I stayed here with my aunt and it was a lovely experience. The rooms were quaint and well-appointed, the breakfast basic but delicious (toast, cereal, eggs any way, bacon and tea or coffee), and the dining room was adorable. Everything was very clean. Some people may say that there need to be some updates, but I think that if anything... More

The hotel provided for a pleasant and friendly stay. The hotel is suitably located for access to the tube, shopping and Portabello road market. Breakfasts were very well presented/well prepared- a morning delight, service very efficient. The beds are not large but then nor are the rooms - if you have a large body mass and two in the bed...

I certainly enjoy the moderate rates of the Vicarage Gate Hotel which is a small B&B-like venue just around the corner from Kensington Palace. The rooms are very basic but clean. And the staff is efficient and welcoming. And if you stay here, don't miss out on the Ottolenghi takeout place neary for the best yummy snacks and meals -... More

My husband and I have stayed at the Vicarage two separate times over 5 years. It is more like staying with a well-to-do London family than a hotel. The lovely rooms have all the amenities one needs - whether you have a shared bath or an en suite bath. The staff is most obliging in helping with whatever you may... More

This is a hidden gem. A beautiful four storey Georgian house in the middle of Kensington, just 5 minutes from High Street Kensington tube. If you are looking for a clean, quaint and charming place to stay in central London at a great price then you are discovered a treasure. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. The cooked breakfast... More

Location and safety and comfort is key when traveling out of country and the Vicarage fit the bill. There are 2 tube stations within a 10-15 minute walking distance and Kensington Palace is around the bend. The neighborhood is beautiful and I was able to get some good photographs. Romano's Italian restaurant and Cafe Rouge are close by and affordable... More

While this Bed and Breakfast is in a great location and handy to transport, laundrette and restaurants, I felt it was a b it overpriced for the standard of accommodation. The room was very hot and stuffy, so had to sleep with window wide open all night. The televsion room was also shut every time we went in, so had... More

I stayed here with my wife for the Olympics, initially I wanted a simply travelodge but they were all booked up. We looked for B&B's and came across this interesting one. I reluctantly booked it fearing what 'shared bathroom' meant but my worries proved to be none existant! In short the location was superb, the room was clean and homely,... More

We had 2 rooms over 3 nights. The good: great location within a 10 min walk to Portobello market, 2 tube stations, 2 busy bus routes, Kensington Gardens and is in a quiet neighborhood; breakfast was very nice with eggs cooked to order, cereals, some fruit, etc. The things to be aware of: no elevator for most of the rooms...
