Point A Kensington Olympia

6/10 Okay

"It's a small room for 2. Room temperature was a bit hot so we had to put on AC which made dust moving in the room"

Ellen Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was clean and quite updated, staff were pleasant and helpful, the room was a bit on the smaller side but very nicely laid out. The location is fantastic, tucked away on a side street away from the bustle of the main street, but a short stroll to the subway station, and well within walking distance of Kensington Palace and Royal Albert Hall."

Radisson Blu Hotel, London South Kensington

6/10 Okay

"The staff were absolutely amazing throughout my stay, especially Cecilia in the morning who was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately, the rooms are in need of an upgrade. My room had the heating switched on and I couldn’t turn it off, which made it very uncomfortable on a hot summer evening. There was a fan in the room which helped to an extent, but it was still difficult to get comfortable. I tried opening the window, but the room overlooked huge fans and a chimney, so it wasn’t much better. Luckily, I was only staying for one night."

The Rembrandt

8/10 Good

"Great experience overall. Really enjoyed the breakfast. Had some issues with bathroom sink not draining appropriately, one of glasses were cracked and was never replaced, and oddly there was no hair conditioner available. Would recommend for the location - great for visiting the Natural History and Victoria & Albert Museums, as well as being walking distance to Hyde Park, many surrounding restaurants, and access to South Kensington Station."

Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean and tidy and had all that was needed. The hotel is situated in a good location just 5 minutes from the tube and high street . The room was nice and quiet. Staff were all pleasant and helpful apart from one person who dealt with our left luggage who was a bit miserable . The big thing that brought down the star rating for us was that the hotel charges for left luggage . It is very disappointing that when you have spent a night with a hotel that luggage is charged for . I have not known a hotel to do this in the UK .Whilst it is not huge sums of money it is the principle of the matter ."
