10/10 Excellent
"Kensington House Hotel may be one of London's best kept little secrets. It's just a block away from Kensington Gardens, yet tucked away on a very quiet street. It's also a short walk away from restaurants, stores, supermarkets and coffee shops, and there are lots of bus and underground options nearby to visit other areas of the city. The premises are clean, and the front staff is incredibly nice and helpful. I'd definitely return."

10/10 Excellent
"I've been here two times now and every time it has been very good. convenient location only a few blocks from Paddington station and the main stretch to Hyde park. The rooms are very clean and tidy but the best thing about the rooms and I can't state this enough is the good air ventilation, no warm stuffy rooms, we even got a balcony the first round. Breakfast is probably most people's favourite, they have a clean dining area which was good for talking to other people, plus when you order the staff bring food to you not even 3 minutes later. How good is that! The staff are some the kindest you'll ever meet, if you have the chance have a nice chat with them. Now for the cons these are mostly nitpicking. the amenities weren't the best having no tv, hair-dryer and kettle set is unfortunate but I think if you're in your room watching tv are you really having a holiday? Also I don't really count the kettle as if you ask for one they are nice enough to provide one. I think for this price and everything that is provided. breakfast, Nice clean room and this excellent location this is a steal."

"Overall we had a mixed stay. There a lot of good things ie the staff, food and location. On a slightly negative side the bedding could be improved and something that can’t be changed .. the proximity to the road bcos on a few occasions the sirens from police cars woke me up. Also I paid for a family room with a double bed and a single. However we recieved a room with two single beds in it and we recieved no explanation or refund."
