The Kensington Close Hotel & Health Spa

great location

nice hotel, good value for the money. room was quite small but adequate. close to public transportation. quiet location.

Big Heart, Tiny Room

As an ex-resident of Kensington I knew the Kensington Close and selected it intentionally as was most convenient for my trip to London. Everything about the hotel was as I remembered it, except that now they have divided the original rooms into two. Although comfortable, the size is not recommended to claustrophobics (which I am not). If you are looking for a decent place at a decent price in a prime location, then by all means put up with the size of the tiny room and the dingy baathroom.

small rooms

it was said 4 star hotel not even a 2 star, small rooms very inconvinient

Overall Satisfactory

Run down hotel. Excellent neighborhood. Uncomfortable bed. Overpriced.

maybe, just maybe 3 stars, definitely not 4 stars

The Kensington Close Hotel and Staff are friendly and nothing can beat the hotel's location. However, the charge for the internet in the rooms when most hotels in London offer the internet for free. Their solution, four pay by the minute computers in the lobby, is embarrassing. The quality and size of the rooms is poor, even my London standards. This hotel might rate three stars. Nothing more.

Great value for the price

My husband and I selected The Kensington Close for a short weekend getaway to London. The hotel definately met our expectations. The location is exceptional - very near the High Street Kensington Tube station. There are great restaurants nearby, as well as a Whole Foods market. As is typical in London, the room & bathroom were small, but very clean. The beds were comfortable. We would stay there again.

Great location/below standard room

This hotel is an incredible location to Notting Hill and Mayfair locations. If you want to sight see with incredible ease, this is your hotel. However, please be advised that you may not be that impressed with the cleanliness of the room and especially the bathroom. My bathroom was incredibly small for a major city and the fixtures were antiquated and that is not in a quaint way! The bathroom door did not work and there was mold. If you are not bothered by bathroom convenience, than I would recommned this hotel for location, price and very friendly staff. Fantastic shopping and restaurants right outside your dooor!

Excellent value and comfort

My son and I were in London for a holiday and had six very pleasant days and nights at the KCH. Our room was well suited to our needs, with plenty of space for gear, and comfortable beds. The bathroom was kept spotless, shiny and well stocked. The location is most convenient, with a variety of shops and restaurants and excellent Tube service. Everyone we met at the KCH was pleasant, informed, and helpful. A real pleasure. We were booked through a US agency, knew nothing beyond their recommendation, and found KCH to be a very satifactory accomodation.

Great location, great price. Extremely small room, but typical for London. Clean and convenient. Had to pay extra for WiFi.
