The area was clean, safe, and had easy access to transportation. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel itself seemed to be under some construction with uneven floors and cracked walls. My room was located below ground floor and staff continued to ask why I was there even after I checked in! I was located by the front door and I could clearly hear staff talking up in the lobby.

We stayed in a junior suite with our 8 year old and it was perfect! Quiet and enough space with a door closing between the two rooms. There was enough space in the hotels mini fridge to store some yogurt and milk for easy breakfast. Definitely recommend this hotel

Nice boutique hotel in great location for the tube, shopping and restaurants. Nice staff. Room was below ground with weird indoor/outdoor carpet but a few nice touches that made the room feel special. Eg coffee machine, cookies, tea pot and tea, I’d stay again.

I enjoyed my stay here. Some features need updating and the service was good but not top notch. I don’t need much so this didn’t bother me. Very close to the tube.

The Meliá London Kensington Hotel was a great choice. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. The property is clean and well maintained, the location met all my requirements. I would not hesitate to reserve a room here again.
