The people and the service was outstanding! The restaurants for afternoon tea and dinner were excellent! 1st class experience. Kensington was a little less busy than downtown London which was nice, but still only a short bus or train ride away. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable! Beautiful place, with a lot of character and old time charm. Special attention to small details make the difference, like welcome drink of our choice at the stable bar, home made cookies at the room or the lighting candle near the bathtub every evening. Cleaning service was excellent. We enjoyed the delicious breakfast , served with style. Facing the Kensington palace gardens and very close to Victoria and Albert museum or the Harrods.We will come back, but this is a review for you there to let you know that if we have not this opportunity, we will never forget our stay with youBruno LanchezCleo Lampri

Visited years ago w my daughter. They were so accommodating, greeting us w champagne and Shirley cocktail. Breakfast was top notch. The rooms were great, and we loved the little bar downstairs. Perfect quaint and quiet spot in the middle of Kensington. (Def more couple oriented but just me and my 8 yo. They were still so welcoming.)

Rumain at the front desk, all the wait staff in the breakfast rooms, and concierge, were beyond hospitable. Any question we had they happily answered, and went above and beyond finding any solution. The breakfast was extraordinary, only second to the service. My expectations were surpassed, an absolute must to stay when visiting. We will definitely be booking there always!

Fabulous! Such a wonderful welcome from the Doorman. And the best vegan breakfast I’ve had in a hotel (the chef used the best tasting vegan products and even made tofu scramble!), along with great service from the waiter. All the staff are amazing! Such attention to detail. Will certainly stay again.
