Very professional staff, very pleasant and eminently approachable - we were made to feel very welcome! We booked a cosy room which, although quite small, was perfect big enough & had everything we needed and the bed was super comfy!! My only slight criticism is the shower leaked but not too bad to put me off so if we’re ever in London and need an overnight in Kensington I would have no hesitation to book again!

We enjoyed everything about our recent Bailey's experience. Great location - right next to a tube station. Welcoming, professional staff. Clean, quiet rooms. Nice breakfast to start the day, nice hotel ar to end the day. Walkable neighborhood nearby, lots to see, and lots of food choices. We'd gladly return. Cheers.

The Hotel is very well located for sightseeing since it is on the Piccadilly, Central and District lines. There are pubs, restaurants, coffee shops, a Waitrose and Tesco market within a 5 minute walk. The room was quiet and clean. I appreciated the daily cleaning service, water refills and made use of the refrigerator. The bar and restaurant were nice with good food and service. The rooms are as pictured and were comfortable. This is London so expect small rooms. Be sure to check the square footage listed on the website to avoid a surprise. I stayed 9 nights in a classic double and was very comfortable.

All staff were incredible. Very polite and welcoming. Unfortunately my electrics did not work on arrival to my suite. This took around an hour to fix which was inconvenient after a long day of travel but the maintenance man was very kind which made it better. The room was great, no fault at all. Another problem was when booking it mentioned breakfast was included with my reservation. It also says this in my confirmation but was told at reception that breakfast would be charged from my deposit at checkout which was very disappointing. I decided to go for breakfast to a nearby restaurant each day instead. Other than these 2 issues the stay was nice and quiet and the hotel is in a great location right next to the underground.

Lovely hotel. Loved the history of the building. Room very nice and clean. Location is absolutely perfect for the museums and underground. however there was one issue we had, if you are booking this hotel via expedia to include a child a spare bed is NOT included in the price! We had a unpleasent shock when at check out we were advised a bed wasnt included and it would be a further £30 for one. My heart sunk and it wasnt the start of the break we were expecting and left me feeling a bit sick at the added cost on top of what we had already paid. Thankfully the issue was resolved when a second receptionist stepped in however i wanted to add this to the review for anyone looking at staying with children. Even if youre booking for 2 adults and 1 child and add the age a bed is not included! I will be also complaining to expedia about this issue. Despite the initial issue we had a lovely stay and everything else was perfect.

The Bailey’s Hotel is perfect. Now probably my favourite hotel in London. The room was the prefect size for a small family of three. The staff were exceptional and approachable and friendly. Gloucester Road tube station is conveniently just down the road with access to all over London. Kensington High Street is only 1 stop away on the tube. This is a lovely hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay here.

Fantastic property! Rooms are very spacious which is rare for a big city, and it’s right next to an underground station that has the Piccadilly line (which gets you to basically most London tourist attractions) and the district and circle lines. Concierge was very friendly and the bar downstairs is great and has happy hour. Only complaints was the room got quite hot and the AC would not blow cool air you could only change the fan. I believe the AC was centrally controlled but we just opened the window and were ok. Also the step in to the bathtub was very high and awkward so be aware if you’re older or have any mobility issues to book an accesible room. The area has lots of restaurants within .5 mile walk that are delicious, and two different grocery stores right across the street.

We had an outstanding experience at the Bailey's Hotel and would love to return again in the future. The location is conveniently located across the street from the Gloucester Road tube station. This is on the Piccadilly, District, and Circle lines, making it very convenient to travel throughout London, but the station was not overly busy like many stations in central London. Our room was perfect for our party of 4 with 2 very comfortable double beds. The room was extremely spacious with room for us to lay out 3-4 suitcases, a desk, and 2 easy chairs. The service was extremely attentive and courteous. We took high tea one day in the dining room which was a fantastic with delicious scones, sandwiches, and cakes. Our stay at the Bailey's was pretty much perfect. I will happily stay here again on future trips to London.

Fantastic hotel in the heart of Kensington. Literally right beside Glouster Tube Station. We took a 25 min tube ride on Piccadilly Line right from Heathrow. Check in was seamless and our room was ready early upon arriving. Hotel has nice old world charm with doormen at the ready. We stayed in a double classic room. It was a tight squeeze but enough room to layout both our luggage. Only complaint was the heating/cooling system didn’t work properly and kept shutting on and off repeatedly, so we ended up turning off at night to sleep, but room got pretty stuffy. Overall, a great stay at The Baileys giving you everything you needed.
