As has been said by other contributors the location is perfect to access London and the airport with the Gloucester Rd station around the corner. The restaurants in the area are fair but he place seems quite safe The hotel is old and in need of a make over, but there's a supply and demand issue, so at the moment... More

I recently stayed at The Kensington Rooms while my wife was in hospital nearby having an operation. The proximity to South Kensington and Gloucester Roa tube stations made it an ideal choice. The booking price was reduced heavily and I felt blessed at my luck as I left the booking till quite late in the day. Even when I decided... More

After reading the other reviews for this hotel when my company booked me in I was not impressed . However I was pleasantly surprised !! The hotel is in a great location - really close to Gloucester road tube on the circle line. The reception looks great and due to the reviews I asked for a back room, this was... More

My stay at Kensington Rooms in Room 19. The hotel is well positioned along the Cromwell Road, 5 mins walk from Gloucester Road underground station, 10 - 15 mins walk from Harrods. On arrival the staff were pleasant and I have no complaints whatsoever against the staff. My disappointment commenced with the winding route along the ground floor to my... More

Booked here as our prefference next door was not available. Don't go by the photo's on their web site, the rooms are nothing like what they show. They are filthy dirty, the carpets are full of years worth of dust and dirt. Cabling is unsafe, shower leaks everywhere, the bathroon is dirty, bed is dirty, TV is just a 12"... More

I was quite shocked seeing the hotel as it wasn't what I expected from the photos, the room was very small and cold, and so noisy from the traffic if the street, I'm used to noise as I lived in London but it really disburbed sleep, which was worsened by the blinds not working! The staff weren't to helpful either

I would not recommend this hotel: Pros: Room was clean 2 minute walk from a lovely restaurant (Garfunkel's) pretty close to Natural History & Science Museum (15 min walk) Cons: Single glazed window with a room facing a main road meant very little sleep. I'm glad we didn’t go in the summer as having the window open would have made... More

Good points first: The hotel is in a great area, being around a 15 minute walk away from the National History Museum and the Science Museum, it is also only 5 minutes away from Gloucester Road tube station which being on the Piccadilly line is ideal for travelling into the centre of London. It was also clean and the hotel... More
