I had a great stay at the Kensington House Hotel during my solo trip to London. I stayed for a week and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The location is fantastic, close to everything I needed, yet still felt calm and safe, which was really important to me traveling alone! The hotel itself was comfortable, clean, and welcoming. I always felt at ease coming back after a long day of exploring, and the staff made check in and check out super easy. Overall, it was the perfect place for a solo traveler, convenient, safe, and cozy. I would definitely stay here again!

Location was wonderful, Hotel was very low key, nothing fancy, super near to transportation and Kensington Gardens. However, under construction so no air conditioning, windows could open some and area was quiet. Breakfast cafe was lovely in the morning.

Good size room, nice and bright. Breakfast very good and freshly cooked to order with decent portions. Maintenance and smashing needs attention - neither of bedside lights work, no phone in room to notify staff at night, one light has wrong type of plug for socket, no uk socket by bedside for phone chargers, tv connection not good enough to use the streaming services on offer.
