Kensington stay
Stay was fine. Room was clean, bathroom exceptional. Ideal for a one night stop over. Two minutes walk from tube station.Easy to speak to someone on the phone when needed. A little noise but still slept.

Handy place to base yourself in London
Extremely handy to transport options in Earls Court, the rooms are well appointed with lots of storage options. There is a virtual front desk, but any requests are responded to in a timely manner.

Good room, ample size. Quite noisy though as hotel is positioned on a main road and the blinds are not black out blinds so woke very early.
Bed was comfortable and the bathroom completely new.
Would stay again.

Great location. Good rooms and bathroom.
Could do with a mirror in the room near to an electrical socket (for drying hair) and the shelves could do with a dust.

Great location
Brilliant location only five mins from Earls Court Station and facilities were good too. Great communication in advance of arrival as no staff present. Only slight downside is that the road is incredibly busy even at night and so suffers a little with traffic noise.

We stayed at the Kensington Stay for 3 nights and overall it was a lovely stay. Amenities were good, the accommodation itself is a couple of minuite walk from the tube stop which is really handy and it felt very safe!
Only thing to note is that we had a ground floor room and the traffic outside was pretty loud so I'd recommend bringing earplugs with you if you're a light sleeper!

The cost of staying at Kensington Stay was good for London. It was unusual not to have staff around to hand you your room key but the way system is…it works. Def consider staying again if I need to have a bed for the night.

Clean, but tiny - still comfortable and recomended
Tiny room and bathroom and not well equipped «kichen». Very clean scandinavian style furnished. Plenty of storage. Close to the underground. Make sure to use the Warwick str exit! If not, take left and left again at the main exit. My granddaughter of 9 and I enjoyed our stay. Very nice manager. Thank you.

It felt like we were in a premier boat cabin or space ship. Everything was organized and the sensor lights were convenient. A pity that the elevator was broken and the freezer over frosted but besides that, very convenient, clean, and affordable.

Perfect
Quick overnight trip with my daughter for a concert. This room was exactly what we needed. Perfectly located for transport links. Perfect size room with kitchenette, microwave, fridge, sink and hob. Building was quiet although there is traffic noise- it’s in the centre of the city so to be expected. Plenty of storage if you were planning on a longer stay. Shower and bathroom was great. Iron available if you phone reception- number on the wall in the foyer. Will definitely book again.

Great budget base
Great little base for exploring London or going to shows as we were.
Positives, the room was clean, plenty of storage and had everything you need for a couple of nights including AC.
Negatives, they could invest in some better blinds as they block out no light, lift was broken and we were on the top floor, fridge door doesn't shut properly so took ages to get cold. And there was a terrible smell coming from somewhere in the bathroom plus the extractor didn't work so smelt pretty bad all weekend in there. Think we were in room 9
