Kensignton Gardens has a great location (near grocery stores and the Tube) and a friendly reception desk clerk. I loved the quaint architecture of the building. The place was generally clean. I got a single room where I had to share a bath. I assumed that meant the shower and toilet would be down the hall. I was pleasantly surprised... more

We stayed at this great hotel after being robbed at the first hotel we stayed at near Victoria station (room broken into, hotel not concerned). This place was excellent! We stayed in a basement room which was quiet, clean and spacious (to almost North American standards). The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, and the neighbourhood had everything we could... more

Stayed in a single room. Tha bed was above average comfort. Quite noisy fans outside the window wich needed to be open due to the rather hot room. Bathroom good and overall the room was clean. Friendly staff. Reception open 8am to 8pm then you had to pick up key at the phoenix hotel in the same building. The breakfast... more

Pros: 1. The front desk clerk, Rowshanak, is an extremely welcoming and helpful woman. She was probably the best part of staying at this hotel. 2. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, which is very close to restaurants, shops, pubs, and the Queensway & Bayswater Underground stops. 3. Within a short walking distance of Kensington Palace & Gardens. 4.... more

I stayed in the hotel 6 years ago during my first trip to the UK. I remember it being perfectly adequate with all amenities working. Certainly no sign of luxury, the breakfast was fine but not great, and the rooms are spartan. I was back again this year and needed a place just for one night. We stayed in the... more

We stayed two nights in this hotel. The first night was the day we arrived in England. The second night was the night before leaving. Therefore, we stayed in two different rooms about 8 days apart. Over the years we have stayed at a number of budget hotels in London. This was by far the best and we will plan... more

Recently visited london for a christmas shopping trip, (myself 19)with sister and best friend (both 17). The three of us shaired one of the hotels triple rooms and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. On arrival at the hotel we were greeted by the lady on the front desk. She was incredibly helpful and managed to answer all our questions before... more

We booked this hotel through Expedia where there was a "Europe on Sale" discount at the time - we were able to book for 47 pounds per night (!!). The excellent ratings we read online were also instrumental in our decision making. The hotel is located within a 5 minute walk from the Bayswater tube station, just off of a... more

I stayed at the Kensington Gardens Hotel on my recent trip to London. This "hotel" is more of a bed and breakfast. The front desk closes early, so when you come back after 8pm you have to visit the hotel next door to get your key. The continental breakfast is also held at the hotel next door. Our room was... more
