Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. The room was spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable, with thoughtful touches like Ritual bath products—just perfect for a relaxing soak after a long day. I was under the weather with a cold, but the peaceful atmosphere helped me rest deeply and recover quickly. The location is fantastic too—right next to a lovely park, so I could enjoy a morning walk and breathe in some fresh air. It’s rare to find such a calming, well-cared-for place in central London. For the comfort, cleanliness, and overall experience, this hotel easily earns every point. I’ll definitely be back.

I was forced to switch hotels after discovering a cockroach in my original booking, but I couldn't be happier with the change. The Best Western Mornington Hotel in London Kensington exceeded all my expectations—beautiful rooms, spotless, and exactly as pictured, if not better. The location is fantastic: just steps from the tube station, making it super easy to explore central London. I loved how quiet and well-maintained the hotel felt, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

Absolutely wonderful! The Putney Hotel, BW Signature Collection exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm and welcoming, making check-in a breeze. The room was immaculate, spacious, and beautifully designed with modern touches that made it feel like a home away from home. I loved how quiet and peaceful it was, even though it’s just a short walk from local cafes, shops, and the riverfront. The location is ideal—easy access to central London via the tube, yet still feels like a quiet retreat. Everything about this stay felt thoughtfully curated, and the attention to detail truly stood out. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending this gem to anyone visiting London.

Staying on the 4th floor was a bit of a hassle since the elevator only went up to the 3rd floor—had to walk up a flight. The room came with just one towel and no hand towels at all, which was disappointing. The showerhead was broken, and adjusting the water temperature was frustratingly inconsistent. The TV was in the kitchen instead of the bedroom, which made relaxing after dinner a bit awkward. There’s also a small, uncomfortable sofa facing the TV in the kitchen—hardly ideal for watching anything for long. That said, the location is excellent: close to Bayswater, Kensington Gardens, and bus stops. The neighborhood itself feels safe, quiet, and well-connected. Despite the minor drawbacks, it's a pleasant area and the overall value makes this a solid choice for travelers looking for convenience and charm.

I’ll definitely be booking again—this place exceeded all my expectations. The apartment was incredibly comfortable, well-appointed, and offered everything I needed for a stress-free stay. Located in a quiet yet convenient neighborhood, it’s just a short walk from the subway, making it super easy to get into the city center. The area felt safe and welcoming, with plenty of local restaurants and shops nearby. Every detail was thoughtfully considered—from the clean, modern design to the excellent amenities. It’s the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and value. Highly recommend this property for both business and leisure travelers.

Every staff member went above and beyond with their warmth and hospitality, especially Roberta, who truly stood out with her attention to detail and genuine kindness. I loved the little touches like having cookies, flavored water, or iced tea always available at reception—such a thoughtful welcome. The rooms are compact but cozy and well-maintained, making them ideal for a comfortable stay. I even signed up for the loyalty program during my visit, which tells you how much I enjoyed it. My only note is that if you're sensitive to noise, you might notice some sound from neighboring rooms—though I suspect it could be due to the building’s layout rather than disruptive guests. Overall, this place is highly recommended and definitely a top pick for any future trip to London.

Staying at Ashburn Court Apartments was an absolute delight. The apartment is spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay—perfect for a home-away-from-home experience. Located just steps from the underground station, getting around London is super convenient. The only thing to note is that a deposit is required upon check-in, but it’s fully refundable when you check out, so no worries there.

The location was fantastic—walking distance to Kensington High Street and just a short subway ride from central London. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with excellent air conditioning that made the stay comfortable, especially during warmer days. Check-in was a bit stressful due to an unexpected delay, but the team handled it professionally and got us settled without further issues. The kitchen was functional but could use a few more essentials—only one non-stick frying pan was provided, and while all utensils were metal (which we appreciated), having a second cooking option or more basic supplies would have been helpful. Overall, this was a truly enjoyable stay. Great value for money and a perfect base for exploring London.

The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—on my second day, we even chatted briefly in the elevator, which added a nice personal touch. The location is perfect: right next to the Natural History Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum, and it’s only a 20-minute walk to Harrods. The nearest Tube station is on the Piccadilly Line, making travel around London super easy. With such a great location, excellent service, and top-notch value, this hotel is a real winner. I’d definitely stay here again!
