fault with the aircon. Very clean and tidy place I would definitatly stay there again and would recommend to friends.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location for Kensington Gardens"
The hotel was ideally located next to High Street Kensington tube station and only 10min walk to Kensington Gardens. The hotel had a luxury feel to it and the service i received was great. They offer a concierge service so you can arrive early and leave your bag safely before the check in time which was really helpful for making the most of my time […] there. I stayed in a single room and it was a perfect size and very comfortable. Will definitely use this hotel again if i need to stay in the area Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good value, well appointed 4* Hotel"
Excellent hotel in good location. Highly competent front or house staff and very well appointed public areas, lounge bar and room, though the room allocated was on the small side. Did not use restaurant so cannot comment on food. Bar service was top class with very professional and charming staff. Meals served in bar appeared to be very well received […] by diners. Will definitely be using this hotel again and would recommend it highly to others. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Central location good value"
We were very pleased with the location and degree of comfort of the hotel. It was exceptionally good value for money considering its central location and it was also during August when the Olympics were on.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"great place to stay in l ondon"
What a bargain for London. All we needed and room was nice sized. Great service ans friendly staff.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Brilliant location, great facilities"
This hotel is still undergoing renovation, so there's a fair amount of building actiivity going on, but this means the price is ultra-competitive for the location and facilities, if you don't mind the fact that there are builders around the place. I got upgraded which made it even better value. Hotel staff all exceptionally helpful and pleasant, great […] room, brand new ensuite, hotel bar. I didn't eat there so can't comment on the food. Awesome location - a couple of minutes walk to tube, cafes, High St Ken shops and easy stroll to South Ken restaurants, museums etc. Very safe feeling as loads of people around all the time. Pool and gym were great, but cost 8 pounds a day - excellent value as you could also do classes for this. Overall, a top quality hotel for budget price. Loved it.

"Thumbs Up for this hotel"
We took a gamble when we booked this hotel because we saw some of the negative reviews that were posted. However, we are glad that we decided to stay here. The staff at the Kensington Close Hotel were attentive to our needs. We emailed the hotel a couple of times prior to our arrival with different questions and received prompt responses every time. […] We requested a quiet room with a bigger bed if possible. When we arrived at the hotel at 8 am on a Sunday morning, we were pleasantly surprised that the room was already ready for us and we were given a room upgrade (king bed) at no additional cost. Check-in was a breeze with zero wait time. Our room was nicely refurbished and the bathroom fixtures were new. We were very impressed with the hotel staff in general. We were courteously greeted by the door man, the reception and the concierge every time we passed by. We had breakfast at the restaurant and the servers were very friendly as well. Overall we are very happy with the Kensington Close Hotel and we have no problems recommending it. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
