Kensington House Hotel

The hotel was the perfect location for us as we were going to a concert at the Royal Albert Hall and it was within easy walking distance. I was a bit surprised how small and dated the room was and how different the dining room looked from the photo’s on the website. The breakfast was ok and the room was clean although it was incredibly hot - there was a ceiling fan but it was far too noisy to have running at night, we managed to open the windows so it was bearable. The staff were pleasant and helpful and based on the location I would probably stay there again.

For the Albert Hall this is the perfect location. Staff were just so pleasant and helpful. Nice to have a bath in the room.

One issue with being a solo traveler is that those rooms are often the worst ones in the hotel. This room was very small and at the side. The chest of drawers was chipped and pitted and the glass-topped desk was dirty. It would have been a much nicer room if the hotel took out the desk entirely and replaced it with a side table, put in a taller and narrower chest of drawers near the window and mounted the TV on the wall. Then the wardrobe doors could be fully opened. Replacing the carpet would be a good idea as well. The hotel is in a great location, however, and was quiet. The breakfast was very good and and the reception staff was friendly and helpful.

Great location. Check in was very easy. Pleasant staff . Great breakfast
