    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I loved the cozy atmosphere of my room, which was perfectly clean and fitted with a large wardrobe for my belongings! The hotel's location is a perfect launchpad for exploring museums and cafes, all within a short walk. Plus, the breakfast area was good, providing just the right amount of delicious options to kickstart my day with a warm vibe.

    100% recommend ❤️😊

    singapore noodles
    heated bathroom floor
    helpful staff
    lesser quality breakfast
    cramped room

    The chilled-out vibes at Villa Kensington got me all excited for local eats! Check out Bugis Street for some killer Singapore noodles, and don't miss The Bombay Brasserie—it’s a feast! Oh, and the staff? Top-notch, super helpful! Plus, the bathroom had heated floors which was heavenly for those chilly London mornings.

    But let's keep it real. breakfast was a bit of a letdown with some lesser quality options. Oh well, still managed to fuel up! The room was cozy but small—might have felt a bit cramped if I was staying longer.

    The air conditioning was a lifesaver during the 30-degree heat, and the staff's flexibility in providing early room access made for a smooth arrival.

    friendly staff
    great location
    quick assistance
    small bathroom
    lack of mirror

    This place was perfect for my group trip to explore the local museums and parks. The location made it super easy to reach the underground and other attractions within just a short walk. The staff was incredibly friendly, helping us with light issues in our room right away. However, the room could have benefited from an extra mirror, especially since we had three people getting ready. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd definitely recommend it to other travelers.

    comfortable beds
    hallway noise

    The room was good and shower room excellent.

    The beds were very comfortable. However, it could get a bit noisy at times, especially in the hallways during peak hours. Overall, a pleasant stay.

    convenient supermarket

    Consider using the nearby Waitrose Supermarket for affordable snacks and drinks, as the hotel lacks mini fridges in the rooms.

    charming area
    friendly staff
    small single room
    rough repairs
    limited dining space

    The location is a standout feature, just a short walk from the tube and nestled in a lovely area. The breakfast exceeded expectations, offering a fresh selection that set the day off right. However, the single room was quite small, and minor repairs needed attention. Despite this, the staff were welcoming and promptly addressed any issues. A lovely stay overall, with the charm of the area adding to the experience.

    great location
    affordable breakfast
    cramped room

    Had an awesome time with my friends! We explored the nearby museums and caught a game at Stamford Bridge. The staff were super friendly, and we got early access to our rooms. Great location near the Gloucester station makes it easy to get around. Breakfast was a steal at just 5 pounds!

    The room we stayed in was a bit cramped, but it was manageable for our short stay. Just be prepared for low water pressure in the shower, which was a minor inconvenience.

    Charming Stay with Great Connectivity

    I had a pleasant overnight stay while waiting for my flight. The single room was small but clean and cozy. I enjoyed the convenience of nearby restaurants and the friendly staff offered helpful tips for navigating the area. Definitely grab breakfast for a quick start to your day!
