"Good location. Short walk to underground station. Two stops to South Ken for all the museums. Nice area, felt very safe. Apartment itself is OK. Rooms are small but we didn’t spend much time there so not an issue. Amenities were good; oven, fridge etc. Was clean enough but felt like it could do with a bit of a makeover to spruce the place up a bit. Check in was fine and comms were all very good. "

Point A Kensington Olympia

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are small, but clean and quiet.Great location within walking distance of the underground."

Radisson Blu Hotel, London South Kensington

6/10 Okay

"This hotel is in a very busy, commercial area, which isn't horrible but can be very noisy at times. The Underground is right around the corner which is great. There are a ton of fast food restaurants and a couple very nice restaurants. As far as the hotel itself.... The staff is extremely helpful!! I mean that, they are great. Unfortunately, the hotel is lacking in many areas. We booked online they Expedia and was sent email letting me know that I could inquire about a free upgrade.... When we arrived, I inquired, and was told I was supposed to do that they Expedia. No such a great start. We got to our room which was tiny...I mean tiny and hot. They came to look into the air conditioning and we decided to just upgrade. Back down the stairs and we did the upgrade. I asked them to make sure the air conditioner worked before we moved ourstuff, I was told they would definitely check. . "

Millennium Hotel and Conference Centre Gloucester London

4/10 Poor

"I couldn’t make this booking and no one it seems noticed. This is pretty poor seeing as they bombarded me with upgrade and marketing ideas before I stayed. So I’ve gone a low rating for hotel attention and average for hotel amenities etc as I’ve got no idea. Co all I know it’s a dump. However had the hotel inquired why I could t stay I might’ve been more friendly"

Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG

6/10 Okay

"We greatly enjoyed the buffet breakfast and the swimming pool. We had constant problems with getting our key cards to open the door of our room. This took some of the fun out of our stay. Despite arriving after 3pm for check in our roon wasnt ready. We faced a 30 minute wait which isn't ideal after a long journey. "
