Good room, ample size. Quite noisy though as hotel is positioned on a main road and the blinds are not black out blinds so woke very early. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom completely new. Would stay again.

Great location. Good rooms and bathroom. Could do with a mirror in the room near to an electrical socket (for drying hair) and the shelves could do with a dust.

Great and easy check in. Very friendly staff. Cute comfortable and convenient room. The only thing would be the road is a bit noisy and the blinds aren’t super dark. But would come back any time!

I am definitely going to book this place again. We went to a concert in Hyde Park and this was perfect for a one night stay. Great location, great value. Right opposite the tube station and within reach of poplar takeaways. Clean, tidy and safe. Bit noisy at night with ambulances passing but the air-con was top draw! 😊

I loved the convenience of being so close to Earls Court tube station so getting around London was easy. The room was a bit rough and could use some maintenance work.

Nice little efficiency very close to Earl’s Court tube station. My room was much smaller than the photos. Although it had a small stove, desk, refrigerator and closet, if there were more than one person in this room it would be too small no space to get in on one side of the bed. Perfect for one.

The cost of staying at Kensington Stay was good for London. It was unusual not to have staff around to hand you your room key but the way system is…it works. Def consider staying again if I need to have a bed for the night.

It felt like we were in a premier boat cabin or space ship. Everything was organized and the sensor lights were convenient. A pity that the elevator was broken and the freezer over frosted but besides that, very convenient, clean, and affordable.

Kitchen was poorly equipped. Only provided with 1 saucepan to cook with. No cutting knives or any other kitchen utensils provided, besides dining cutlery. We were staying for quite some time and had plans to cook some food, but the limited supplies made it hard to. Also there’s some mold around the side of the kitchen sink too.

Perfect for a couple of nights as quiet and fridge makes it easy to self cater. Website and owners need to update/ clearly mark address and provide directions from tube. We had 28-30 as door number but actual number was 1, so we walked right past as lots of people where in the way hiding tiny sign with building name. Also make it clear to use tube exit for Warwick Road/olympia buses NOT main exit. Room was great, plenty of space and water pressure in bathroom excellent. Appreciated UHT milk, tea and bottled water.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Close to the train and bus stations and shops. However, the facilities are quite poor - the fridge door didn't close due to the freezer section full of ice. When contacting staff, he didn't care. Also the bedroom lamp was broken, the TV antenna cable was broken, and the sink moved out of its bench cutout. Wouldn't recommend this property.
Kitchen sink moved within the bench top cut-out, and was quite dirty around it.
