We used to come here almost every year when we stayed in London for a short break before COVID and it was honestly one of the best places I've ever stayed. The rooms are always tidy and perfect, the staff are welcoming and tell you everything you need to know. Not to mention that the location is great as it's really close to Hyde Park which holds the Christmas fair in the winter which we enjoyed, and it's close to high street Kensington which is never short of shops, restaurants and a tube station should you want a change. I'd like to say we'd love to come back but I already know we will!

I stayed at Kensington House Hotel as a solo traveller on two separate occasions in the past month. On the first occasion, I was warmly welcomed by the reception staff, early in the morning after a 17-hour flight. …

Very nice location near Kensington Park, V&A / Natural History Museums and tons of shopping / restaurants. Staff was very kind and helpful. Older building and I had a noisy upstairs neighbor walking around ALL NIGHT.  …

This hotel is in a perfect location just outside central London - the area is very upmarket and quiet with a handy array of shops nearby - room was smallish and the bathroom needed updated - rental bikes are nearby also which we took full …

Perfectly nice hotel. Good value in that part of town. Clean tidy stylish. Room was good standard, a little wear and tear but clean and stylish. Continental breakfast was very good, nice selection and nice attentive staff. Reception to check in and check out were polite but lacked warmth/friendliness. But that's only a small point. We would stay there again for a good quality hotel and super convenience for Kensington, parks, Albert Hall etc.

Ideally located for Kensington, Hyde park, Royal Albert Hall and The big museums. The room was clean but on the small side. They have an elevator which is tiny. Breakfast was quite adequate. Parking at the location can be problematic but it is a short walk to 2 tube stations. The staff are friendly and helpful. Perfect for exploring the area or as like us, going to a show. Adjoining rooms are available too. We would stay there again.

Excellent service, quiet part of London but close to many sites such as Victoria and Albert museum, Kensington palace, Diana fountain and close to large park areas. Le Petit Sud restaurant good value approx 100m away. Room well appointed although ceiling fan didn't work yesterday being the hottest day on record. Breakfast basic continental but wholesome.

I stayed here for a weekend and found it to be a very pleasant hotel. The room was a good size, everything was clean and in order. The food was ok, just nothing special but it's about 10 minutes walk to the Albert Hall and a stone's throw from Kensington gardens which is perfect if you plan to get out and about to see the tourist sites of London on foot.
