The hotel pretends to be a 5 stars. Its the worst hotel ever. We travel all around the world and never we had such an awful experience. From a leak in the roof of the corridor, the wrong order in room service, no one speaks english, a fake manager trying to hide to the real one our remarks, rude people... More

My wife and I stayed six nights in a Garden Room in late May 2012.We are in our early seventies so the location is superb. The room was quiet, spacious and the bed and pillows very comfortable. Free internet usage in the room was fantastic as it allowed us to stay in touch with home on a regular basis (no... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this hotel - it was conveniently located in Hyde Park - right next to Kensington Palace and near a tube station, restaurants and shopping. The room was very modern with an excellent king size bed. The breakfast was amazing. More

When you add over 20 pounds for fairly average buffet breakfast and 20 pounds per day wifi charge and it doesnt seem so reasonable. You can... More

This hotel is pure calmness destination in London. Within a walking distance from almost everything...High Street Kensington station, Albert Hall, National Museum and of course the beautiful Hyde Park. The room that facing the Hyde park are second to none. The hotel has a Spa. Make sure you try the 10th floor authentic Chinese Restaurant called Min Jiang. More

I stayed for 6 nights at the Royal Garden Hotel in a large and bright room overlooking Kensington Gardens - just the view I was hoping for! I thought the room was quite comfortable, which was great since I spent a lot of time there working in the evenings. My stay also overlapped with Justin Bieber's, but I disagree with... More
