Typical Customer Reviews
Below are some fairly typical reviews from customers that have stayed at the Kensington Close Hotel. They are independent viewpoints and not necessarily the view of this web site.

"Stayed overnight and had breakfast and lunch next day. I'm sorry that I didn't take any photos because the room, though "small," was neat and very clean as was the bathroom.
There was a large bed, which was comfortable,with a spare blanket though the room was warm enough,a built in wardrobe, a suitcase stand, an easy chair and a decent sized dressing table/desk with a lamp which was very useful.The T.V. worked.
Behind a sliding door which had a huge mirror on it, the bathroom was very clean and the towels fluffy and very white. There were two bottles of bath gel and a wrapped cake of soap. I was impressed by the room service menu though I didn't try it.
There was a large choice of fruits, cereals and breads for breakfast or one could have the "full English". The service at all times was friendly and efficient. Lunch was excellent."

"Well, the Kensington Close is not the Ritz. It is however a perfectly situated hotel for a visit to London. 2 minutes from Kensington High Street tube station (district and circle lines) makes it ideal for discovering London. The hotel has a good breakfast buffet and 2 restaurants and a pub / sports bar. And a (long) swimming pool. The rooms are not big, but then you dont go to London to stay in your hotel room. The staff was friendly and helpful. A good experience."

"Part of a package we booked through American Airlines and we got it at a good price. Yes, the rooms were small but perfect for one person. (We had a single room each.) The rooms were clean and the staff were helpful, particularly in straightening out a problem with Hotelink, the shuttle to and from Heathrow. For a fairly inexpensive hotel in a quiet, convenient location, the Kensington Close can't be beat."

"On most of my business trips to London since 2003 I've stayed at the Kensington Close. I've just returned from the latest trip and while the establishment is definitely a little more worn and, I think, less cared for, the hotel hasn't changed greatly over the last four years as far as the rooms and general atmosphere are concerned. The biggest change I noticed was that the equipment in the gym has been fairly recently updated.
Booking online, check-in and the room itself were all fine. The room itself was a little on the grubby side (the almost obligatory 'stranger's hair' in the bathroom) and it was small, as most rooms in this hotel seem to be. I did hear my neighbours sneeze and a good deal of noise from the corridor as people passed. I hadn't noticed this on previous trips.
The hotel is not palatial, but given the location (tube, restaurants, cafés, Kensington itself) it is possible to stay at the hotel and avoid the hotel's own bar, restaurant etc. Indeed my sole contact with life in the hotel was walking through reception and climbing the stairs to my room (quicker than the cramped lift, even to the fifth floor). I had few problems, the key-card to my door failed: it was fixed immediately. The shower head was wobbly, I reported it, but later fixed it myself. There's often a bit of noise at night from late night revellers returning home from nearby establishments, but it is the heart of London! The £5.00 a day charge to use the gym is a bit much for residents if you stay more than a few days as it mounts up, but I've always found it a good enough gym with decent equipment. Were the Kensington Close situated in another part of London I'd probably shop around for different accommodation on my trips, but being situated 5 minutes from the Circle and District tube lines and with major supermarkets and chain cafés and restaurants similarly nearby I find it hard to beat. I have never had any major problems or issues with the hotel and always found the staff efficient, if sometimes a little exhausted, there is quite a throughput of people in the lobby. The Kensington Close is a place to base yourself at for work or to explore London, it's not luxurious or a resort hotel."
