Staying at the London Marriott Hotel County Hall was an absolute highlight of my trip!

Within a 20-minute walk, you're steps away from iconic spots like Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, the National Gallery, Chinatown, and Victoria Station.

After a long-haul flight, arriving at London Marriott Hotel Kensington around 8 a.m. was tiring, but the warm welcome made all the difference. The front desk team was incredibly helpful—they confirmed our room was ready and even had everything prepped for us, so we could check in immediately. That was such a relief after the journey. The room itself was spotless and well-maintained throughout our stay—every detail felt thoughtfully considered. Breakfast was a highlight: a wide variety of fresh, delicious options that kept us energized all day. From the moment we arrived to the last bite, the service and comfort exceeded expectations.

The location is fantastic: just steps away from the 74 bus route, which made daily trips to shopping areas and tourist spots super convenient. I especially appreciated having a kitchen with all essentials—plates, cutlery, and even paper towels—making it easy to prepare meals on-site. The supermarket right downstairs (a large Tesco) was a game-changer for groceries and snacks. And yes—the beef short ribs there are absolutely worth trying; rich, flavorful, and satisfying. For a great balance of comfort, convenience, and value, this hotel is definitely a top pick. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Absolutely fantastic stay from start to finish! The room was compact but very comfortable, with stylish decor that added to the overall charm. The vibe throughout the hotel was excellent—sophisticated yet welcoming. But what truly made this trip special was the staff team, especially Arya and Maya. Their genuine warmth, attentiveness, and care stood out in a city like London, where such personal touches are rare these days. It’s clear they go above and beyond to make guests feel at home. Truly memorable service—well done, team! I’ll definitely be back.

Stayed for just one night and was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome despite checking in late. The staff were incredibly friendly and guided me to my room with a smile. The room was spotless, quiet, and very comfortable—perfect for a restful night's sleep. I appreciated how peaceful it was, even with London’s busy vibe nearby. Location is excellent, just a short walk from the tube station, making it easy to explore central London. The overall experience was fantastic, and I’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend for travelers looking for comfort and convenience.
Kennington B & B
Staying at Kennington B & B was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the Northern Line (black line) station, and you can reach central London on foot in just 15 minutes if you prefer to walk. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything you’d need for a relaxing stay. The bed was cozy, the bathroom spotless, and the breakfast was hearty and delicious. Kimberly, the hostess, went above and beyond—warm, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. She made us feel right at home. This place has such a personal touch, and it’s clear she takes pride in her guest experience. I’ll definitely recommend this gem to friends and will be back myself on my next trip to London.
Hotel 41
Staying at Hotel 41 felt like stepping into a well-kept secret from a bygone era. In an age where many hotels seem to have given up on quality service, it’s genuinely refreshing to find one that still upholds high standards with such dedication. I visited during the quiet March season—my first time experiencing this historic gem from the Red Carnation group. Hotel 41 and its neighboring property, Rubens, are part of the same family, and both are warmly greeted by the same elderly doorman who adds a personal touch right from arrival. From the moment you step inside, the attention to detail is palpable. Our Korean housekeeper was incredibly sweet and enthusiastic—her warmth made the stay feel more like visiting friends than checking into a hotel. As a boutique property, the entire hotel spans just one floor, with the public area doubling as the lobby and lounge bar—an elegant blend of old-world charm and timeless style. Welcome champagne, non-stop snacks throughout the day (candy, ice cream, hot and cold bites), afternoon tea, and late-night nibbles make the experience even more luxurious. The signature treat? Chocolate shortbread—simple but unforgettable. That said, standard rooms are quite small; fitting two adults and two large suitcases left little room to move around. Bathrooms feel dated in design and fixtures, though they’re clean and functional. One delightful touch: the nightly turndown includes a cozy hot water bottle tucked under the sheets—a small gesture that truly warms the soul. You can ask almost anything of your housekeeper—they’ll help with luggage packing, local tips, or even last-minute requests. The location is unbeatable: directly opposite Buckingham Palace stables. Walking to the palace, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey felt effortless—more like a leisurely stroll than a tourist rush. For a unique, intimate, and deeply personal stay in central London, Hotel 41 delivers exceptional value and genuine hospitality.
Cheval Harrington Court at South Kensington
Staying at Cheval Harrington Court at South Kensington was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The room was spotless, modern, and beautifully appointed with high-quality amenities—including a full set of OSEA products in the bathroom, which made every moment feel luxurious. Daily housekeeping service was thoughtful and kept everything fresh and tidy. There’s a front desk available for luggage storage, and the elevator works smoothly—access requires a key card, which adds a nice touch of security. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just a 3-minute walk to South Kensington Underground station, and both the Natural History Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum are within walking distance. Public transport access is seamless, and exploring central London became so easy. One small note: when checking out, we were asked if we’d like to pay a service fee, but this wasn’t mentioned during booking or on arrival. We weren’t sure whether to tip per day or based on meal services, which made the moment a bit awkward. Still, that minor hiccup didn’t take away from how impressed we were with the overall quality, comfort, and convenience. This place offers excellent value and would absolutely be my top pick for future stays in London.
