Top Kensington Palace Hotel Reviews

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience!"

The Kensington Hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"Location and staff!"

The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington

8/10 Good

"The double room was adequate in size, clean and fairly quiet given it was on the 2nd floor, faced the street and the entrance to the hotel. The bathroom was clean, had good space for toiletry bags and extras. The shower was a bit confusing to operate; however water pressure was good and hot water plentiful. Our only complaint was the lack of ac. The room remained stuffy throughout our stay. The location was good. The train station, a good pub and shops are across the street. Most of the sights are a good walk. Plan on taking the train, the bus or taxis. The staff is very attention and helpful!"

The Cumberland, London

8/10 Good

"Third time here as the hotel is a great base for central London. The staff were all lovely, especially those on the front door and at the luggage room. We had an executive king room which gave us access to the VIP lounge. The lounge has moved since our last visit. We only used it briefly in the mornings and evenings so we can’t comment on other times of the day, but the room is now far too small for the number of guests. The breakfast bites were good as were the drinks but there is no longer a menu for a range of evening snacks. Instead guests are offered one plateful each of a fixed selection of small canapés. The complimentary mini bar in our room contained one beer one can of coke and three bottles of water (for 2 people) and was not refilled after the first day."

Bob W London Hyde Park
