Melia London Kensington Member of Melia Collection
Staying at Melia London Kensington was an absolute delight from the moment I walked in. The hotel's ambiance is elegant and serene, with immaculate cleanliness throughout — every corner feels fresh and well-maintained, even the hallways have a subtle, calming scent. Located just steps away from major attractions, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring central London by tube or on foot. The staff were warm and attentive, making check-in smooth and welcoming. My room was spacious, modern, and perfectly appointed with high-quality bedding that made for a restful night’s sleep. Everything about this stay felt thoughtfully designed — from the tasteful decor to the quiet, peaceful atmosphere. If you’re looking for a premium yet relaxed experience in London, this is definitely the place. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
Imperial Court Suites
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.
Henley House Hotel
Staying at Henley House Hotel was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from major attractions and well-connected by public transit. 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.
Ashburn Court Apartments

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. Overall, this place offers excellent value and a great location—highly recommend!.
High Street Kensington Apartments
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.
K Hotel Kensington
Staying at K Hotel Kensington was an absolute delight! The room was spacious, especially the bathroom—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. It came with a kettle, complimentary coffee and tea, plus a full set of toiletries, which was super convenient. Just remember to bring your own slippers and toothbrush. 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!

Breakfast was a highlight: a menu-driven selection with a small buffet offering fresh, tasty options. Both mornings were enjoyable and satisfying. The attention to detail, cleanliness, and friendly staff made all the difference. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
54 Queen's Gate Hotel
We arrived early to drop off our luggage and were pleasantly surprised when the hotel allowed us to check in ahead of schedule—what a great touch! The only minor issue was a faint lingering scent in the bathroom, likely from recent use, but it cleared up quickly after airing out. We also noticed an open bottle of water in the bathroom, though there wasn’t any drinking water provided in the room itself. Still, the hotel smelled fresh and well-maintained, with a luxurious feel throughout. Located in a prime, upscale area near Queen’s Gate, it’s perfectly positioned for exploring London’s best attractions. Clean, convenient, and full of charm—this place truly delivers on comfort and location. I’d definitely stay here again.
